An American pastor was arrested by Ugandan police for allegedly attacking a hotel employee in the name of Jesus on Friday, according to local reports. Jimmy Taylor, a missionary, was seen hitting, slapping, pushing, cursing and chasing down a staff member of the Grand Imperial Hotel in Kampala named Francis on Thursday night. He jumped over the front desk and followed Francis into the lobby area. Francis is then seen sidestepping and defending himself from multiple attempts by Taylor to hit him and refusing to engage in violent behavior. A man in blue that intervened was later caught in attempts by Taylor to hit Francis again after being escorted to a distant area in the room, the Uganda Dispatch reported. A third person that was not identified to the public filmed the entire incident, who Ugandan police personally thanked in a Tweet featuring photos of Taylor being arrested. "Film me. Fuck Uganda, I've come to love Uganda, I've come to help Uganda, but Uganda hates Jesus through this son of a bitch," he declares to the camera and the man in blue establishing a physical barrier between Taylor and Francis. Police have since also recovered CCTV recordings of the incident. When his effort to embrace the employee mid-insult was turned away, Taylor demands to be obeyed and approaches Francis a second time. He used the n-word and continued to cuss as Francis tried to leave the room, reaching out to hit him in the back of the head. "No! No! You obey what I say. I don't obey you. Open my f****** room now! You b****! Look at me! Look at Christ who died for you," Taylor shouts at Francis. No information has yet been made public detailing the cost of potential damages Taylor made to merchandise at the hotel, and the identities of those involved have been kept sealed due to the pending investigation. Taylor, during a line of questioning, confessed to having assaulted the hotel staff and claimed to have a medical condition that cause the violent outburst. The suspect will be subjected to a medical examination to ascertain the validity of the claim and the nature of the disease, as well as the intended effect of its medication before proceeding with legal action.

You hate yourself? You hate me? Huh?” the American asks as he closes in on his victim. It is not immediately clear what caused the pastor’s outrage even as the man recording the video cheers him on. “Francis wacha akupige (Francis let him beat you up),” the man holding the camera says. The racist American pastor then slaps Francis on the face while yelling: “Talk! Talk!” He continues to insult the man calling him derogatory names but the employee still doesn’t fight back. A man in a blue shirt enters the room and tries to intervene as the racist American pastor claims that Francis “has disgraced Jesus.” “I will not tolerate no more….Jesus will not tolerate….f*** Uganda,” the pastor says pointing his middle finger towards the man holding the camera. He claims that he has come to love and help Uganda but says the country “hates” Jesus through “this s** ** * *****”. “Brother, you understand me?” he asks the man in blue. The racist American pastor then attempts to either hug or kiss the man in the blue shirt who quickly pulls back. “NO! NO! You obey what I say. I don’t obey you. Open my f****** room now! You b**** Look at me! Look at Christ who died for you,” the man tell Francis. Francis, who has remained calm all this while, attempts to leave the scene and the pastor slaps his head.

Taylor was in Uganda as a missionary. He had arrived recently after doing similar Christian missionary work in India.

Look at Christ Who Died For You… Ni**er!’ In the near 2-minute violent racist attack, Taylor jumps over the hotel lobby counter, throws and smashes items onto the floor and goes after one employee while another can be seen off to the left. “You hate Jesus. You hate yourself. You hate me. You disgrace Jesus. Huh? Talk. Talk!” And then he punches the hotel front desk staffer in the face. The man restrains himself. Folds his arms and takes another hit. “Come on bitch. Come on, whore. You open my fuc*ing room. I’ll fuc*ing kill you.” And he strikes the man again. An employee, possibly a manager, in blue shirt, comes into the frame and Taylor says, “Sir, sir. He has disgraced Jesus, he has disgraced Jesus.” And then Taylor strikes the man again and again. The employee pushes back but Taylor keeps going. “I’m not gonna tolerate no more. Jesus is not gonna tolerate it …Yeah, film me,” he says when he realizes a camera is recording him. “Fuck Uganda. I come to love Uganda. I come to help Uganda but Uganda hates Jesus through this son-of-a-bitch. You understand me. Yes, I know you do.” And then puts his hands on the hotel employee in the blue shirt’s face. The employee pulls away. Taylor then says, ““No! No! You obey what I say. I don’t obey you. Open my fuc*ing room now!” Taylor continues as the men remain calm. “You understand? You understand ni**er bitch. Ni**er. Look at me! Look at Christ who died for you. Look at me. Look at Christ.” The employee who Taylor repeatedly attacked is his primary target. The employee tries to walk away and Taylor cracks him on the back of his head. 2.

Taylor, From Florence, Arizona, Has a Public Facebook Page & Thousands of Outraged People Have Posted Comments Many NSFW, but mostly with the same sentiment: how can a man of God use such violence, bigotry and hatred and be called a Christian. And Taylor, 69, in recent posts shares some unusual comments and likens himself to Christ. “Jesus Is separating the chaff From the Wheat I have many wealthy ( past friends ) who won’t even support Christ in me for the true needy. I say , Fuck U unworthy bitches, Jesus will command trees to provide me. In the last days, many will say, Lord lord, did we not heal the sick, and cast out demons in thy name, Jesus will say, I never knew u Motherfuc*er, depart from me U workers of inequity. Its not ur Goddam money. Money is useless in ur pocket.” Some suggested he is mentally ill but do not excuse his behavior. Taylor is said to have told police he has PTSD and said that was the cause of his attack and tirade. In the days leading up the the attack and his subsequent arrest, Taylor posted inexplicable commentary. “Same Spirit different jobs. If you claim ONENESS in Christ, it’s 24/7 or Zero. When a Messenger or prophet speaks its the same Christ and obedience to each command is essencle (sic) We immediately obey, its called obedience.” Before Uganda, Taylor was in India. This post is from his last days there: “Rejoice! We have successfully connected orphans, lepers,outcasts to Christ body. Its surprising what a little hugging and kissing outcast can wipe away centuries of being outcasts. I’ve instructed others to abandon titles such as orphans, lepers, etc to body of Christ in these villages. We encourage they share something, thus connecting them to Christ body. Be hot or cold. U reap what u sow.” 4. Taylor Said He Was to be Married on August 18, The Day of His Arrest.
