Nice…
A Buffalo priest pointed a gun to a teenage boy’s head to force him into sex acts — and the “sick behavior” turned him on, according to the alleged victim’s lawyer.
The disturbing allegations were lodged against Rev. Michael Freeman, who died in 2010 at age 63, local network WIVB Channel 4 reported.
The alleged victim, now 48, said Freeman would hold a silver .38-caliber revolver to his head to get him to comply in the 1980s.
“This gentleman has told me that it wasn’t so much ‘I’ll put a gun to your head, do this or else,’ but it was more of like ‘this would get the priest excited if he (had) a gun to his head,’” said lawyer Steve Boyd. “So it’s really sick behavior.”

“We live in a moment, in a time period, with a void of political and spiritual leadership. In that kind of period, a heavy burden falls to the arts. We, the artistic community — the people in this room and elsewhere — we can transcend minds and open hearts that are normally closed. We must not give into tribal thinking. As members of the artistic community, we are the great generators of empathy and compassion and we have to do our work. We are living in a time period where the environment, education, racial equality … they are being criminally disregarded. It’s a real problem. It’s unacceptable. What my mom always said to me is you don’t have to protect the truth, you have to live in the truth, and it will protect you.”
How fucking comped is this guy? Think about how twisted that last line is.
