Pastor Facing $100 a Day Fines for Helping Homeless Women and Children ...

Kent County, DE — Proving once again that the state has no interest in helping people, the state of Delaware is attacking a pastor who would dare attempt to help the homeless. Pastor Aaron Appling of Victory Church West in Dover is being threatened with a $100 per day fine by county officials for allowing a 21-year-old homeless woman to live in an RV in the back of the church property.

Because Appling didn't go through the right channels of extortion and get his own property approved by the government to do with it what he wishes, officials are promising to extort him.

According to NBC Philadelphia, Kent County officials sent Appling a letter stating his church isn't zoned to let homeless people stay on the property. The letter warns that if the church doesn't act quickly, they could be fined $100 a day.

To be clear, a fine is backed by the threat of violence from the state for non-payment. If Appling continues to be a good samaritan by providing a woman with shelter and refuses to pay the $100 per day fine, he will receive a visit from armed agents of the state demanding payment.

If Appling refuses to pay the extortion fees to these armed agents, they will attempt to kidnap and cage him. If Appling resists his kidnappers, he will have violence enacted against him, and he could be legally killed.

Alexis Simms, a 21-year-old homeless mom who is battling lupus, has nowhere to go — and, the state is attempting to take the only thing she has positive in her life right now — pastor Appling's kindness.

"We want to stand up for her," Appling said. "Because there is nobody else to stand up for her."
