Rapture Preacher may have incited at least some to anger/retaliation

Keith and Kellie Bauer spent the week touring the country in anticipation of the rapture that Oakland preacher Harold Camping predicted would occur Saturday. Their son Joshua Bauer, 3, and relative Thomas Puff, 4, peer into the closed headquarters of Camping's Family Radio in Oakland. (Rick Loomis, Los Angeles Times / May 22, 2011)

In the end, rapture believers weren't going anywhere

Others had risked a lot more on Camping's prediction, quitting jobs, abandoning relationships, volunteering months of their time to spread the word. Matt Tuter, the longtime producer of Camping's radio and television call-in show, said Saturday that he expected there to be "a lot of angry people" as reality proved Camping wrong.

Tuter said Family Radio's AM station in Sacramento had been "severely vandalized" Friday night or Saturday morning, with air conditioning units yanked out and $25,000 worth of copper stripped from the equipment. He thinks it must have been an angry listener. He was off Saturday but planned to drive past the headquarters "and make sure nothing's burning."

Camping himself, who has given innumerable interviews in recent months, was staying out of sight Saturday. No one answered the door at his Alameda home, though neighbors said he was there.


**** First I've heard of any retaliation....:shrug:

although I'm sure there are a lot of the latter.

On the other hand, I read on Friday night that Harold Camping had taped his last show and gave the staff the day off; I imagine someone knew that and took it as an opportunity.

Praise Gawd! ;)

I believe the money also raptured to somewhere like, oh the Cayman Islands?

he just had a handful of supporters- I really didn't follow the story closely.

It sounds like thieves. The media loves to invent stories.
