MARILYN MANSON Concert Brings Protests

August 27, 2009

Wes Woods II of the San Bernardino County Sun reports that MARILYN MANSON's concert on Tuesday night (August 25) at the Pomona Fox Theater in California resulted in an appearance by shouting protesters clad with colorful signs.

Most, if not all, of the signs had Christian themes and instructed people to learn about Jesus Christ.

Concert attendees didn't seem to be too bothered by the protesters.

"We think it's fun," said Cesar Haro, 19, of Pomona. "We think arguing with these people is cool ... but we do think it's very disrespectful, though. We have the right to be here for what we paid. They're disrespecting our area and our right to be here."
Rod Warner, 65, said the protesters call themselves Bible believers.

"The only thing I'm out here to accomplish is what the lord, Jesus Christ, through my belief, tells me to accomplish. And that's take his gospel to the lost," said Warner, who held a sign saying "Trust Jesus 'Repent' Read The Bible."

"Every shirt you see here depicts nothing but death. They can say they're Christians if they want to, but the Lord says worship me with your heart not your mouth."
