Good Lord: Man says Jesus told him to ram SUV into clinic

A man who rammed his SUV into the Planned Parenthood clinic in St. Paul on Thursday told police that Jesus told him to do it, the Star Tribune reports. Matthew L. Derosia was watching a Catholic television channel when he says Jesus told him to “Stop the murderers.”

He told police that “we are in World War III and that Jesus is coming back really soon,” according to the criminal complaint. When officers arrested him, Derosia was shouting Bible verses and saying “Close down the Auschwitz death camp.”

Anti-abortion activists commonly use Nazi or Holocaust references when discussing abortion.

The Star Tribune reports that Derosia has had a history of mental illness.
