A physical altercation inside the Kansas Statehouse today ended with Capitol Police arresting Satanic church leader Michael Stewart, capping off a morning of inflammatory religious demonstration. Stewart punched a man who repeatedly attempted to rip a booklet out of his hands while he called out to Satan from the Capitol’s first-floor rotunda. Less than an hour earlier, police apprehended a man who charged across the Capitol lawn and tackled Stewart, grappling with him over the communion wafer he was stomping on. Around 30 members of the Satanic Grotto church and their supporters demonstrated in front of the east steps of the Capitol before Stewart entered the building around 11:30 a.m. As he walked in, a Capitol police lieutenant warned Stewart that he could be inside but that law enforcement would have to take action if he “performed any type of event or disruption.” Read more about what went down at the link in our bio. 🎥: Emily Curiel/The Star (@shortlittlekidd)
