London priest: ?You can quit being gay like smoking or drugs?

Vicar accuses police of being 'manipulated by homosexuals' after authorities arrested an American evangelist in Wimbledon

A London priest has said you can quit being gay like you can with smoking cigarettes or using drugs.

Peter Ratcliff, a vicar of St John?s Church of England in Colliers Wood, south-west London, came to an American evangelist?s aid after his arrest last week.

Last week, Tony Miano was held for around six hours after he preached homosexuality was a sin on Wimbledon streets as the international tennis event took place.

In a YouTube video, police can be seen approaching the 49-year-old to question whether he had been offending public order. He was later arrested and released without charge.

Ratcliff accused police of being ?manipulated by homosexuals? and demanded a public apology.

?If anybody should be charged with hate it is his accuser who appears to have sworn at him,? he said.

?In the USA there are now groups of ex-homosexuals who have been able to repent of homosexuality in the way that one might for example give up cigarettes or drugs.?

Ratcliff is possibly referencing ?ex-gay? groups like Exodus International, which recently closed its doors admitting ?gay cures? did not exist and apologizing to the gay community.

The British priest added: ?I call upon Merton police to publicly apologise for such high handed use of the law and for allowing themselves to be manipulated by homosexuals who are evidently trying to silence those who not merely have Biblical and moral objections to homosexuality but are proclaiming the way of eternal life through Jesus Christ to all people regardless of their present circumstances.?

Two killed, man arrested, second possible suspect sought in shooting at San Francisco jewelry store

By M. Alex Johnson, Staff Writer, NBC News

Two women were killed and a man was wounded in an attack at a store in a busy San Francisco jewelry market Friday, authorities said. Police arrested a blood-covered man who they said twice opened fire on officers.

Officers initially responded to reports that multiple people had been shot at the GiftCenter & JewelryMart in the city's South of Market district about 2 p.m. (5 p.m. ET) and encountered a man running out of the store.

San Francisco Police Chief Greg Suhr said the man, who was covered in blood, opened fire on the officers. He then fled to a nearby restaurant, where he opened fire on a second group of officers before he apparently ran out of ammunition, at which point he surrendered.

The man had a revolver and an "edge weapon" ? described as a folding knife ? when he was taken into custody. He was being treated for superficial wounds, Suhr said.?

It wasn't clear whether the blood that covered him was from his wounds or from the victims, Suhr said..

Inside the market, police found the bodies of two women and a man who had been wounded in the lobby of one of its many jewelry stores. The cause of their wounds hadn't been determined, Suhr said, and no further information about them was immediately available.

Suhr said the male victim was stable at a hospital.

Suhr said police believed there was only the one suspect, but he said officers were scouring the area "out of an abundance of caution." He asked people in the area to stay indoors and shelter in place for the time being.

The block where the shootings occurred is lined with jewelry stores and is near the Concourse Exhibition Center, a venue for large conventions and trade shows. No events were taking place there Friday, according to the site's event calendar.?
