Ben Schettler, the president and co-founder of the Center for Truth in Love, found himself the target of a leftist mob in New York City for the crime of his faith in Jesus Christ.
On Thursday, Schettler posted to social media platform X about events that had taken place the night before. Schettler had a table set up to speak to people passing by, and for that, he was beaten.
“Last night I was assaulted in New York City. I was cursed at, pushed around, and beaten. An unfortunate day that ended with an ambulance ride to the ER. I was surround by a mob. I was hit at least four different times that we can count by three different people. And I dodged a few other blows. At another point, I was surrounded by several people and I got hit across the face, a sucker punch from behind me,” he wrote.
“I did sustain a very hard blow to the head. As a survivor of a traumatic brain injury, we are praying this hit will not bring permanent damage. I do have some blurred vision, extreme light sensitivity, and severe eye pain right now.”
He listed the positions he was defending that his attackers apparently could not tolerate.
“Why would someone do this? It was simply because I would dare to have a discussion with them and hold opinions like, ‘the Bible is 100% true’ or ‘atheism isn’t logical’ or ‘pre-born babies should be allowed to live.’” He concluded by asking his followers to “please pray for healing.”
