The criminals in New York are getting bolder and bolder.

This gang of bandits roamed right into the middle of a church service, guns drawn, and robbed "Bishop" Lamar Whitehead while he was preaching a sermon.

I just wanna know, who is this dude in the back who doesn't react at all?

What is up with this man?

Your preacher is being robbed! Do something!

You'd think the congregation would want to defend him, since the man presents himself as God on earth. After all, this "bishop" and "apostle" has his own freaking coat of arms behind him on the stage (people, if you don't see a giant flag bearing a preacher's own name as a red flag that they are a charlatan, I can't help you).

This happened right in the middle of the Sunday service:

On Sunday, Whitehead was in the middle of his sermon at the Leaders of Tomorrow International Ministries in Canarsie around 11:14 a.m. when three masked gunmen burst in, police said.

"How many of you have lost your faith because you saw somebody else die?" Whitehead asked his congregation — right before spotting the armed intruders.

"All right, all right," Whitehead then said several times before hitting the floor on his hands and knees.

The men took $400,000 worth of jewelry from Whitehead, his wife and possibly churchgoers, according to police. Whitehead, dressed in a maroon suit with a gold-trimmed collar and sleeve cuffs, was wearing a long gold chain and a large ring on each finger at the time.

These guys knew Whitehead was rich and that he'd be wearing expensive jewelry – nearly half a million dollars' worth!!!

The report isn't even clear if any congregants were robbed. The story seems to indicate that most, if not all, of the jewelry was from the pastor and his wife.

The bishop himself indicated this was the case:

Even the prosperity preachers aren't safe in NYC anymore!
