PITTSBURGH, PA - A rowdy gang of angry, riled-up Arminian believers gathered to pull down a statue of Reformer John Calvin standing in front of Calvin Reformed Bible College & Seminary, authorities confirmed Friday.

The band of Wesleyan troublemakers brought a rope, lassoed it around the neck of the stone likeness of Calvin, and yanked it down while yelling rallying cries like "Down with limited atonement!" "You'll never take our free will!" and "For Servetus!"

Mob members then stomped on the statue and spray-painted crude Arminian slogans on the downed Reformer, according to police reports.

"We encourage all citizens to stay indoors as this dangerous gang of theological hooligans roams the streets," police chief Ed Patterson said at a press conference. "When you get the Arminians going, there's no extent to the depravity they can display."

"Stay safe out there, and may God bless you all," the police officer concluded before ducking to avoid an on-fire copy of Why I Am Not A Calvinist hurled by a rogue protester in the crowd.
