Around 12:45 p.m. in the courtyard outside Cooper Hall, USF student Steve Jorgenson rushed evangelist Micah Armstrong, wrapped his hands around the preacher's throat and choked him for several seconds. Jorgenson then yanked off Armstrong's blue-and-yellow sandwich sign and snapped it over his knee. The front of the sign read "God Hates Sin."
The physical confrontation came after Armstrong repeatedly called Jorgenson's girlfriend, Taylor Engert, a "slut," "whore," and "loose sorority slut" during a sermon thick with hellfire and damnation.
"I definitely lost my temper," said Jorgensen, a junior majoring in political science. "That's something that I rarely do. It was a reaction, and I'm kind of disappointed in myself for letting something like that bother me. I just couldn't tolerate anyone saying those things to my girlfriend."
