Things were already on the verge of a downward spiral, fighting against it to keep everyone together when Rebel kicked the scales right over. Kennedy didn't like the look in the man's eye as he hawked Rachel and condescended Anise. The man was a real piece of work and when Rebel's attention turned on him and he dropped the Leviticus comment, it was the last straw for Kennedy. The gauntlet had been thrown and Kennedy was off the handle and stepping to the former cop in that instant. Anise was forgotten, Rachel was forgotten, and all the others were forgotten.<br/><br/>"Oh! We have a Westboro boy here!" he stepped up into Rebel's space and gave him a shove. "Is that the kind of guy you are? Are you the kind of guy that sucks the dick of evangelical intolerance and spits the ignorance out on everyone?" SHOVE. Kennedy stood nearly the same height as Rebel, but wasn't as fit. Still, he pressed forward, unwilling to back down.  "God hates fags, right? Ladies be modest, shamefaced, and sober, right? Semper FI Semper Fags?" SHOVE! " Yeah, I've read Leviticus and every other piss poor hate manipulated scripture bullshit that people like you vomit out, so try me, asshole!"<br/><br/>Kennedy seethed with anger over the sexist and phobic comments and it boiled over the edge. His face screwed up with rage as he suddenly whipped his fist back and swung it forward with a solid blow to the guard's jaw. "Because I have<i>never</i>had any<i>patience</i>for<i>pigs </i>like<i>you</i>!" The first punch had been thrown and Kennedy took the split-second advantage that surprise afforded to him to throw his arms around the man and tackle him.
