I second that!
This case still baffles me that this can happen in America. Maybe in the Peoples Republic of Canada, but not America.
This is a pro-Christian article.

I could see some serious lawsuits coming out of this.
I think the best way for Christians to have any clout would be for entire congregations to be at these events, so the police would have to arrest about 300+ Christians who are exercising free speech rights. The idea would be to mimic the Danes who all wore Star of David emblems during the NAZI era. If this continues, I would hope that all good Christians would find leadership skills and encourage their pastors to cooperate in enlarging the numbers in these gatherings.
OK, I'm confused. I've read earlier where the charges against the "Philly Five" were dropped. So I went to see whether this was really a new news story. The filename in the URL seems to say it was reported 2/10/05. But the story is copyright 2004.
I could honestly imagine the Philly Five reasonably being charged with disturbance or disorderly conduct. Whether you agree with their message or not, the homos got a valid license to demonstrate. The reason you need a license, rather than simply exercise your first amendment rights, is that the street belongs to the public, but you are staking out a claim to it for a particular purpose.
The Philly Five were interrupting that purpose. If ACT-UP showed up to an outdoor mass chanting to the bishop, "We're here, we're queer, get over it," I would certainly want them arrested. Heck, if they demonstrated in front of a St. Patrick's Day parade, I'd want the police to have the authority to clear the route. Same goes for the national conventions.
But contrast the treatment of the convention disruptors with that of the Philly Five. The convention disurptors got a night in jail, and every one in the press is screaming how unfair that was. The Philly Five get charged with felonies, and threatened with PRISON TIME??? Not jail time, but PRISON TIME???
Having to "listen to messages you don't like" has been the premise used from day-one by civil rights activists, at least in the early stages of their movements.
The agenda's incremental gains have progressed to the point contradiction. "Tolerance" was the buzzword of the '80's, and the activists preached that free speech meant "what you don't like" more than anything else. Being offended meant you were being enlightened.
The movement now increasingly enjoys protected minority GROUP status, which can be used against the INDIVIDUAL who says things they don't like. Being offended now means being threatened or attacked, ...if you identify yourself strategically.
The fires of retribution will burn hot in that city of "brother love" if these Christians are convicted and jailed.
There could be a possibility that Watts will seem like a local BBQ compared to the backlash that could come from law-abiding Americans nationwide to the tyranical usurption of power by these perverted lawyers and judges.
Homosexuals need tolerance training.
The rest of us will be in a better place.
But the Democrats funded by a wealthy homosexual here in
Colorado want to export the same unlawful lunacy to Colorado.WHY? To destroy our social structure.I suppose.
Thank you for an excellent peice

BTTT!
There was an earlier, confusingly written article which implied, mainly by a misleading headline, that the charges were dropped. They were NOT dropped, as I suggested at the time.
Although this article doesn't mention it, there is some evidence that homosexuals from the Department of Justice took part in this event, and that they used their official credentials to urge the police to arrest the Christian protestors. If so, that angle should be pursued, and they should be fired for misuse of their positions. But I'm not holding my breath.
I think this case will be thrown out. But that's not enough. Someone needs to bring suit for false arrest and violation of citizens' rights.
INTREP - [see my tag line]
"Cast not your pearls before swine, for they will tear them and rend you". I have a few questions, did the Christians have a legal permit to parade? And is having a legal permit not against the Constitutional protection of having the right to meet in the public square?

I can see a law suit coming out of this too. It's not only ist amendment rights vs 1st amendment rights, it's also hate crime vs hate crime. As far as I read these legislations, religion is also covered!
