Calgary Police Arrest Christian Pastor at His Home for Protesting at Children’s Drag Queen Event

Derek Reimer had been alerted the previous day that he would be charged with mischief and causing a disturbance at a children's drag queen story time last weekend at a public library.

CALGARY, Alberta (LifeSiteNews) — Christian pastor Derek Reimer was arrested Thursday afternoon by members of the Calgary Police Service (CPS) after being warned the previous day there were two warrants out for his arrest because he protested at a children’s drag queen story time at a public library last weekend.

A video posted online by Rebel News shows Reimer, who serves as the pastor of Mission7 street ministry, being put into the back of a police cruiser by two female officers.

A male officer in the video made sure to block the sidewalk so the Rebel News reporter could move closer to the cruiser. However, the reporter was later able to approach the police car holding Reimer, who had his window down.

Before the window was raised, Reimer could be heard saying, “This is what happens when we go against the drag queens.”

Reimer told LifeSiteNews yesterday that Democracy Fund is helping to fund his legal defense through the help of Rebel News.

LifeSiteNews was unable to reach Reimer this afternoon for comment. However, the pastor did promise yesterday that he would provide updates to his case as he is able.

On Wednesday, Reimer had a CPS officer show up at his house to tell him that he would soon be arrested and charged.

This past Saturday, Reimer had been protesting at a kids’ drag queen story time event held at the Seton Calgary public library.

So someone was arrested for protesting but not those who took minor children to this event.

The world is truly upside down.

True, I could tell those two officers were embarrassed to be there. I would not have been so nice in questioning them.

But then I'm not a polite Canadian.

Satan is preparing the world 🌎🌍 for the debut of his anti-messiah, the Antichrist.

His followers, the goats empowered by the spirit of antichrist, are perverting the world by turning everything normal and decent into a freak show.

Reprobates gotta reprobate.

Tagline.

They may have been “embarrassed”… But they still arrested him, didn’t they…

“Just doing my job” …. Gee, I remember a place called Nuremberg, where people said things like that…

You must allow your children to be groomed and indoctrinated./sarc

What kind of parent would take their children to one of these depraved "shows"?

Would I be wrong to assume that 95% of “drag queens” who perform for kids are guilty of various forms of criminal indecency against kids?

I am SO SICK of hearing these things called "kids’ drag queen story time". They are nothing of the sort.

They are MALE ADULTS fantasizing about raping these little children and grooming them to accept it. Tennessee did it right outlawing these perverts from getting anywhere near children.

The whole world was better when ALL the perverts were in closets. Then they began the “We only want the government out of our bedroom” refrain and we were off to the races.

Nope. Sata is on his last lap and pulling out all the stops. The Lord has had enough. Fast and pray and support the troops.

Satan’s Antichrist will come. Let no man deceive you (the Scriptures warn).

They’ll have 7 years of ‘Peace and Security’. The anti-messiah and the False Prophet, that is..

The last half of that 7 years will be anything but that.

Even the Two Witnesses will wreak havoc on the Earth 🌎🌍 during the first half.

But yes; Satan’s pulling out everything he can.

✝️🙏🛐
