Report Says Homosexual DOJ Lawyers Complicit in Arrest of Christians
Posted by Nathan Tabor on 2005/1/6 13:24:17
A source from the U.S. Justice Department reported to WorldNetDaily that homosexual attorneys from the U.S. Justice Department Civil Rights Division attended a homosexual event called “OutFest” in Philadelphia last October and advised police who arrested 11 Christians at the event.
After a judge saw video footage of four of the Christians quoting Bible verses, they were bound over for trial and now face up to 47 years in prison. They were charged with three felony (criminal conspiracy, ethnic intimidation, and riot) and five misdemeanor charges, and the city of Philadelphia labeled the Bible as hate speech.
According to the WorldNetDaily report, the DOJ attorneys may have recommended to police that the Christians be charged with “ethnic intimidation” under Pennsylvania’s new “hate crimes” law. The DOJ employee who spoke to WorldNetDaily on condition of anonymity says that, due to the homosexual U.S. attorneys’ involvement, it is unlikely the DOJ will take up the cause of those now facing criminal charges.
Brian Fahling, senior trial attorney for the AFA Center for Law & Policy, defends the arrested Christians and says the report of DOJ attorneys’
involvement on the scene should trouble all who are following the case.
“This case is historic for all the wrong reasons, and now it turns out that Department of Justice attorneys attended ‘Outfest’ and may have advised the city on what charges to bring,” Fahling said. “ I am stunned.”
“It has been made abundantly clear that my clients will never get justice from Philadelphia, and now it looks like they won't get it out of Washington, D.C. either. This is not an erosion of our rights under the Constitution, it is an earthquake that has swallowed them whole.”
Fahling is asking the DOJ to open a criminal probe into the case.
“I believe the only way to overcome that possible bias is to get a public outcry on such a scale that it cannot be ignored by those higher up in the Department,” Fahling said.
"You vill surrender your bibles, und you vill like it!"
How original.
This is a violation of civil rights on the part of Philadelphia.
Now we just need someone quoting the Koran on the streets and get Philidelphia to label it as hate speech. That will cause some problems for the PC multi-cult fringe.
Bump
I've already written a nasty letter to the Mayor of Philadelphia, Mayor Street about the situation.
I figure considering how corrupt Philly is (trust me, I got to College outside of the city), all Street would have to do to get these four guys off of the hook is to pick up the phone and make a few calls.
Why should Street care? I'll write if you can give me a real reason. I only work in the city, but it might be worth it.
