A street preacher is suing an Oregon city for more than $300,000 over an incident earlier this year when officials stopped him from preaching about the Gospel and against abortion.
Mark Mayberry recently filed a lawsuit in district court against Portland over an incident from June in which a city employee attempted to stop him from passing out literature and displaying a pro-life sign at Waterfront Park, reported KOIN.
Mayberry is seeking around $307,000 and has asked that the city be penalized for violating a previous order protecting street preachers at the Waterfront.
“While Plaintiff expressed views that were undoubtedly controversial to some, his speech and conduct were civil, peaceful, and by no means incendiary,” wrote Ray Hacke, attorney for Mayberry, as reported by KOIN.
“Despite being cleared to resume free speech activities at Waterfront Park without fear of penalty, Plaintiff has not returned to the park — largely due to well-founded fears that he will be cited again.”
On June 1, Mayberry was handing out pro-life pamphlets and displaying a pro-life sign when he was ordered by a park officer to leave the park.

Oregon ping
Well, Mr. Preacher, just be glad you didn’t get clocked on the noggin with a high heeled shoe by an angry Transvestite.
That poor man needed over 30 stitches in the head.
Go for it. What’s good for the goose, is good for the babykillers.
The preachers lucky the Portland Police didn’t execute him on behalf of their degenerate mayor.
Clearly a first amendment violation. These officials take an oath to defend and protect the constitution. They should be impeached,fined and ordered to write “I’m sorry” a million times on a billboard in blood.
