Without knowwing more:

...eleven Christians were arrested on the streets of Philadelphia...

Aren't streets sort of public? And while you can close down a street for an event, if you intend to keep the public out, aren't you obligated to provide barricades and security? As far as I can tell these Christians were not gate crashers, just members of the public exercising their rights at a public event.

The street that we entered was open to the public. The only barracade we faced was the line of pink angels with interlocked arms. The police eventually let us through the line and said that we could go anywhere we wanted since it was a public street. Everything was caught on video and audio.

I just got this note from the father of Lauren Murch (one of the Philadelphia 5)

Breaking News!

I was contacted by the Philadelphia attorney and told that the Prosecutor in Lauren's case has said he will drop the charges. It is not yet official, the charges have not yet actually been dropped, and we may still have to appear in court on the 18th, but this is excellent news!

In further good news, it is becoming evident what God's plan was in all of this.

So far, 17 Pennsylvania legislators, led by a Democrat, have drafted a bill removing "sexual orientation" from their hate crimes legislation, that they just put in there back in 2002!

Furthermore, the reason they are doing it is because of this case! The very first time it was invoked, it was so badly abused, and brought such overwhelmingly negative publicity to the State and the City, they have decided to mount a move to trash the language they fought so hard to have put in!

Let's pray they are successful.
