Typically, "riot" charges involve an unruly crowd that assembles on public property without going through a license application process. Could that be what this is?

My understanding is that the homosexual group had a permit to parade, and the 11 "martyrs" were attempting to crash said homosexual parade.

My opinion is that making an ass of oneself isn't the best possible way to witness... Furthermore, the idea that these people are being prosecuted due to their Christianity is downright silly. They're being prosecuted for, in general, being disorderly in public.

Agreed. One Bible verse that street preachers seem to forget is, "Do not cast your pearls before swine . . . " They just don't seem to get it.

Amen! I remember a few years back there was a "pastor" who came into Ashland, Kentucky to lead protests against the gay-club at the local high school. Now the common will was against the club as well, but the local pastors believed that this "pastor" was on the payroll of some gay organization. He purposefully looked like a bigoted fool to entice people to sympathize with the homosexual organizations. Could this be a case of that as well?

OH bullshit. They are being charged with felonies for exercising their Right to Free Speech.

Do you think Philly would charge fags under the same circumstances. I am so sick of all the ball-less moderates we are getting on FR. Please, go ahead and join the other frickin side-if you haven't already..

Doesn't one of the charges they face call the bible the "instruments of crime?"
