No, the Christians had a portable bull horn, and used it to sing. I had no problem hearing what was beind sung by one man... in a crowd ... with background noise... from a fairly good distance.
Again, if this had been a group of mild mannered Nazi's; doing exactly the same thing (peacefully spreading their message), behaving in the same manner, the chances are very good that they would be given a choice of depart, or be arrested. The only difference is the subject matter at hand.
I don't think the police had much choice in the matter. The Gay's had paid for their assembly, merchants had set up stands to sell to the Gay crowd; and the Christians decided to descend upon the group. The Christians were not welcome, and were disruptive to the planned event.
Remove the term 'Christian' and insert another term (Insurance agents, Fireman's Ball staffers, Secretaries for the United Way), and they decided to disrupt an event; chances are they would also be given a choice between leaving, or being arrested.
That depends on how the arresting officers feel about Nazis. If they like them, they wouldn't have arrested them. If it was a Christian event, and homosexuals showed up acting exactly as these Christians did, they wouldn't have been arrested. And if the Christians sponsoring the event complained, they would have been arrested for hate crimes. This arrest was a hate crime. They arrested the Christians for being Christians. Nothing more. Nothing less.
This sounds like you were there?
Like the bass speakers blasting from passing cars couldn't be heard at Outfest either. Free Speech doesn't have a decibal limit on it.
