I had to laugh about your comment about them coming for the Christians. I laughed not because it is not inconceivable but I suddenly imagined a bunch of those same drunks carrying flaming torches and driving up to my front door in a beatup F-100 Ford some evening. At least one can imagine that drunks would have as good a motive as any American for going after Christians. However, I digress here.

Regarding my pre-crime accusations, if there are no laws against public intoxification where these events occurred, and no other laws were broken, I will admit that you are right and I am wrong. If, however, these people were in violation of laws, then the police were solidly within their right to do what they did. If you believe that I too lightly dismiss possible crimes by Texas law enforcement officials ask me sometime to tell you the story of my great great grandfather who shot and killed a Texas Ranger (and several other law officers) in Sabine County when they sought to arrest him on purely circumstantial evidence.

FYI, most Christians are not Tee Totalers. "Drunks" in the true meaning of the word, not your judgemental version, consist of a very small segment of society. The segement of alcohol consuming adults who would actually qualify for the term "drunks" are statistically so insignificant that they wouldn't even show up if you rounded to the nearest whole number (i.e. no decimals).

Trust me, if/when persecution of Christians becomes a favorite past time of the state, it won't be "drunks" who do it. It will be the police. You know as well as I do that it will happen, we don't know when, but it will.
