It took less than sixty seconds of standing on a sidewalk for Damon Atkins to be placed in handcuffs and arrested for quoting a portion of a Bible verse.
On Saturday morning dozens of people were gathered outside the Reading City Hall on Washington Street to participate in the city’s first ever “Pride March and Rally” endorsed by Mayor Eddie Moran. At approximately 10:05 a.m. Atkins arrived at a public sidewalk across the street from City Hall.
In less than a minute he found himself in handcuffs.

He was NO ARRESTED, He was KIDNAPPED AT GUN POINT and the thug in the magic blue costume needs to be Put Away for a very long time.
With that said, if you really want to preach at these events USE THE KORAN OR HADITH and watch what happens.
In Reading, reading is OK, as long as it isn’t the Bible you are reading from.
Had a hard time telling this wasn’t in the UK.
Pennsylvania.
That would actually be a very impactful thing to do. Go with an observant Jew & a Muslim. Make sure they take you all away & then you’ve got an interesting court case on your hands.
Wow...this is completely protected speech...I hope the cop and the city have good lawyers...
Sure feels like the season, the day and hour of which no man knows. But the season...
This clown needs to be retired Lancaster!
So sad that a believer cannot preach the Bible on the street......
I don’t.
The cop needs to be jailed for 10 years for kidnapping, plus time for using a firearm in the commission of a crime, and the city needs to feel the pain for hiring some thug and sticking a badge on em.
Uh! Reading......

Sarge has the two girls for backup.
They are getting the lions ready at the Reading Colosseum
I’m thinking the “girl” on the right would be happy to be a part of the event being protested by the Christian.
I thought so too. Perhaps it’s the haircut.
The act is so blatant, even with good lawyers this is bullet proof case of 1A violations. I hope they are sued in federal court.
That book composed between 3500 and 2000 years ago is so powerful it still causes many to go into a hysteria fit if they hear a quotation from it!

Just be sure you don't bring a Bible with you!
Wow. It sounds like something that might happen in Lancaster or Reading in the modern, woke England, not yet in the US. Things are moving faster than even the more cynical predictions.
Lol!
It’s pronounced “red-ing”....but that’s good.
