Apparently, in a Wisconsin town, it is illegal to preach the gospel and protest at a drag show for children. Local police arrested several youths while they were practicing their First Amendment right to engage in free speech in a public area at a public event. It seems those supporting these shows are willing to use the power of the government to punish those who dare to speak out against it.
The incident happened on Saturday in Watertown, Wisconsin:
Police arrested and detained several young people in Watertown, Wisconsin, on Saturday while they were preaching the gospel at a public drag queen event targeted toward children.
Video circulated on social media showing multiple police officers arresting Marcus Schroeder as he was reading from the Bible. One officer was recorded aggressively pulling a microphone out of his hands and walking him away in handcuffs. Nick Proell, another young Christian, was detained and removed from the venue but later released with a warning.

A Federal appeals court would throw that out in a heartbeat.

It is shocking what the Gay Mafia has done to rural America.

It is good to see young people standing up for their beliefs. Do they really think this is a good way to convince young conservatives that the left only has their best interests at heart? The actions of the police and city leaders will only make those young men more staunchly conservative.
I’d rather have a Pinochet than a Trudeau!
F’ the police!

The young man was not arrested for what he was saying. He was arrested for using a microphone system that the police claimed was too loud. Municipalities have noise ordinances for good reason.
So, did the police first do a decibel check, then warn the kid? If so, this was a good arrest. If not, it was a bad arrest and the kid should sue the city.
Of course, the noise complaint just might have been an excuse to arrest the kid. The key here will be whether or not the police measured to noise level first.
You can read the Bible in public in Russia and China. And there are NO Trans-Satanist events like this.

Question. “Pride” is the current Government-supported religion. Isn’t arresting these guys the same as forcing the Governments religion down their throats?
The only reason it can’t be cited, I suspect, is that Congress hasn’t made it a law.
Wondering if a certain religion is being persecuted for blaring out the call to prayer five times a day.
