Once they are acquitted, someone needs to sue someone else for false arrest and violation of civil rights.

This case is going to be dismissed (as it ought to be).

Watch the video... I thought the homos were supposed to be tolerant...

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

And I am still wondering where the editorial pages of America are on this story. Where's the outrage?

#1 I'm an atheist.
#2 Fvck Philadelphia. This is bvllsh1t. Christians should be allowed to preach. Free speech is for everyone.

How long before the Bible will be banned?

[usadave]

You cannot quote what the Bible has to say about homosexuality in public or you will be charged with a "hate crime."

Four Christians are facing up to 47-years in prison and $90,000 in fines for preaching the Gospel on a public sidewalk, a right fully protected by the First Amendment.

It seems to me that a "hate crime" was committed against these four Christians.

[StonyBurk]

Have e-mailed th eWhiteHouse-called the Comments line
and sent snail mail to the DOJ Civil Rights Div. How these
Christians could be charged with Ethnic intimidation when
sexual behavior is NOT a Civil Right.How the Bible can be
"fighting words" in the city named from that city given in
the Revelation of Jesus Christ ;where Wm.Penn declared men
must be governed by God ,or they will be governed by tyrants; where James Wilson taught that in Americna Law our
laws must conform to the principles of natural law and not
violate any positive law of Scipture if our laws are to be
valid. That DOJ attorneys would be party to such anti-American invalid prosecution of law does not bode well for DOJ or for America.". . . a Christian nation"US S.Ct.1892

Rush and Hannity should be talking about this every day - but instead Rush goes on about taxes and Rumsfeld. This should be front page news. Just damn!

As time goes by, the vile anti-social behavior of Queers steadily gets worse and worse . . . as this current FReeper article demonstrates!!! Therefore, allow me to repeat my own personal rant one more time:

Oak Hay, so I'm very disturbed and continually puzzled about how a small bunch of contrary to nature freaks can destroy our entire civilization. . . BUT DAMMIT, THEY'RE DOING IT !!!

These unsavory and unclean sub-human creatures delight in ramming their urine exhaust pipes into the rectal relief tubes of young boys (and of each other) !!! They brag and crow loudly about their filthy behavior !!! They demand access to our young and innocent children... so they can commit sodomy and oral sex acts upon them!!! Then they scream and holler...

"Homophobe"

... when we seek to save our children from their filthy and immoral activities!!! WHY IS THIS ALLOWED TO CONTINUE IN THIS ONCE-FREE REPUBLIC ??? DO WE NOT HAVE THE RIGHT AND MORAL DUTY TO PROTECT OUR CHILDREN FROM SLIME LIKE THIS ???

[unixfox]

I don't think these wackos understand that lines have been drawn, and to taunt those lines may become hazardous to their health.

[eastsider]

They were charged with eight crimes, including ... ethnic intimidation

This is a joke, right?

[beelzepug]

"ethnic intimidation"

Queers are now an ethnic group? I suppose that will be another box to check on future federal forms. A great many off-color comments come to mind but I'm gonna let it be.

[TAquinas]

Topsy-turvy world for sure.

Instead of arresting the homos, they arrest our Christian brothers and sisters.

[ArGee]

They were charged with eight crimes, including three felonies: possession of instruments of crime (a bullhorn), ethnic intimidation (saying that homosexuality is a sin), and inciting a riot (reading from the Bible some passages relating to homosexuality) despite the fact that no riot occurred.

Ethnic intimidation? ETHNIC INTIMIDATION? OK, I give. What ethnicity is being intimidated by calling homosexuality a sin?

And why should non-Christians or non-Jews care if something is a sin anyway. Sin only matters if you are going to be judged by G-d. If you don't believe in G-d, calling something a sin has as much meaning as calling something a dinglehopper.

Homoesuality IS a dinglehopper, by the way.

COME AND GET ME!

Shalom.

[joesnuffy]

Rather than arrest the homosexual activists and allow the Christians to exercise their First Amendment rights, the Philadelphia police arrested and jailed the Christians!

They were just following orders......

[Echo Talon]

We need to mobilize this can not stand... The ACLU should be all over it...
