Street Preacher Has Bible Torn To Shreds At Seattle Pride

"I guess the both of you failed to read the part where he’s been arrested for doing his type of demonstration in the past. He obviously is not practicing his religious freedoms, he’s purposely going to where the people who are there that have legally garnished a permit and he is using his beliefs to protest a difference with the people that are there."

You are the one widely uninformed thinking a permit prevents others from protesting an event at a public space.

I guess you missed the part where it was in a public space and I now know you have no idea what a permit for that group was for. A permit is not to stop others from protesting you, it ensures that things like large groups have an understanding of the use of the space and their responsibilities to use it safely, such as preventing or managing things like blocking traffic.

Also they have video, he did not initiate any physical altercation, unless they had a restraining order he had every right to be in the place he was as they did. You even bringing this up shows your dishonesty and willingness to lie in support of pushing your narrative over facts.

Take a little time to educate yourself on what a permit actually does and how free speech is protected. I get you think you deserve the right to stop free speech you disagree with by using a corrupt government, but that is not how a proper government nor our constitution works. here is a link I would guess you will ignore as it easily refutes all your assumed points on how you want the world to work. In your instance I suggest you look up the term heckler's veto. You cannot manufacture a perceived threat as an excuse to shut down some one else's free speech. https://www.rutherford.org/publications_resources/legal_features/constitutional_qa_the_right_to_protest

“I guess the both of you failed to read the part where he’s been arrested for doing his type of demonstration in the past.”

You know, I read that part, but I missed the part where he was actually convicted of any crime. Isn’t that the way it works in the USA, you are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law?

So if what you say is true, then where are his convictions?

“And many states require a permit to preach on the streets.”

I might remind you that many states have tried to require a great many things that turned out to be unconstitutional.

I don’t post with people that call me a liar or any other detrimental name during a discussion of legal or moral ideologies. If the best you can do is try to discredit the messenger, then you teach me nothing. I won’t be posting to you again. Let me be.

You made the implication that the guy was being violent. If you do not want to be called out do not make such baseless accusations.

I will take it back and deeply apologize if you provide the receipts demonstrating he was instigating physical attacks or violence.

That would be evidence, not a police report that the video has already proven to be false where the cop made the false claim as a justification to trample all over the protester’s rights.

“I might remind you that many states have tried to require a great many things that turned out to be unconstitutional.”

But they still do it and it happens.

In an article from the justice department in 2020:

“The Department of Justice announced today that more than 300 individuals in 29 states and Washington, D.C., have been charged for crimes committed adjacent to or under the guise of peaceful demonstrations since the end of May.”

Colinford Mattis and Urooj Rahman are facing life in prison after officials said they lit a police van on fire with a Molotov cocktail at a Black Lives Matter protest in Brooklyn, New York, in May.

But Mattis and Rahman aren’t alone — more than 13,000 people have been arrested during protests this year, and the Department of Justice said on Thursday that more than 300 people across 29 states had been charged with federal crimes.

On April 26, a Multnomah County judge sentenced Jarrid Bailey Huber, 23, to 60 months of probation and ordered him to pay more than $20,000 in restitution to the organizations and businesses that he damaged, according to a press release from the Multnomah County District Attorney’s Office.

PORTLAND, Ore.—An Indiana man was sentenced to federal prison today for repeatedly and intentionally jeopardizing the lives of police officers, destroying public property, and encouraging others to commit violence during protests that occurred in Portland in 2020.

Malik Fard Muhammad, 25, was sentenced to 10 years in federal prison and three years’ supervised release.

So they do happen. People are arrested for reasons in a protest or counter protest in many states often. The one in question is just another instance. And I feel he did it intentionally because he has accomplished the same actions before at other locations. It all has to do with the agenda of the state or feds as to whether they want to push the issue. Look at Jan 6. Did they illegally enter the capital building? Yes they did. Did it warrant shooting someone, no it didn’t. But that’s what can happen when the counter protest gets placed to create disruption. And that has to be a consideration.

“But they still do it and it happens.”

So what? Just because government tries to do unconstitutional things does not change what is and isn’t constitutional, and it doesn’t change what our rights are.
