Trespassing Christian Protestors Film Deputy's 'Rant'

It starts out the way one would expect. Religious zealots spewing their philosophy to the public on what the police say is private property. They convince the zealots to move across the street. THEN the policeman that seems to be in charge goes into his rant (which I did not find offensive) Trespassing Christian Protestors Film Deputy's 'Rant'

Deputy: "“I am a non-believer, there is no God, there is no Jesus, there is no Satan,” “You must have a crush on me, man are you like a gay homosexual, you keep filming me.” The part that troubled me is when the other policman told the zealot to "turn off the camera"

If you have no problem with the deputy's rant - anti everything except hatred - and his rant against gays, also his ignorant taunts, then you have a problem.

They had no reason to be there anyway. Why do Christians seem it's so important to curse and hold their hateful signs in public. Then when someone tells them to hike it they scream discrimination.

No, I had no problem with the deputy letting the religious zealots how he feels about religion. You might want to watch the video again as he didn't say anything against gays, he only asked the guy if he was gay.

whoa that was disturbing on so many levels.

first that the guys would be out there with protesting/preachings signs yelling at people, was disturbing.

second that the cop asked the crowd if they wanted the preachy protestors to go. since when do we have mob rule ?

third, that he felt it necessary to inform the people he was escorting of his personal views. that smells of enforcement via prejudice.

it does have one bright spot tho. perhaps it will endear the police with the less fanatical crowd.

Is this some sort of Scientology event?

Wow. Control via powers that be and all.

Ain't it disgusting how religion sucks?!



Damn, I hate them all! Especially Christians! Hypocritical bastidges!

Both were wrong actually in this case. They were wrong about having a right to be there. Cops were wrong about them not having a right to tape them. If at that point they had not reached public property only the property owner could have denied them right to film. Untill that happens it is legal.

Yes, that is true, no laws had yet been broken, I am unsure of any city ordinances. Still why do Christians go about condemning those who don't fit their way of life? How many Christians are closet homosexuals? I'll bet more than a few. It seems like the ones who scream the loudest about being persecuted are the ones who persecute the most.

i protest christian persecution because i have no intentions of being tortured to death or being killed by anything other than the normal course of life, ever again. i don't believe in death. i don't believe in dying. i don't believe in killing. i don't believe in the death penalty. i don't believe in genocide. i don't believe in generalizations of entire groups of people, particularly those meant to target said people for extermination. not.again.

The deputy did an excellent job of lawfully kicking them idiots out of private property where they were not needed or wanted.

Typical. Freedom of speech apparently only applies to 'approved' speech or speech that the mob wants to hear.

The christians of course were right as usual, and their rights were trampled on as typical and the venomous hatred of them, both in the video and in this thread is also very typical.

If you believe it's just a fairy tale, then why does it bother you when someone warns you of hellfire?

Their duty was discharged. They warned the foolish unbelievers of their fate, if they do not repent and turn to Jesus. That's the primary function of christians on this earth, so you'd best get used to hearing it.

Next time before you post watch the video. They were on private property.

I did watch the video. The cop was just making stuff up as he went along. They do that. Moreover private property seems to suddenly extend way out on to public sidewalks and so forth when they so please. I've seen their tactics up close and personal.

In this case there were no sidewalks but there was a huge crowd of people gathered there. Were they all trespassing too?

Yeah they do that but they didn't do it this time. Also private property extends as far as the owner has bought and yes sometimes it's all the way to the public sidewalks. Parking lots etc. included. And no, the crowd that was there had bought tickets to the event, not tresspassing.
Besides, noone ever denied 'your brethen' the right to express their opinions.
