Evangelicals should reconsider supporting Jews who are bent on taking away the speech and religious freedoms of Evangelicals.

The latest I could find:

“Sir, sir, sir — you need to go someplace else," the security guard told Mackey.

"Sir, I’m going to keep reading; you do what you need to do," Mackey responded.

Shortly after, a California Highway Patrol officer intervenes.

Mackey read, “And when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be--"

"Why don’t you give him the book, you’re under arrest," the officer told Mackey.

Authorities say the men acted aggressively and in a way that was disruptive to the business of the DMV.

Attorneys for the men claim the charges are “unconstitutional and overbroad.” They claim the Bible reading was not a demonstration.

Mackey and Coronado sued the CHP and the arresting officer. The men claim they were prohibited from exercising their right to free speech and were falsely imprisoned. The lawsuit is on hold until the criminal case is resolved.

Mackey and Coronado are expected to enter a plea next month. If convicted, the men could face probation or up to a year in jail.

What happened to Mackey?

I understand he is still in jail awaiting trial and preaching to his jailers. He may be waiting for an earthquake to open the cell doors for him and release him from his prison as happened to the Apostle Paul.

Acts 16

19And when her masters saw that the hope of their gains was gone, they caught Paul and Silas, and drew them into the marketplace unto the rulers,

20And brought them to the magistrates, saying, These men, being Jews, do exceedingly trouble our city,

21And teach customs, which are not lawful for us to receive, neither to observe, being Romans.

22And the multitude rose up together against them: and the magistrates rent off their clothes, and commanded to beat them.

23And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast them into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely:

24Who, having received such a charge, thrust them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks.

25And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them.

26And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's bands were loosed.

27And the keeper of the prison awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, he drew out his sword, and would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been fled.

28But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here.

29Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas,

30And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?

31And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.

He wasn't simply reading his bible to himself waiting for the DMV to open. I do wonder if the arresting officer gave him the chance to stop reading out loud to the people in the line........

“He's creating an intimidating situation for people who simply want to get their drivers licenses renewed,” says Conaway, who says it’s OK to preach in public, but not when your listeners can’t leave.

“He does not have the right to intimidate others and force them to listen and impede their ability to do normal business activities such as going to the DMV.”

Many in the OWS movement have been arrested.

Oh but wait, the two black panthers in philly were intimidating people, what happened to them? The mleft is out of control.

You missed the "j/k".

And yes, in jail for a year for a misdemeanor. You cross a liberal politician and you may never be seen alive again. He broke the law in Senator Boxer's zone of control. He may never see freedom again.

Why do you think I left California in 1993? Diane Feinstein became a Senator in 1992 and Barbara Boxer followed her in 1993. I saw the writing on the wall and skeedaddled!!!

Not so, observes constitutional attorney Dan Conaway, saying those waiting for the DMV doors to open have no choice but to listen to Mackey.

“He's creating an intimidating situation for people who simply want to get their drivers licenses renewed,” says Conaway, who says it’s OK to preach in public, but not when your listeners can’t leave.

“He does not have the right to intimidate others and force them to listen and impede their ability to do normal business activities such as going to the DMV.”

The OP is either ignorant of the law or a liar, as this issue has noting to do with religious freedom or freedom of expression. The arrest was made in good faith by law enforcement and its understanding of the law, the defendant was not arrested for ‘reading the bible.’

You automatically assume (making an ASS OUT OF YOU) that because I do not believe in mythical man in the sky, or his human son (Joseph FUCKED Mary.....Get Over It) that I am somehow a follower yet another mythical evil man who lives in the earth.

WRONG.

I do not believe in either myth.

**** Mary (Who Fucked Joseph).

I do not want, need, desire, request or require any form of any Organized Religion.

YOU do not have the Right or Purpose of Right to judge me (I think I once heard words to the effect of, "Judge Not....Lest Ye Be Judged").

Which is what I have come to expect from those hypocritical followers of MAN BORN OUT OF WEDLOCK. WHOSE MOTHER AND FATHER WERE ******* LIKE BUNNIES A LONG TIME BEFORE HE WAS BORN IN A BARN.

You go to your local Money House (Church) where some lying piece of crap who calls himself a Minister, tells you he needs your money so he can buy your way into a place that does not exist.

Then you leave that Casino, come home and in decide that you and only you can have the right to decide who is and/or is not worthy a heaven that does not exist in the first place.

**** That.

You have the Constitutionally Protected Right To Freedom of Religion. A Right That I Fought For. A Right That I Bled For. A Right I Damn Near Died For.

That does NOT give YOU the Right or Purpose of Right to Judge Me.

Go attend you weekly session of lies in name of a god that does not exist.

But at no time assume that you attend such house of lies that you have a right to judge me.

YOU DO NOT!!!!

What law says that you cannot read in public?


There has to be more to this than reading a book.

(P.S. This should be in the religion and ethics thread. It will probably get more responses there also.)

I doubt he would have been arrested if he had been reading the Communist Manifesto.

Immie

isnt that the Bible in California, they must have thought the book with gospels was an imposter and needed to be impounded.

Only among the California elite. As a California native transplanted to Florida, I can tell you that the "common" people of California are not all that different from everyone else. It is the liberal elites who want to control our lives that push the destructive manifesto. Have to keep those "common" people down and all that garbage.

They probably arrested the person to get a psych evaluation and make sure they weren't dangerous to the public. Flipping through The Script, at the DMV, shows some serious derangement.

Just a reality check here. Mackey was arrested in February. He has, unless released on bail, spent less than two months in jail, not a year.

Someone else who missed the "j/k". He probably spent no more than a couple of hours in jail. Most likely fined and sent home with a warning not to do it again.
