Video: Pastor Arrested For Reading The Bible

(The Blaze.com) When Mark Mackey, a member of the local Calvary Chapel, showed up to the DMV office in Hemet, CA on February 2, he had a goal: read the Bible and introduce those waiting in line to the “gospel of Jesus Christ.” And for about 15 minutes he was successful. That is until a California Highway Patrolman took the Bible from his hands, arrested him, and told him he was guilty of preaching to a “captive audience.”

And it was all caught on video: According to reports, Mackey wasn’t the only one arrested. Pastor Brett Coronado and Edmond Flores, Jr., who were accompanying him, were also taken into custody.

A press release from the group Advocates for Faith and Freedom, which is representing the men in a lawsuit, says the men were arrested for “impeding an open business” under Penal Code Section 602.1(b). But, the group calls the justification under that statue a stretch.

  1. actually this can work in our favor!

    If a Judge decides that reading the Bible to a “captive audience”, is indeed intimidation, then it would be ILLEGAL for someone (or something, or some buisness, ect…) to force me to listen to Liberal Holy Scriptures (the News, praise of the Holy Obama, pro-abortion sacred writings, faith in Obamacare, Testaments from the Religion of Liberalism, ect..) while I am at work (captive) or traveling to work (captive while in a car).

    In those cases I would indeed be “CAPTIVE” because if I tried to exit the car (or train or plane or bus) while travelling I’d probably die.

    It would also make it ILLEGAL for Teachers to indoctrinate School children (who are a “captive audience”) with the Religion[s] of Liberalism.
