Sixteen people were arrested in the rotunda of the state Judicial Building Wednesday after refusing to leave while protesting the removal of the Ten Commandments monument.

Also, earlier the eight associate justice of the Alabama Supreme Court failed to approve a proposal to override Chief Justice Roy Moore by moving the monument to a nonpublic area of the Judicial Building.

Patrick Mahoney of the Christian Defense Coalition said the 16 were charged with trespassing and released on their own recognizance. .....

2. WOW ! Pray that those police don't have a heart attack from the
exertion....Christians showing off their GLUTTONY....


------------------------------------------
note for the non-Christians: Gluttony (excessive eating and drinking) is one of the seven deadly sins in Christian tradition.

6. Gluttony....its a sin in the Bible
somehow its OVERLOOKED by many pastors like Falwell


", repent for yielding to the temptation of lust for food. (Phil 3:19, "Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things"



I doubt that passage is read in a lot of churches.

4. Gee, considering what happened to those three nuns
Shouldn't the court send a message to other scofflaws by sending these lawbreakers to the can for the maximum? I mean, if nuns tapping on warheads with ceremonial hammers is good for several years, what is the righteous retribution for this organized gang of co-conspirators? Is there a RICO Act violation here?

5. I wonder how this will play on the radio tomorrow
Or if it will be a topic on Washington Journal in the morning? I'm guessing that there will be a lot of ticked off people in my neck of the woods.

7. Those cops are treating him too nicely.

C'mon, at least rough up Ned Flanders a little bit. They might as well fan him with palm leaves and feed him grapes. Where's a sturdy colapsable baton when you need it.

16. Be sure and remind yourself of that the next time one of these scumbags...
Hides in some bushes and picks off an abortion provider with a scope from 200 yards away. These people live by the sword, so be it if they die by it, or in this case get roughed up a tad.

13. I was thinking the same thing.
That pious old tubbo looks like a veteran of Operation Rescue.

He's certainly old enough to know how to behave.

Of course, the poor fundy Christians in this country have so few opportunities to be martyrs. Perhaps the scraped knees and the holes in his trousers will earn him his crown in heaven.

20. I don't

I just like seeing white conservatives roughed up by the police from time to time. That way they get a little taste of the medicine they so gleefully prescribe for inner city black youth.

21. Does the constitution exist any more?
Edited on Wed Aug-20-03 11:00 PM by Ein
Take away our right to protest, add in the expense nowadays of publishing materials... and we're left with 1930's Germany.

Hitler had free speech zones as well.

edit: These guys got it alot better than some anti-bush protestors that don't adhere to the free-speech zone, wonder why? hmmm.
