PENNSYLVANIA, WHERE EVERYTHING CHRISTIAN CAN BE A HATE CRIME

I am not a practicing Christian, and I guess I'm supposed to stand around accept the rape of Christians preaching the Gospel in Pennsylvania without saying anything. Talk about an MSM blackout, this news appears nowhere except HERE:

It is a story that has the Christian community on the edge of its seat. In Philadelphia, 11 Christians were arrested and charged under Pennsylvania’s hate crimes law (the Ethnic Intimidation Act), for preaching the Gospel. The arrests took place at a homosexual event last October, and five of the 11 still face serious criminal charges.

Twenty-five-year-old Michael Marcavage is at the center of a case that could determine whether preaching the Gospel is a hate crime; specifically, whether preaching against homosexuality is a hate crime.

Also arrested but then let go were three old ladies, who were cuffed and placed in the paddy wagon along with Marcavage.

Marcavage is seen on the video questioning police about his First Amendment rights. Later, he and the others are led away from the crowd, handcuffed, and put into a paddy wagon and taken to jail. Once behind bars, Marcavage discovered just how serious the charges were: three felonies and five misdemeanors. The felonies include: ethnic intimidation and inciting a riot found under Pennsylvania’s hate crimes law. The charges could mean 47 years in prison, if convicted.

A few local Conservative groups are rallying around Marcavage and his fellow felons, but apparently the local DA is on a crusade against anyone who dares criticize homosexuals. Many are trying to change the language of the Hate Crime law but

Such a change, however, is unlikely as long as Gov. Ed Rendell, a Democrat who has supported health benefits for same-sex domestic partners and other pro-gay political matters, is in office.

A Google search will reveal a few stories, mostly in small metro dailies and the Christian Press.
