The ACLU has pulled many punishes to arrive at this situation. Regardless of the situation- Jesus needs to be withness. His return is very imminent.

Are you telling me I can't stand on a street corner in AMERICA and tell people about Jesus without a permit? ![[mad2]](graemlins/mad2.gif)
Freedom of Speech is becoming a thing of the past.
I am so ready for Jesus to come and take us home.

They weren't being persecuted because of their religious beliefs; anyone saying anything on a street corner would have been brought in. Free speech does not always apply in a public forum; for instance, when a friend of mine organized a protest in a square with some fountasins (which took up very little space) he first obtained a permit. You need a permit to speak in public, especially on someplace like a street corner, and if you're going to do something borderline obnoxious.

Kansas City: Husband and wife arrested for preaching to get brand new trial
ADF attorneys to defend Christian couple arrested and charged with trespassing and disorderly conduct Tuesday, June 20, 2006, 9:34 AM (MST)
Quote:
It’s hard to believe that we’ve come to a point in our country where Christians are arrested for sharing the Gospel on a public street corner,” said ADF Litigation Counsel David LaPlante.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Attorneys with the Alliance Defense Fund are defending a husband and wife arrested while preaching on the corner of a city block in downtown Kansas City. After ADF filed an appeal regarding the charges brought against the couple, the court granted a brand new trial in the case.
“Religious speech is not second-class speech, and Christians should not be arrested for exercising their First Amendment rights,” said ADF Litigation Counsel David LaPlante. “Unfortunately in this case, a Christian husband and wife were arrested for trespassing and disorderly conduct for sharing the Gospel in a public place.”
Michael and Joy Wheeler spent a night in jail after being arrested at the Kansas City Area Transit Authority’s Transit Plaza on the corner of 10th and Main streets. A municipal court denied ADF’s motion to dismiss the case, but upon appeal the Wheelers were granted a brand new trial.
