Christian Arrested While Picketing Sees His Conviction As Sign of the TimesAgapePress) - A federal district judge in Washington, DC, has upheld the arrest of Christian activist Reverend Pat Mahoney, who claims his only crime was an association with the Ten Commandments. He says he couldn't believe the federal judge's decision.
In this latest case, the Christian activist notes, "I was arrested on a public sidewalk, three years ago, for holding a sign [bearing an inscription] of the Ten Commandments." He says the United States marshal who accosted him that day told him "Reverend Mahoney, you can be here. You just can't hold that sign."
Since Mahoney chose not to surrender his sign, he says he was taken into custody. However, he contends his arrest was a blatant violation of his constitutional rights, since "I was arrested not for my conduct but for my beliefs."FULL STORY at
