Street Preachers Discriminated Against and Arrested for Preaching at Princeton Train Station

TRENTON, N.J. — Attorneys for The Rutherford Institute are planning to appeal the dismissal of a First Amendment lawsuit involving two street preachers who were charged with trespass and obstruction of justice and arrested for allegedly refusing police orders to cease proselytizing at a Princeton train station.

In coming to the defense of evangelical preachers Don Karns and Robert Parker, Rutherford Institute attorneys are challenging as discriminatory an alleged policy by the New Jersey Transit Corporation (NJTC), enforced by the NJTC police, that requires religious speakers to acquire a permit in order to engage in non-commercial speech at the station while waiving the requirement for political speakers.

I'm someone who thinks that well educated and informed people will come to their own conclusions given the evidence and facts and don't need to be preached at in public places, particularly as a captive audience waiting for their train.
Those who actually do want to be preached to can always go find a preacher of their own choice in their own time. lain:

I wouldn't dream of annoying those simply trying to go about their daily commute with my own personal beliefs. If I ever do then I give permission to anyone who wants to pelt me with tomatoes.

Perfect example of how much liberals respect the Constitution.
They'd try to roll over the whole thing if you gave them a matchbox car.

I'm not even going to post the several videos I've seen of different varieties of liberals trying to hem protesters up on a 'permit' tattle tale thing (and failing)
