Man Arrested Outside Calif. DMV for Reading His Bible Out Loud

When Mark Mackey, a member of the local Calvary Chapel, showed up to the DMV office in Hemet, CA on February 2, he had a goal: read the Bible and introduce those waiting in line to the “gospel of Jesus Christ.” And for about 15 minutes he was successful. That is until a California Highway Patrolman took the Bible from his hands, arrested him, and told him he was guilty of preaching to a “captive audience.”
And it was all caught on video:
It seems like this kind of rights violations are happening more and more lately. We have seen the Dearborn police arrest Christians for speaking at the Arab "Muslim" Festival. It's good to see that these Christians are taking a stand and fighting back with lawsuits against these illegal arrests. This happened because this man was reading from the Bible. If this man was saying anything other then Gods Word nothing would have happened. Maybe Christians from all around can stand outside the police station that took this mans rights away and read the Bible,Quaran or whatever. Let them arrest. Christians need to do the same at the Arab Festival as well. Take a stand. And when they arrest the Christians sue them. I'm sure a city like Dearborn can afford to lose millions because they keep arresting Christians for speaking in a public place at a public event. Peaceful resistance,like Gondhi used works great in this situations.
