Journalists Arrested In Ferguson For Doing Their Job


Last August after protests followed Michael Brown’s murder, 19 journalists were arrested, according to the Freedom of the Press Foundation.

 Others were harassed, threatened, tear gassed, pepper sprayed and abused by other brutal police tactics.

Authorities wanted journalists confined to a restricted area away from protests – to prevent their reporting on police brutality. Homeland Security operatives were involved.

 In a news conference, Obama lied saying:

“Let me be clear that our constitutional rights to speak freely, to assemble, and to report in the press must be vigilantly safeguarded, especially in moments like these.”

He prosecuted more whistleblowers of government wrongdoing than all his predecessors combined.

He targets journalists for doing their job.

This is a war. This is war on free speech. What are we going to do? Are we going to surrender to these monsters? Two men with rifles and backpacks attacked police outside our event. A cop was shot; his injuries are not life-threatening, thank G-d. Please keep him in your prayers. The bomb squad has been called to the event site to investigate a backpack left at the event site.

The First Amendment was never intended as a means to make a hero the villain nor murderers the victims…or so we thought. The First Amendment guarantees 'We the People' numerous freedoms including freedom of religion, expression, and assembly…that is until the hero…and my personal hero…was Pamela Geller and the 'supposed' victims were Muslim…or more specifically Muslim Islamic terrorists.

Virginia: First Amendment Victory For Church As Officials Back Off 




The congregation of Harrisonburg, Virginia’s Valley Church of Christ decided to promote its pro-life views by hanging two posters on its fence on the corner of Virginia Avenue and Acorn Drive. One poster showed a fetus cradled in a pair of hands with this quote from Mother Teresa: “It is a poverty to decide that a child must die so that you may live as you wish.”

The second one pictured a face of a baby and this quote from Jeremiah 1:5: “Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you.”

It didn’t take long before someone took umbrage at the message, and complained to the city.
