Let me begin this by saying that I have no objection to gay people, but I hate double standards.

Apparently the people being escorted by the police are Christians who were threatened by this group of people angered by the passing of prop. 8.

Read the description for more of the story.

Now, I live in an area where a fair number of protests take place. People shout at each other. Occasionally, someone goes too far, and gets arrested. If the story told in the video's description is at all to be believed, the people under police protection were holding a fairly peaceful protest, yet the reaction too it was huge and unreasonable.

I've seen people protesting gay marriage, the war, religion, and a couple other things, and usually the protesters are the loudest. I've never seen a protest end like this. Yet, the person who showed me this video thought it was justified because all Christians 'are hateful bigots.'

What do you people think? Is the harassment of people to the point where a ton of cops have to intervene allowable merely because you don't like the people?

Personally, I think that if a bunch of people had done this to gay protesters, they'd all have been slapped with lawsuit saying that they had committed hate crimes.

Who'd ever think you'd go and end up...

Prop 8 is gay, hurray?

Yay for people who can't be bothered to pay attention to the actual post.

You wouldn't even believe the amount of Christian persecution there is in the world.

I can well believe it. I've been on the wrong side of the Westboro Baptist Church before. When I was though, no one threatened them in the way that these people were threatened. And if you've heard of Westboro, you know that the protesters are extremely obnoxious, in this particular case, the protesters appear to have been mainly peaceful.

It really upsets me as a Christian.
Mainly because everyone sees what WE do wrong, and hardly any of what we do right. Everyone sees us as a threat. Which is so untrue.

Oh. Ha. I think I misread your first post then.

I agree with you. People who think that Christians somehow deserve anything they get merely because they are Christians are idiots.  No one should be threatened to the point where police have to intervene.
