“Mackey is a reverend with Calvary Chapel Hemet, a conservative Christian church that practices an “evangelical ministry,” requiring public testimonials and Scripture readings.” He was standing outside the DMV wanting to read the Bible to the waiting crowd. Was he being intimidating, or shoving the Bible down their throat, or even being demanding? According the cop who arrested him, he was; he claimed he was preaching to a captive audience which in some world does not make it right. But hello! There will be a captive audience ANYWHERE. The crowd could have left or could have chosen not to listen. The reverend was charged with trespassing, which does not make sense for the pure fact that the DMV is a public place. Technically, the crowd of people were trespassing as well. The reverend is innocent and all charges should be dropped because they have nothing to stand on to charge him with! If it was any other religion, would it have been different? Would the cop still arrest the person, or “trespasser”? Maybe one of these days, all the unsaved people in the DMV crowd, will wish they would have listened to the reverend.
