Not much to make fun of here
, but I found this
article rather amusing, and right up my “alligator alley.” -(FL)(Pics too!)
{-Just some background, they need 612,000 signatures by July 12th to get on the '08 ballot, as of March they still needed 155,000. How ironic if they came 500 sigs short.}
"On Saturday, June 3rd, as they were distributing petitions related to this marriage amendment, City of Sunrise police officers approached the volunteers and demanded that they remove the petitions from public view,"
The officer, he said, started haranguing him, not about any law or ordinance, but about theology and his personal views on gay marriage.
"He said that Jesus never mentioned homosexuality in the New Testament --which is not exactly accurate," Stemberger said. "He went on and on talking about theology."
"not exactly accurate"
-Exsqueeze me, I baking powder? We are talking about the Jesus in the Bible aren't we?
"So I went back to the table and put all the petitions back on the table with the clipboards.
"He said, 'You remove them immediately, or I will arrest you.' And I said, 'Sir, you're going to have to arrest me because you're acting without authority.' "
Stemberger said the 45-minute incident finally ended without arrests or further complications after an administrator from the civic center showed up and confronted the officer, telling him to stand down.
Now, I have to side with “them” on this one. But they included the chief of police’s email in the article so I made sure to send them a big kudos for my ego’s sake, (even though they were wrong).
BEWARE: Citizen Link email address included as one of the recipients!
