Once again, this is off-topic. The discussion is about Muslims in the United States.

Was this a parade or a fair?

Was anyone prevented from doing anything by these Christians?

Did they shout anything (not that it would be illegal to do that)?

Did they provoke a riot?

The first duty of that police officer is to obey the highest law in the nation.

It would seem that Mr Wood is trying to say this. Unfortunately for him, it's not true, as other Christians who didn't try to disrupt the festival were quite free to distribute literature and to talk with the festival's attendees.

The highest law in the nation was obeyed.

Mr Wood's was accosting people, was being provocative. Otherwise he would not have drawn a crowd. Otherwise he would not have drawn the attention of the police officers. Otherwise the other Christian organizations that were represented wouldn't have been critical of Mr Wood's "in-your-face" approach (a direct quote from another Christian who was there handing out literature). Why should Mr Woods be getting in people's faces about Christianity? I don't like it when people get in my face. It's clear you don't like it when people get in your face. If Mr Woods stayed out of people's faces, maybe he wouldn't have been arrested?

Christians were not allowed to distribute information. The video shows the police stopping them. Which lies are you talking about here?
There is a Christian group that has distributed their literature inside the festival grounds for something like 5 years now. The difference is they did it in the area designated by the festival distributing literature of all kinds (not just Christian).

There is a current court case about how far the restrictions can extend around the parameter of the festival. In that case the right of the festival to control distribution within the festival itself was reaffirmed.

You think if they ever get the upper hand that these kind of things will not happen here? One would be a fool not to think so.

While the OP is not as drastic it clearly points to what can and will happen when Muslims get the slightest control.
