Angry Pro-SSM Protestors Storm Podium in Providence

 

Most of the media ignored what actually happened, but this NBC video captures the truth.

Police stood by as protestors stormed the podium, surrounded Brian Brown and tried to prevent him from speaking. Only Brian's grace under fire, and the law-abiding, prayerful, and peaceful crowd prevented this from turning even more ugly.

    These guys need to get a grip. Imagine getting a permit and trying to make a presentation then having your speech blocked. People in the face of the speaker. Imagine the president gives a speech and some protesters try to get up in his face. You think police are just going to look the other way? This is not how to protest, its a disgrace to the gay movement. There is not justification for this type of behavior. There is nothing civil about this protest at all except that the way that Brian reacted at the moment with control.
    If the gays wanted to protest, they shouldn't be hijacking other people's permits.

    You're right Adam. Peaceful protests are allowed by law and that's what makes American great. This kind of "stuff" is what they do over in Europe, just totally reckless and out of control. Next they'll start flipping cars over and start buildings on fire, just short of being terrorist! You'd expect this from children who will have tantrums when they don't get what their want, not from supposed superior intellect adults, or so "they say." This is all regardless of what side you're on. If NOM acted like this at a SSM rally, I'd expect that no one would be supporting them at all!

    This shows you how far the homosexual agenda is willing to go to attack religious freedom..

    Looking at these videos I can't help but think about the misguided decision of the APA to declare homosexuals sane. That political decision has been disastrous for homosexuals who believe they are sane, and thus see no need to seek psychiatric help. It has also been disastrous for the society at large because of the resulting homosexual extremism aggressively legitimizing and promoting homosexuality. Homosexual "marriage" today, legal sodomy of minors tomorrow. Instead of getting professional help, homosexuals are trying to force our society to cater to and promote their deviant lifestyle.

    Don't hijack other peoples' rights and behavior will become much more civil!

    anyone who knows the Bible knows that in the book of James it clearly states that 'he who holds these truths to be Law yet stumbles upon just one is guilty of breaking them All! I see no other way to interperate this than to be.... whethe...r you steal a candy bar, cheat on a test, or a spouse, gossip about your neighbor, live with a sinner (as we most do) get your ears pierced, pierced your child's ears, or be a guy who loves a guy, if you have sinned ANY sin, you have sinned them ALL! that puts us ALL on an even playing field! unless you are mighty and proud enough to stand up and say that YOU are without sin, I really see no need for you to say anything at all. So I find it very offending and quite frankly 'disgusting', that my God, Lord and Savior(of my sins), the epiphany of LOVE and MERCY would be dragged into such an ugly display of hatred and biased opinions! I tell you now with confidence in my heart that our Lord is looking down upon you and shaking His Mighty Head and saying 'WHEN ARE THEY GONNA GET IT'???? how many times Do we have to be told by the Lord to love and accept one another ? why do we find it so hard to OBEY these commands? is it because our 'preacher' who is there for the church, which was built for religion that was created by 'man' told us NOT to accept those who are 'not like us'? think long and hard about this people. why is it so easy for us to believe what we see in the media? but yet so hard for us to believe the TRUTH? IS IT BECAUSE IT IS EASIER TO 'HATE' LIKE THE PREACHER SAYS THAN IT IS TO 'LOVE' LIKE THE LORD HAS COMMANDED???
    7 Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. 8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. 9 This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. 10 This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. 11 Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. 12 No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us. I John 4 7-12 So much love in the book of 1 John, what a good way to bring in the new year, with a new determination to love one another, because He first loved us! What a beautiful revelation! This is obediance in its purest form! I CHOOSE TO OBEY THE LORD ♥ * ♥

    lol are you kidding?? with all the broken marriages, deadbeat dads, parents on drugs, teenage pregnancies, etc etc that are destroying our youth, you think a couple of gays getting married and loving one another is going to hurt our kids??...? C'MON! Women, ......leave your abusive, addicted, and deadbeat Men and teach our little girls that we are something to be honored and cherished and that they should NEVER accept ANYTHING LESS and then you can get on your soapbox about how gay marriage is going to hurt my kids!!! but if you yourselves are part of the problem DONT point the blame somewhere else! HETEROSEXUALS have destroyed the sanctity of marriage...NOT the gays!!
