Buzznet user panasonicyouth recounts his intense experience of being arrested at a Los Angeles protest against the passing of Proposition 8.
During the course of the events, he was also able to make a plea for help on Twitter while he was being arrested.
Read his story below and be sure to check out NowPublic's extensive coverage on this issue at: NowPublic: Response to Proposition 8
Yesterday afternoon, I attended the rally outside the Mormon temple on Santa Monica Blvd and Overland, in order to protest the Mormon church's involvement in helping to pass Proposition 8 here in California. My co-worker, Richard Flores, biked with me from the Buzznet office in Hollywood to the rally in West LA.
In the interest of avoiding any legal implications (since I do not have or have not seen a lawyer), I am not going to describe the events leading up to my arrest. Please watch the arrest video for that; I think it speaks for itself. I think it is more important to describe what happened afterwards.

Yeah they wont be satisfied till all organized religion ignores the Bible's condemnation of homosexuality as an abomination to God. Once churches are forced to marry homosexuals or be in violation of "civil rights" laws, the First Amendment will mean nothing. Marxism at its best.
