1. Once again a storyline is twisted
to make somebody(s) look like poor downtrodden victims of "the system".

They weren't arrested for preaching like they claim.

They were arrested because they were told to stop and they refused, and they also refused to leave the premises.

2. Well, I doubt if that one will get very far.
There was a similar case IIRC which involved people waiting in line for jury duty. Sorry Christians, but people who are compelled by the government to be at a particular place are not your de facto congregation.

3. In a better world, the state of California would sue these assholes
for not letting them issue drivers licenses in their church.
