'Jeff Gray was holding up a sign reading "God Bless the Homeless Vets" when he was arrested for panhandling. He says he wasn't panhandling, however. The retired truck driver has been stopped, searched and arrested by the police for holding up signs in front of city halls all across the country.
The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE) has filed two lawsuits this week on behalf of Gray saying that his First Amendment rights were violated by the cities of Alpharetta and Blackshear, both in Georgia, the site said.'

(37,062 posts)Its just not Christian to help a homeless Vet. Its in the Bible, right along with abortion is bad. Thats what Jesus said. Right? Who the fuck knows whats in the Bible. Guess ya gotta consult a zealot. Praise the lord.
And, gosh, if Churchs lost their tax exempt status because they dont give a fuck about the separation of church and state, then maybe wed get a little help for homeless Vets. But then wed have to contend with the aggrieved billionaires who might be offended with the prospect of helping a homeless vet or helping anyone making less then 200,00 a year. God bless those billionaires one and all.

(3,483 posts)and repeats what the sign says, God bless the homeless Vets, in a calm voice, and NEVER asks for money or anything else, ever.
This drives people absolutely crazy for some reason, which leads to cops showing up and going crazy.
Im glad someone is going to bat for him, legally.

He intentionally says ONLY God Bless the homeless vets, and nothing else. Never asks for money. Each little town or county court house treats him differently.
If the local town cop, clerk, mayor, whoever tells him to stop, he just says the same thing over. Hes been arrested several times. Those towns look bad when they arrest him. It all goes on video.
Bless him and his videos.
