Video: Man Pulled Over By Fresno Police for Wearing No On 8 Button

“Last Sunday (November 2) Drew Stoeckel went to Cornerstone Church, a large conservative congregation that helped organize a Yes on 8 rally in Fresno, to see what they would talk about. Jim Franklin, the pastor at Cornerstone said that he and mayor Alan Autry had received death threats because they support proposition 8. Both were speakers at the Yes on 8 rally held at Fresno City Hall on Sunday, October 26. There were rumors that Pastor Franklin was going to encourage his congregation to disrupt the No on 8 rally at Fresno City Hall, planned for later in the day. Drew became the object of unwanted attention by Cornerstone security and the Fresno Police Department, apparently because he had a No on 8 button on his shirt.”

1. Ya know,

All these people claiming they're getting death threats because they support the "Yes on (H)8" side are just attention whores.

It's THEIR side that always, always, always resort to the violence/death/rape threats against those who disagree with them.

Pathetic losers.
