Assaulted Robbed and Arrested
John 10:10 New King James Version
"10 The
thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come
that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly."
Here are some of the headlines.. the first article is from city News 11:30
"Dorre
Love, who was arrested in connection with a violent confrontation in the West
End, is speaking out. He claims he was assaulted first when a Vancouver man,
Justin Morissette, grabbed his microphone while Love was preaching. Morissette
says two people were spreading homophobic rhetoric in the West End and that he
wanted them to stop. (Screenshot: YouTube/Dorre Love)"
"The
man accused of attacking Sportsnet 650’s Justin Morissette, who was attempting
to stop him from spreading homophobic messages, has taken to YouTube to share
his side of the story, claiming he was “assaulted” first when Morissette tried
to take his microphone away Saturday night."
"Morissette said he grabbed the microphone and refused to give it
back. It was following this that he said a man “wrenched my leg against his
until my tibia and fibula snapped, broke and my knee dislocated."
These
articles are extensive and one can read it themselves. Links below.
Unfortunately it happened. That concludes the articles with city News 11:30
above.
Now from another article
headline..
"After altercation
involving Antie gay preacher lawyer urges better enforcement of noise rules." CBC
It has also been reported in the same article by CBC that the police say there
have been multiple incidents with these street preachers in Vancouver's West
End. You know something, people complain on street preachers period. Different
street preachers have different methods and some are very effective at
preaching the gospel. But some people are worldly and despise being told that
they need to obey the God of the Bible. They despise being told that they are
sinful and they will be judged which is true. But there are other people that
accept the message with caution and gladness. Jesus Christ said I send you out
among-st wolves.
And in one of the articles it was written..
"Police have
recommended charges of aggravated assault and mischief against two men accused
of preaching anti-gay messages, after a man who asked them to stop was
assaulted." CBC
Furthermore the CBC article went on to say. "Dan Snyder, a lawyer who lives in the
neighbourhood, says the preachers are sending an "unsettling" message
in the neighbourhood known for a thriving LGBTQ community and because the
volume is so loud, thanks to their use of amplifiers, the message
is unavoidable."
"People I know, blocks
away, could hear this for hours. And this happens regularly on weekends,"
Snyder said.
"People in their houses
can hear these street preachers go on for hours and that is what's disrupting
the community."
Now as far as the CBC article goes it does tell us that a permit is required
for an amplifier in Vancouver. "Sgt. Aaron Roed, a spokesperson for the Vancouver Police
Department, said public use of an amplifier in Vancouver requires a permit, but
officers have discretion."
There are a lot of accusations being made and who knows what is true and what
is not. Charges were laid. We haven't seen the video with the evidence because
the police have taken away the video/phone/gear that the preacher/Dorre had
that day. Not sure if it would be posted at some point in time/date.
Now below is my originally notes in preparation for this blog. I don't do this
for credit myself but to let other Christians know/people what has occurred as
to draw support / prayers for all parties.
There is a street preacher Dorre Love who was arrested in Vancouver BC as a man
attacked him, took/grabbed his microphone out of his hands and it is alleged he ran off
with it. The fellow who ran off with it made an allegation that Dorre Love
attacked him. Apparently somehow he broke his leg and now he
requires a metal plate for life as reported. This fellow was huge according to
Mr. Love and went in the hospital as reported. There are news reports about such
and they have included another street preacher from Toronto named David Lynn who was arrested and released
perhaps a year ago. David's charges were dropped. He/David had nothing to do with
this incident. They are saying these street preachers spread hate speech which
is not true. That seems unfounded. It may be a matter of opinion but they
preach the gospel of the lord Jesus Christ. According to Mr. Dorre Love
the police confiscated his preaching gear such as his amplifier, his little
booth, and his phone, speakers and possibly some other items. To date we have
not seen the video that should show some evidence. But Dorre has created a
couple of updated videos about the incident/relate on his You-tube page. One is posted above.
Anyways, posted are links to some of the articles below. Now the Street
preacher was charged with various crimes as I read. I had a quick pass through
one or two of the articles which says that such street preacher were warned in
the past but little was done about it as people complained. May have been four
or five times in the past that they were cautioned by the police. As the police
must have gotten complaints from the community.
Continuing..
Apparently they/people
complained because the amplifier was loud and people did not want to hear the
preaching which they call hate speech towards the gay and lesbian communities.
(The LGBT community.) Having some understanding about music and amplifiers
including microphones it is true that amplifiers could be loud. But some
smaller amplifiers will get drowned out by the traffic and the outdoor
noises/distance Not sure about the sound bouncing off buildings. Depending on
the size of the woofer which would make a big difference including the wattage
of the amplifier. For instance a 12-in speaker is not going to be as loud as a
15-in speaker or woofer. Then you have to look at the volume loudness that a
preacher would set the amplifier at. I mean I've reviewed/seen street preachers
videos getting arrested and many times they were exonerated as a bunch of lies
were told about them. Sometimes it was unfortunate and they do have a right to
freedom of speech. The good thing is that sometimes they do have video evidence
and other people there with them to vouch for them. I believe that Street
preachers needs a permit in Vancouver and most likely in other parts of
Canada.
As a Christian believer in Christ I ask for prayers for these street preachers
as Christ clearly said that he sends them out among-st wolves. Please pray for
all parties. I am sure Dorre would appreciate support as well. You could donate financial to help him out. He does
the lords work. I am told/reading somewhere that Mr. Morissette had funds
raised for him by some fund that drew more than it was expected.
Now in the CBC article there is data/information concerning freedom of speech
and such things? They also say "Even if we disagree with what is being said, and in this case,
it is disgusting and intolerable."
That is not a pleasant remark. It depends what the message of the Gospel is. It is not one of disgusting and in-toleration. It is a message of the justice of God along with the love of sending his only begotten son to earth to be the lamb that takes away the sins of the world. What these LGBT community people that are gay or lesbians are doing is an abomination to God. That is the God of the bible/God of Israel. God tells us in his word that such sins leads to hell/judgement and that they should be forewarned. They could either accept the message or face God's coming wrath. The word of God says that he/the lord avenges those whom are persecuted for his cause and he brings judgment against those who refuse the message of repentance. In essence the street preachers are preaching the message of the coming Kingdom of the Lord Jesus Christ. The totalitarian message of the Gospel is one of love. But it is not a carnal love as God created them male and female in the beginning. As I say what they are doing/LGBT is an abomination to God and it is extremely sinful. So when they see street preachers preaching that such things are sin and actually filth to God of course they're going to be rebellious. Perhaps not all of them but people are people. They've created their own communities that are in disagreement and disobedient to their own maker. All that Christian’s preachers can do is preach the gospel. Many times the street preachers tell such people that are gay or lesbians that they love them. Just before the Lord Jesus Christ drew his last breath on the cross he said "father forgive them for they know not what they do." Nailed to a cross he/Christ still had love for people that hated him and many yelled persecute him. He died for the sins of the world and as it is written he loved us first. There is no greater love than a man laying down his life for others. That is what is written.
Back to the CBC article..
"Roed said the men did
not have a permit for their amplifier and a possible noise infraction could
be part of the investigation." No charges for noise appear to be laid prior.
"Dorre Love, in a
YouTube video, said he was one of the preachers involved in Saturday's
confrontation."
"I was assaulted," Love said in the video. "A gentleman took my mic out of my hands and tried to
get away with it."
In conclusion..
So Dorre Love the street preacher says that he was attacked and his microphone
was pulled out of his hands which is assault. The other fella Justin Morissette
says that he was attacked. Arrest/(s) were made. And now you have a street
preacher facing charges and he is forbidden or should I say restricted from
preaching in parts of Vancouver. He doesn't have his equipment and that is his
job which is his bread and butter. The other fella has injuries which is
unfortunate as well. It would be nice if we could see the video of that day
which would show the alleged assault.
In the meanwhile I would
ask for prayers for both men and for all involved including the mayor and the
police/Justine Trudeau as well. It has been reported that Justin Trudeau came
out with a message of comfort for the fella Justine who broke his leg. Dorre
may have felt hurt by such but said he loves Mr. Trudeau. Reason being is he
holds that he is innocent and being falsely accused and the other person is
playing the victim.
This is unfortunate and
why don't people walk away when they don't agree and not take things into their
own hands. Grabbing a microphone out of someone’s hands is assault. It is
wrong. Making a complaint is proper but not always justified. I have heard in another
video Mr. Love be cooperative and turn down the amplifier. I am sorry to have
heard about this. May this be resolved well for all parties?
