Berks County District Attorney John T. Adams has withdrawn charges against a man who was arrested when he arrived to preach Christianity at a city LGBT pride event in Reading, Pennsylvania.
“There was insufficient evidence that would warrant a charge of disorderly conduct, and, quite frankly, when you consider all the nuances of the First Amendment, freedom of speech, we also believe that under the facts and circumstances, it was not appropriate for charges to be filed as a result of this incident,” Adams told The Epoch Times. “I think that the officer was trying to prevent a disturbance from occurring. At the point that he interceded, a crime had not occurred.”
