breached a Minnesota church

They walked in through the front door and sat down. I'm so sick of the propaganda.

    Justice Department officials immediately, and publicly, asserted that he would face charges. They said Lemon did not have a right to be on the church’s private property, adding that interrupting the service may have impeded in the churchgoers’ constitutional rights to express their religion.

    Good thing the first amendment isn't there to protect Americans against journalists.
