On December 11, after a
very successful pro-life picket in Sauk City, WCU conducted an
"anti-homosexuality" picket in Black Earth at the very strategic
intersection of Hwy. 78 and Hwy. 14. During our picket, the owner of the
Shoe Box, a nearby shoe store, spent much time harassing, mocking, and
railing at us. Several female Dane County sheriff's deputies who came to
the scene did their level best to coerce and threaten us into clearing out
as well. Those gals were joined by the "Christian" Black Earth
village president, another lady, who insisted that her town be swept clean
of our biblical witness. As our picket was entirely lawful and perfectly
safe, we repeatedly declined to relinquish our religious liberty. This
caused the lady cops no end of frustration and reduced the village
president to mocking us as she left in a huff. In the midst of the
skirmishes with the police and the store owner, an area citizen rode up on
a motorcycle to tell us how much he appreciated our witness. He ended up
standing with us until the end of the picket. |
