A Sentence Which is Blatantly Unjust

This from the National Catholic Register:

Sometimes, it’s very hard not to think the world has turned completely upside down.

Watch this unbelievable video showing Black Baptist pastor Walter Hoye peacefully demonstrating outside and Oakland, CA abortion clinic. Rev. Hoye is an African-American pastor who feels a special calling to work for the end of the genocide-by-abortion taking place in the African-American community. As part of his efforts, he stands in front of an abortion clinic in Oakland with leaflets offering abortion alternatives and a sign reading, “Jesus loves you and your baby. Let us help.”

Rev Hoye was arrested under a newly passed law in CA and now sits in and Oakland jail.

Despite the video tape the defense presented at trial showing that prosecution witnesses conjured up phantom patients whom Rev. Hoye had allegedly harassed, as well as claiming that he threatened two escorts and the clinic director, the jury rendered the guilty verdict.

As you can see in the video, abortion worker escorts make an astounding and illegal effort to block Rev Hoye's message, his first amendment rights and his simple message "Jesus loves you and your baby. Let us help.":



You can see the two abortion escorts (in the orange bibs) that Rev. Hoye 'threatened.'

From the Voice magazine.com:

At a hearing on February 19, Judge Hing stated that he had not intended to impose any fine or jail time on Hoye if he would agree to stay away from the abortion clinic. After Hoye refused to agree not to offer alternatives to abortion-minded women, Judge Hing imposed a 30-day sentence and $1130 fine.Dozens in the African-American and pro-life communities from around the nation who came out in support of Pastor Hoye were outraged by the sentence.

The consensus of these leaders is that it was a travesty that Pastor Hoye was found guilty in the first place for standing in the gap for black children targeted by the abortion industry."It is absolutely incredible that in America an individual can be sentenced to jail for engaging in peaceful free speech activity on a public sidewalk," remarked Allison Aranda, Staff Counsel for Life Legal Defense Foundation. Aranda further stated, "Rev. Hoye is being singled out for particularly harsh punishment because he refused to agree not to offer help to women considering abortion.

Pray for Rev. Hoye
