Watertown, Wisconsin, August 10, 2023 — Marcus Schroeder found himself in the spotlight over the weekend as he was arrested during a protest at the annual “Pride in the Park” event in Watertown, Wisconsin. Schroeder, a young 19-year-old street preacher from the Christian ministry group Warriors for Christ, was taken into custody by local police officers for allegedly violating a noise ordinance while using amplified sound during his demonstration.
The arrest unfolded amidst a charged atmosphere as Schroeder and fellow members of Warriors for Christ engaged in a peaceful protest outside the event grounds. Armed with a microphone and a speaker, Schroeder passionately read passages from the Bible, focusing on the principle of “loving your neighbor as yourself.” However, as Schroeder’s amplified voice echoed across the area, law enforcement officers surrounded him and confiscated his equipment, leading to his arrest.
“I was reading a passage from the Bible about love, and I was arrested. No reason, not given any warning, not told anything about my amplification needing to be turned down. I was arrested and taken into custody simply for reading the Bible on the sidewalk,” Marcus said. “As we become more and more tolerant of sexual immorality in our culture, we become more intolerant of Christian morality. The more we become intolerant of Christian morality, the more we’re going to see lawlessness in our streets.”
“I completely understand the other side. I want to understand the other side. But drag queens twerking on kids… is unacceptable, and that’s something that we have to notice as a culture,” he continued. “We can have our disagreements, but there comes a time when we have to understand that we are all going to stand before God one day, and we’re going to have to give an account for what we have done with the children in our society, the innocent minds and the children who deserve to be protected.”
In a video of the incident that quickly went viral, Schroeder is seen calmly complying with officers while his group questions their actions. The police cited a local noise ordinance prohibiting the use of amplified sound in certain public spaces, and Schroeder was subsequently charged with violating this ordinance and resisting arrest.
Jason Storms, a fellow member of the Warriors for Christ, recorded the incident and later shared it on Twitter. Storms alleged that the police were acting on orders from city leaders to arrest Schroeder and three other young individuals from their group. The arrests reportedly occurred earlier in the day when these individuals were praying and talking to event attendees inside the park.
Storms argued that the arrests infringed upon their constitutional right to free speech. He contended that Schroeder was preaching on a sidewalk across from the public event, which should have been protected speech. Storms also pointed out the irony of arresting individuals for using amplified sound while vehicles driving by with radios blaring music were not being held to the same standard.
Speaking to The Sentinel, Schroeder expressed his willingness to stand for his beliefs despite the arrest. “It was worth it. It’s actually an honor to be counted worthy to stand with the cloud of witnesses who have gone before us and been arrested for the sake of spreading Christ and his kingdom,” Schroeder stated. He further emphasized that the arrests only seemed to galvanize more people to take action in support of their cause.
Days after his arrest, Schroeder delivered a speech in front of the City Council that delved into the philosophical underpinnings of his beliefs. Standing before a small gathering, Schroeder tackled sensitive topics with conviction. In particular, he posed a provocative question: “What’s wrong with Nazism?” He argued that without a belief in the sanctity of human life rooted in a Christian worldview, it becomes challenging to articulate a moral basis for condemning ideologies like Nazism.
Expanding upon his point, Schroeder contrasted the Christian perspective with a secular worldview that denies the divine and focuses on evolutionary origins. He maintained that the concept of human worth, which forms the basis of rejecting Nazism, is intricately tied to the idea of humans being made in the image of God. Schroeder contended that a rejection of Christian morality could lead to a breakdown of societal values and an increase in lawlessness.
Drawing a link between growing societal acceptance of certain behaviors and the simultaneous decline in tolerance for traditional Christian values, Schroeder passionately asserted that this shift could foster a societal environment in which ideologies like Nazism could gain a foothold. He cited the need to protect children from influences that he deemed inappropriate, pointing to instances of drag queens performing for kids as a prime example.
The Watertown Police Department has not released an official statement regarding the incident, leaving many awaiting their response to the accusations of constitutional infringement.

Matthew 24 discusses how Christians will be persecuted for their beliefs. The perverted transvestites twerking for kiddies should be arrested for lewd conduct! We live in an asinine world. Isaiah 5:20 every fricken day too.
Satan truly has taken over this country. You had better decide, quickly and firmly, on which side you will stand. Because only one side wins in the end, and, [spoiler alert] it IS NOT Satan.
This Nation, and I stretch the very definition of that word to include what ever ‘ America ‘ is to fit within its definition, this nation is ‘ unfixable ‘. using the systems in play that supposedly allow for such .
The rest of my comment is common sense and you’ve already figured the solution out far better in your own hearts than my poor skill with the English language can ever convey.
Many police chiefs, sherrif, and mayors are corrupt. Same as the sørøs prosecutors. They are installed to push the marxist-satanist trannypedohomo agenda. They won’t back you if their is a kinetic civil war either. They will take their orders from the marxist-satanists and protect their paychecks/retirement. Brasilia is a classic example.
From FoxNews:
“A trans man asked this simple question about kids at a trans conference. He was kicked out
Medical professionals have adopted gender activists’ beliefs, Aaron Terrell says”
Terrell said he doesn’t see a happy ending to the issue and believes activists’ influence on gender-affirming health care will only end “when too many devastated young people have come forward.”
“I see a lot of destroyed families and young people,” he said.
THAT IS THE PURPOSE OF COMMUNISM, THE PURPOSE OF BIDEN, EU LEADERS (except Orban), WEF AND MUSLIM INVADERS, TO DESTROY THE CHRISTIAN FAMILY!
Another reason I don’t support rotten, spineless police officers. American police and law enforcement in general are thugs. They don’t support the people. We are civilins according to them and that separation means they have no love for us. They are worthless and dangerous. I wouldn’t piss on one if he were on fire. Pontius Pilate was the police, but he allowed Christ to be crucified anyway, just as the police today would rather shoot you than help you.
The only good news here is that we still have young people that are NOT heathens, dopers, perverts, and satanists. This young man won’t bend a knee to the satanic kabal. Very proud of him! 😇👍
