PAGANS, RELIGION AND THE LAW

It's Illegal to Disrupt a Pagan Ritual or “religious assembly”


State law in North Carolina forbids anyone -- including "Christian" protestors -- from disrupting or interfering with a religious service or assembly. That means any protestor who shows up at a Witches' ritual or any “religious assembly”, as the law states without clarification as to exactly what constitutes a “religious assembly” and shouts Bible verses, sings hymns, proselytizes, or in any other way harasses or intimidates people attending the rite WILL BE SUBJECT TO ARREST & PROSECUTION.

The law reads as follows:

North Carolina General Statutes:

14-288.4. Disorderly conduct.

(a) Disorderly conduct is a public disturbance
intentionally caused by any person who:


(7) Disrupts, disturbs, or interferes with a religious
service or assembly or engages in conduct which
disturbs the peace or order at any religious
service or assembly.

(b) Any person who willfully engages in disorderly conduct is
guilty of a Class 2 misdemeanor.

(a) (2) may also apply, regarding any person who:

Makes or uses any utterance, gesture, display or abusive language which is intended and plainly likely to provoke violent retaliation and thereby cause a breach of the peace.
