When it comes to Preacher Paul’s three criminal charges that are against him, two will fail, the other one will likely go through and he will be charged for this. The charge that he will end up being charged for is the violation of a noise ordinance that makes it a crime to yell religious epithets in the downtown area between the hours of noon and 1 PM.

Disturbing the peace rules generally tend to affect people protesting during night time hours, and in the state of Arizona, you are technically disturbing the peace if the person is disturbing the peace of a quiet neighborhood, engaging in fighting, creating violent or seriously disruptive behavior, unreasonable noise, abusive or offensive language/gestures that could invoke violence, refusing to obey a law, or using a dangerous weapon.

While Joe Gymrat may have a different argument that the words were offensive, a general court and jury would not hold these works offensive enough for violence, as they would have to be fighting words. Therefore, Paul is not disturbing the peace and cannot be charged for

California, in 1931, was seen as a violation of the First Amendment after Stromberg was arrested for displaying a red flag as a sign of resistance against the government. This was the first declaration that symbolic speech is protected under the First Amendment (“Timeline of Flag...”). In 1943, the issue of a law requiring people to salute the flag was raised in the West Virginia v. Barnett court case. In this case, the importance of freedom of expression under the First Amendment was highlighted by Justice Jackson (“Supreme Court Cases”). In 1969, Street v New York it was decided that no state is able to convict a person based on verbal comments insulting the flag. Street was arrested after burning the flag and yelling “we don’t need no damn flag” into the crowd. Instead of focusing on the burning of the flag and deciding whether or not it is protected under the First Amendment they focused on Street’s oral remarks (“Timeline of
