CALGARY, Alberta (LifeSiteNews) – Canadian Christian pastor Derek Reimer of Mission 7 Ministries will spend Easter in jail after he was arrested Tuesday for a third time in a five-week span by members of the Calgary Police Service (CPS) on charges relating to protesting drag queen story times at public libraries.
Reimer’s previous bail conditions state that he must stay at least 300 meters from LGBTQ events. Tuesday’s arrest appears to involve a slew of new charges filed under a recently enacted Calgary anti-street harassment bylaw.
Video of his third arrest was posted online by pastor Artur Pawlowski, which shows members of the CPS handcuffing Reimer and placing him in the back of a police cruiser.
A voice in the video, which is not Pawlowski, can be heard saying, “He’s so far away.”
After Reimer was handcuffed, the same voice shouted to police, “Freemason, Illuminati psychos.”
At that point, a CPS officer asked the man in the video if he wants to hold onto Reimer’s cell phone, and after taking it, said to the cop, he will be “destroyed by God’s wrath.”
