Risking his life for eighteen years as a firefighter, Ronnie Edwards has prayed at every emergency scene. His actions have earned him the title of the “Praying Fireman” and those he works alongside admire and support his work ethic and his noble prayer habit. This habit of prayer has landed him in jail for 30 days.
The new mayor of DeQuincy, Lawana Jones is the “first democratic mayor in its history, an African American”, is an atheist, and has taken exception to Edwards prayer life. When she learned of Edwards praying at fires, she decided to do something about it. Sending a memo to all city employees, she told them that “any expression of personal religious belief while on duty was a violation of their contract with the city.”
Ronnie Edwards chose to keep up his prayer vigil as he believes that he must do what Jesus asks of him and not cave to the whims of an atheist mayor.

Evil is taking over. Jesus well be back soon to clean all corruption of the earth and gather his people.

What a crock y’all are dead wrong
The Constitution does not call for a separation of church and state. The only thing it says is that the state can not force any religion on the people. They can not make an official state, or federal religion. It also says the gov has no control over religion, how, when or why we practice as long as we do not hurt other people (no human sacrifices ) The gov has no right to interfere with a mans religion for any reason. Bet if it was a Muslim, they would fight for his right to pray 10 times a day.
You can always depose thus mayor. That is what you do to dictators! Shame on this city!
How wrong is this? And Hillary and Obama are walking around free.
BLM
If they were Muslims it would ok in this crazy time
i think he should be fired for delaying fighting the fire and endangering the victims, but jail! no, that is obviously wrong and gov out of control. the mayor should also be fired.
