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.

Totally unconscionable!!!!
How the he’ll do you get 30 days for praying this country is fucked up
This is how obumer will call martial law when the people stand up and come after these people
Everyone can pray.
Praying for you
Is this for real? I’ll have to do some research.
Keep praying to god. Rag heads can pray anytime anywhere they want to and nothing is said about it because Obama is a rag head that’s why
Seeing as the mayor of DeQuincy Louisiana is Lawrence Henagan, a middle aged bald white guy, and NOT Lawana Jones, an atheist African American, this story is deemed not true. http://www.dequincy.org/app-team/firstname-lastname
God Bless and keep praying. How come the Muslims need prayer breaks and praying is ok total BS.
It’s not true. The mayor of DeQuincy is a balding white guy, not an atheist African American female. http://www.dequincy.org/app-team/firstname-lastname
