The attorney was referencing protesters who have been picketing weekly outside John-Paul Miller’s church. Earlier this month, a confrontation involving a lawn sprinkler led to a third-degree assault and battery charge against a congregant. “I would ask that [protesters] leave the churchgoers alone,” said Long.

“These poor people are just trying to go to church on Sunday, and they’re being harassed, and they’re being put in fear,” he said. “And they’re being made not to feel comfortable trying to go to church.”
