Exactly. !st Amendment defense. They just preached on the street instead of on TV.

He probably would have been OK if he hadn't claimed the tickets were solid gold.

Not up on street prices, but 3.5 grams = 1/8 oz. , an "eight ball" in coke terms. Somebody around the corner was taking "tickets" to "tweaker heaven" ........

This guy's problem is that he hasn't gotten on tv yet like them. Get this man a tv show!
If they can sell prayer cloths, holy water, tell you to sow seeds and send them money for their private jets because that's what Jesus wants, and buckets of crap for hundreds or thousands of dollars to prepare for doomsday, well why can't this guy sell tickets to heaven?
