Svochak was sharing the gospel near the American airlines Center when he was pushed and surrounded by protesters, who tore up his sandwich board with anti-abortion messages and blocked his passage. Despite attempts to move away, the protesters continued to encircle and shove him, with some shoving him to the ground under the order of thier leader.Police arrested two Antifa-affiliated individuals, Hunter Holmes and Adrian Garcia, for obstructing traffic and assault, respectively. The group involved, the Community Liberation Brigade, is an offshoot of the now disbanded Elm Fork John Brown Gun Club, which previously targeted an ICE detention center. Svochak stated that he preaches openly and unabashedly about his religious beliefs, including messages about hell and morality, which he believes provokes hostility from opponents.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>A Christian evangelist was attacked by multiple Antifa offshoot members while he was preaching outside of the Republican National Midterm Convention.<\/p>\n<p>Chris Svochak and four others were proclaiming the gospel near the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas, where the high-profile event was held, when he was shoved by the Antifa thugs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou love your sin.
