May 26 - Operation Save America turned heads as they walked down Main Street in downtown Hutchinson. But school officials say when they approached students in a park they went one step too far.

It was a sight down Main Street. People walking with live animals in tow.

"Couple of young guys. One of them had a really weird looking horn. I saw one guy was leading a horse and a mule," says Vaden Doherty, a Hutchinson resident.

The eleven people in the group are crossing the country condemning abortion, homosexuality, and Islam. Police say they stopped in Avenue Park, where Avenue Elementary school kids were having a picnic. It started innocently enough until the conversation went south.

"As soon as I got the "J" word out it was Katie bar the doors. You don't have to run away from Jesus," said Rev. Flip Benham from Operation Save America.

School officials say it wasn't talk of Jesus that forced them to call the police. They say the group made anti-catholic statements to the students. Many of those kids are catholic and were very upset. Police say the group was also violating a city ordinance.

"You can't have a motorvehicle, not in a public park such as Avenue Park," says Capt. Dave Higdon from the Hutchinson police.

Police say they didn't cite the group for any violations. But many in Hutchinson question whether the group went too far.

"I think if they have an agenda they need to be careful about where they're doing it."

Meanwhile, OSA is leaving Hutchinson and heading Southeast.

"This is our halfway point. We've got an appointment to keep with Dr. Tiller in Wichita on Memorial Day."

The school will have counselors on hand Wednesday to discuss the incident with students.
