We Have the Right to Assemble and Freedom of Religion - Unlawful Arrest of Preacher

Looks like some of our government officials haven't read the Constitution.

There are exceptions.

Will they make exceptions for the Radical Muslims in a few weeks when their annual Ramadam bullshit comes down?

Of course the exceptions don't apply to Muslims. Why that would be wacist.

Oh they never do, never. Muslims are brown-skinned, they're "diverse" and wear cool clothing.

That's all it takes for most simpleton Leftists to drool all over them.

Did you actually just sit on this board and post "Muslims are brown-skinned"????

Wait wait --- and then immediately follow that sweeping non sequitur generalization with "they're diverse"??

Holy SHIT that just took over first place for stupidest post in recent memory.
Oh no, I gotta bookmark this shit.Ho

You entirely missed that I'm citing reasons WHY BRAIN-DEAD LEFTIST LOVE MUSLIMS but go ahead Pogo knock yourself out

I don't know anyone who is 'brain dead' but as a 'leftist' I no more love or hate Muslims than I do Christians or Jews.

And I expect Americans- regardless of whether they are Muslim, Jewish or Christian or atheists to follow the law and do what they can to protect everyone.

That's what all the Nazis said at the Nuremburg Trials--they were just "following the law", just following orders

The law, "orders" should be questioned. Does anyone at all remember when so-called liberals weren't mindless drones just following whatever orders are handed down?

How can you possibly compare our social distancing Orders to Nazis who systematically gassed/worked to death millions of people they didn't like?
That's going to far, in my book.

Kind of an understatement, no?

I'm trying not to be arrogant, condescending, annoying and insensitive to others' feelings. And I see I used the wrong too. Gotta run.

They don't care.

You got any more uplifting messages for me? I'm about on the edge of a breakdown as it is.

We abide by and don’t hide behind the Constitution.
Right now I’m not all worked up about assembling. Maybe I should be but like the guns it’s not my priority. I do think it’s an overreaction but I don’t mind not being elbow to elbow. Maybe start with every other chair at casinos and work it from there

The problem is that people are contagious before they become symptomatic. So they go a few days later from the casino or church to the grocery store where they mix with people who are taking sensible precautions and may be themselves or have family members in their household who are at a higher risk of severe infection. No one has a right to deliberately put others at risk for the sake of their slots or Jesus fix. Grow up!

We are always at risk from contaigents. Communicable has in its root commune or community. We are a social spieces who gather together not for the common good but common good is a result, Government is interceding with that and quashing our individual choices and liberties.
You libbies Love to portray the false notion that one infected person who gets within 6 feet of 100 people will infect all 100
There is no evidence of that and in fact stats are conveniently not being kept regarding many issues of the non infected.

Bullshit!
Grow up, idiot.

Cartoons dont decide my life for me

Too dumb to understand.
You're a piece of shit.

Watch out pussy. We might have to decide on a place to meet where you can further display your emotional name calling due to lack of facts and mental control.

OH GOODY----FIGHT IN THE BACK PARKING LOT!!!!

 

[OldLady]

Anyone who knows anything about this scumbag, Rodney Howard-Brown, knows he should be committed just as much as he should be arrested. And not for staying open during this pandemic so he could hustle more money out of his sheep. He's a fucking loon and a scam artist, not a pastor.

There are too many of those. But we are not arguing people. We are arguing principles of law, hello

The law is being laid down.....in most states i think....but if people had any common sense no law would be required....only stupid people want to participate in big gatherings in these times.

the scientist who actually know wtf they are talking about are saying BEST CASE SCENARIO is 100,000 - 240,000 people will be dead within a couple weeks if all 50 states shelter in place. but suzie thinks that shouldn't matter & those souls dying shouldn't matter.

Yeah but you drive a car will be Sue's response.

Well, she might be thinking of Crixus....

The point being, because he is a scam artist bilking witless followers out of everything he can get, religious freedoms shouldn't apply to him. This is a manufactured stink, not a real one.

You want to get your knickers in a bunch? Piss and moan about De Blasio threatening to permanently shutter synagogues and churches that hold services. That's something worth discussing, this Howard-Brown shit stain getting arrested isn't worth the bandwidth.

 

[ABikerSailor]

The governor issued an order banning large groups of people gathering together. That was done for safety, and is a temporary, not permanent thing. The preacher held services (gathered together a large group), which was against the temporary law issued by the governor. Of course he should have been locked up.

Here in Amarillo, we now have a shelter in place mandate going on, and if there are groups out there of more than 3 people, the police will tell them to move along. Saw it happen already.

Also, given that the church deliberately provoked this conflict, it definitely doesn't meet the definition of "persecution", and the pastor and his attendees are no kind of "heroes" or "martyrs".

It wasn't the church that tried to illegally shut down the government. It was the government that tried to illegally shut down the church, in blatant and inexcusable violation of the First Amendment. It was government that manufactured a fake crisis, and then tried to use it as an excuse to trash the Constitution.

Congregating at the church was not the only option. They could have performed their services online.

Not everyone has online access you know.

Computers are limited ,they have not yet found a way to deliver smell waves, so that the congregants can smell the incense. And how will snake handling denominations going to reproduce that experience online

the preacher already has a TV program.

the police said the begged him not to hold the crowded service

the stupid ass bible thumping sob left them no choice

so its the cops fault -

not

Most of cops I know would feel TERRIBLE arresting a minister or priest. But they are considered "public safety" for a reason. They have to think of everyone. Too bad that pastor can't do the same.

Our governor started with recommendations, and then she moved to Orders because people weren't smart enough to stay in and be careful. You can't enforce a "recommendation." Most people did what she recommended but there are always some.....

Who says you won’t be alive. Very small chance you get this and very very small chance you are hospitalized and very very very small chance you die.
Very big chance economy is crushed and livelihoods of many destroyed

my husband's cousin's husband has a cleaning & powerwashing business. he's been hired by NYS to clean & sterilize box trucks that will be converted into freezers for the dead bodies that are starting to pile up

ANNNNND

IF 1 PERSON AT THE SERVICE GOT SICK , PREACHERBOI SHOULD GO TO JAIL FOR PUBLIC ENDANGERMENT

anyone from the service dies he needs to be on death row waiting for the gas chamber

A lot of people don't realize what Economic Devastation and Poverty are all about. The Great Depression was a time of great deprivation, a lot of people die early when they can afford food or even a pot to urinate in.

Public safety, kid. Emergency measures and all that.

Country based on individual liberty, and freedom of religion and all that.

Granted, I think the idiot should have stayed home.... but the fact is, we are country based on freedom and liberty. Sorry, but you don't get to just make us your slaves because you want to. By all means, convince, argue, and encourage. But no, we are a free people. Period.

Sorry you don't get to knowingly endanger people.

Constitution my friend. Sorry, you don't get to just take away constitutional rights.

How many more will be endangered by a civil war? Make Corona look like a Utopia.

a national emergency -

catch the virus and die - the constitution is moot

Civil war. More people die. The constitution is NEVER moot.

Your civil war is going to look more like suicide by cop.

Tell that to the Yellow Vest protester in France that stood up against Fascists.
