>A Louisiana pastor will be charged on six counts of misdemeanor for holding services in defiance of Democratic Gov. John Bel Edwards's stay at home order.

>Tony Spell, pastor of the Life Tabernacle Church near Baton Rouge, was arrested Tuesday morning. He faces individual charges for each time he held a service in his church that exceeded the 10-person limit set by Edwards, according to the local CBS affiliate. Spell faces a $500 fine and up to six months in prison, according to East Baton Rouge District Attorney Hillar Moore.

>Throughout March, Spell boasted about holding services attended by hundreds of people even as the state restricted the number of people who could gather from 50 to 10. Spell said he would continue to hold services, calling the shutdown orders "politically motivated."

>After police broke up a March 18 service, which more than 300 people attended, Spell said that the state was trampling upon his First Amendment rights.

>"We hold our religious rights dear, and we are going to assemble no matter what someone says," he said.

>At that service, Spell told his congregation to "not let the fear of persecution of any government official, any dictator law, prevent you from worshiping God, which our First Amendment states you are not allowed to do in any form."

>"Our church is a hospital where the sick can come and get healing," he said in his sermon. "Cancers are healed here, people are healed of HIV in these services, and we believe that tonight, we're also going to pass out anointed handkerchiefs to people who may have a fear, who may have a sickness, and we believe that when those anointed handkerchiefs go, that healing virtue is going to go on them as well."

>Spell continued to hold services, sometimes attracting more than 1,000 people. When Edwards expressed disappointment that Spell would not comply with the shutdown orders, the pastor called the governor's classification of churches as "nonessential" entities a "persecution of the faith."

violation of 1st amendment rights, he'll have a lawsuit when those courts do open back up.

Which is also unconstitutional since citizens are supposed to have speedy trials

You don't have to call it marital law when you can say quarantine.

/thread

>Coronavirus outbreak
>Christians think they should behave like they did during the black plague which raged for centuries because they didn't understand germ theory and social isolation

I think state of emergency-situation is going to nullify both of those. Otherwise nobody would follow any quarantine laws.

Oh look its a jew pretending the constitution doesn't exist.

>I think state of emergency-situation is going to nullify both of those. Otherwise nobody would follow any quarantine laws.
WRONG. That's not how things work in America.

Actually
>Cancers are healed here, people are healed of HIV in these services, and we believe that tonight, we're also going to pass out anointed handkerchiefs to people who may have a fear, who may have a sickness, and we believe that when those anointed handkerchiefs go, that healing virtue is going to go on them as well."
They still don't

You don't have a constitutional right to pozz people with your illness and snake oil sales. This isn't fucking California.

Why doesn't he just pray away the charges? Or the virus?

So, is this guy still in jail? Would be a good thing to know.

This is about cops all over the country attempting to arrest people for practicing their religion. UNCONSTITUTIONALLY

>You don't have a constitutional right to pozz people
sorry, did you say you have the right to stay home if you're afraid? I mean, being a stupid jew, I realize that would be 100% of the time for you, but it is your risk.

This is about a disease vector proven to be capable of infecting millions of people over a few short weeks. Airborne transmission of coronavirus has been proven, regardless of faith.

They got to preach their sermon. Then afterwards they got arrested for intentionally spreading the virus.

christfags stay at home. quit pretending faith will actually save you from the real world.

This is about totalitarian policies being implemented under the guise of public safety

Yeah, it is. Pandemics suck because of that and theres not much anyone can do about it. Quarantine by the very concept goes against many individual freedoms but its necessary.

It's not just fucking people who are afraid that need to stay home. You think those ebola niggers and chinks were "afraid" when they bit into bats and started spreading their coofs and sneezes everywhere? The people blissfully without fear as to how many people they're infecting are part of the problem. You're the kike for wanting it to spread uncontrolled throughout the South.

Hey kike. You aren't gonna be able to manufacture consent on Yas Forums for these unconstitutional policies. I think it's really funny you're actually trying.

Are the Synagogues also shut down, or are jews allowed to go do their weekly ritual of child mutilation and kiddy diddling because judaism is more super special than christianity so they're still allowed to assemble?

To be fair, fucking nail salons are deemed essential but churches aren’t, it’s a bit crazy

>Authoritarianism bad
Go back to /leftypol/ and dilate

The Black Plague did not rage for centuries you liar

Your god and saviour Trump already said these measures are necessary. You smell like a tranny.

>

I have to agree with the pastor. State is violating his god given right to assembly, speech, and religion. "Oh no...governor says something because you might catch the sickness so I guess we should just tear up the Constitution".

>Your god and saviour Trump already said these measures are necessary. You smell like a tranny.
Say "take your meds schizo" next.

False image, that number is the yearly average of seasonal flu. Not the average for 3 months.

>Still no understanding of exponential growth
>Equating accidents to diseases
>Equating nigger removal with a disease
Hahaha fuck your pilpul kike.

20 million phone numbers have disappeared from Chinese telecoms. In china your social credit score is linked to your phone number.

Is this nothingburger shit just 5D shilling for China? Do you realize that you're a useful idiot?

Dilate.

Recurrent outbreaks all up until the 1900s. Never fully stopped transmitting.

Why would I believe this news? China Russia and the USA are gonna end up killing you Israelis together.

Do we even have courts anymore due to this "emergency"? Kinda doesn't seem like it huh.

First off, if your argument is that these people are religious and you think they're dumb, then if they are wrong, this will do you a favor.
Secondly, since everything else is locked down, spreading this is irrelevant.
Third, if they're actually stupid, and otherwise incapable of thinking, you need them attending a church, so they don't show up and start burning things.

>shit their fast food = essential
>worship = banned
Wonder what the Jews and Muslims are doing while the government harassed houses of Christian worship

Pubonic plague did reappear many times throughout centuries though. Nowadays its forever stuck in the widlerness of many countries. Neighbouring state of the most recent Ebola outbreak had an even bigger antibiotics resistant plague-outbreak Wear your gloves when skinning small critters.

oh no! We'll all get the sniffles!

The plague is to this day carried by gophers and prairie dogs but saying “ravaged for centuries” is disingenuous and you know it.

Taiwan is the real China. Communist China is illegitimate and Winnie The Pooh is a fraud.

What government is doing is illegal. Thousands of clergy should be defying the lock down. Hope the pastor in question sues the crap out of them. And isn't this the sort of stunt that rabid cult pulls every Easter? Usually its a fake 'terrorist attack' or false flag shooting or tsunami, etc. Christian festivals really piss them off. But this has gone too far which is typical because that insane gang of cultists have never learned about moderation. They always go too far. Everyone should make a note of the current insanity based on a hoax virus. Don't forget. God's doors are never closed. The pastor is a man of integrity.

>Courts are closed so you can't challenge this at all.
They'll be closed forever and he won't get a jury of bible thumpers to award him millions. Why can't you faggots think more than a few hours into the future?

There's nothing in theory that can ever suspend guaranteed constitutional rights. The state will argue that this is similar to the whole "you have 1st amendment rights but you can't shout "fire" in a crowded auditorium" idea that your rights end when you're creating a dangerous situation for others those are very difficult to prove though, since the state would have to prove that the religious group posed a threat to others via their gathering (i.e. they would spread the virus to each other and then interact with others). The counter argument will of course be that if those other people are under quarantine they won't be in danger of contact with the religious group. Religious rights carry a lot of weight in the US, chances are good this guy sues and takes this to a higher court.

USA CN and RUS will wipe you Israelis out.

That's how it works now.
It is now illegal to leave your house, without an essential purpose, in many areas.
They'll likely come for the guns next.

I don't want White people dying because a bunch of sandnigger kike offshoots can't fucking stay at home for a few weeks like every other human to stop a disease using proven WHITE MEDICINE like handwashing, masks, isolation, and not fucking going out if you think you're sick instead of breathing into a magic handkerchief and thinking you're cured.
>Secondly, since everything else is locked down, spreading this is irrelevant.
These fuckers don't have the foresight to prep since they think their god is going to cure them with a song and hope, and whatever feel good shit their pastor peddles. So they probably go to the grocery store, get coofed on/coof, then spread it to the other members of their congregation, then each of those members goes and does the same thing and voila you have exponential growth since the rate of change is proportional to the previous value, does your shitskin brain understand?
>Third, if they're actually stupid, and otherwise incapable of thinking, you need them attending a church, so they don't show up and start burning things.
I think we should just shoot them if they start burning things, maybe we shouldn't keep a bunch of animal-tier IQ apes around who need imaginary story time to keep themselves calm and civilized.

But now it doesn't break out in cities and kill millions, does it? So you're the one being a deflecting Jew and trying to pretend like the literal black plague wasn't a problem for centuries.

>>shit teir fast food = essential
>>worship = banned
Even the LQ is "essential" in most states.
>Wonder what the Jews and Muslims are doing
In New Jersey they're censoring news stories about Jewish weddings being broken up by the Cops.
Personally, that kind of thing can only go on so long. People need to be able to start families and new lives. Stay home if you're afraid.

Unless someone knows that this is more than a disease that will kill maybe .5% of the globe, being mostly people over 60?

Lol it was not raging for centuries, you used the language own your mistake. Problem, maybe, raging? Absolutely not.

Lutherianism is a state religion here and even here people dont have that much religious freedom. Granted if the pastor would've done that shit here despite multiple warnings, he would've gotten away with a fine first time around.

State of emergency measures override everything else here, dont know about the US but logic would dictate when the National Guard gets called, those measures go before all other rights and responsibilities. We've already blocked the entire capital city region from the rest of Finland to prevent infection. Those who try to cross get escorted back by the police, or put in jail by the army if they keep trying.

Finally they're doing something about these fucking cultists. Next time give em the Waco wammy.

LIBERTY OR DEATH, you fucking faggots!

>but dictate would logic
is actually the way to read this. are you in possession that this is anything more than a slightly worse flu?
no?
then nothing burger, let people live their conscience and shut up.

Chrostians frequently cared for plague victims, even at the cost of their own lives . You dont have to worry when you know where youre going

Nice try, Noseberg, but the Black Plague was spread by Jews poisoning wells with infected corpses.

Slightly worse influenza is still enough to disrupt societies. Italy tried to ignore it and now they get 700 deaths per day and their healthcare system has completely destroyed itself under the pressure.

If its a nothingburger, then go and contract it. Report back here.

Nope. There are a lot of ongoing criminal cases that are just being dropped due to quarantines.

The government can’t just yell. EMERGENCY and then throw out the constitution.

If the government claims emergency powers, it needs to be able to justify the action and scope in a lawsuit later. Eg. Leaving video game and pot shops open but banning gun stores.

This guy would probably lose, but I can imagine a televangelists that makes families sit 10 ft apart with sneeze shields or whatever to win.

>the first amendment overrides national emergencies

Pol lawyering at its finest

Explain to me the vaulted agape level of love for the flock these pastors are exercising by having their members endangered. Or could the motivation be a loss of revenue? Why don't you go deliver meals to corona wards if there's nothing to this cunt?

Christcucks. Not even once.
