Please tell me this is an exaggeration - Chicago Threatening to Bulldoze Churches for Not Complying with COVID Mandates

Matt Staver, the founder and chairman of Liberty Counsel, said on Wednesday that the city is classifying his clients as “public nuisances.” He said they were issued a letter declaring that the city “has the power and duty to cause all nuisances affecting the health of the public to be abated.” The letter threatened a “summary abatement,” which would mean the destruction of the facilities without due process.

It’s their demonically sourced and fueled hatred of God showing.

They are doing the work of the enemy and will stop at NOTHING until they eradicate Christianity in any form.

Satan’s problem is, it doesn’t work. The more persecution, the more the church grows.

My brother and SIL worked at a covert Christian school in China. Someone went to the authorities and told them they were teaching Christianity. The authorities questioned the administrators, who denied it. The next day they closed the school down and bulldozed it. In fact when I read the headline, I read it as China, not Chicago and thought ‘oh, so they’re still doing that in China’.

This is the sort of thing the Left does when they DON’T occupy the White House, DON’T control the Senate, and DON’T have reliable control of the Supreme Court.

If the left gets any more power, they will pack the court, make DC a state, and allow illegals to vote — THEN they will really go hardcore.

Very sobering words as they are very true.

What happened in VA is our future as a country plus some if/when the time comes that they take control of all three.

Have to seriously question why any clear thinking individual would want to become a policeman or stay on a police force under the current rules, for force engagement. I don’t know the answer but until these circumstances change, it’s a no brained, in my opinion.

This country is turning into China pretty quickly.

The devil has about 75% of our population captive.
This will not end well.

I am sure Barr will have the DOJ file a “statement of interest” soon.

That will show them!

Why doesn’t the DOJ SUE the city for this crap NOW?

This is like watching the Nazi seizure of power take place right here. Hard to believe they are being as successful as they are. We lost the schools and the media a long time ago, and the repercussions of that are now plain to see.

It’s like a slow motion train wreck.

And we’re on the train.

Hey, don't worry everyone! I have told my army of Department of Justice professionals to "Be On The Lookout" for violations of Constitutional rights. Fortunately, we haven't seen any.

Pretty soon, what has been happening in China for years will happen here.

I think they're trying to bait Trump into doing something.

I don't think the Left has anything to worry about. I expect nothing from the White House.

Streaming may not be at the church building in the future, but from “an underground bunker in a nondescript building.”

Like they can't/won't shut THIS down?

It’s a First Amendment issue, so Federal. BARR NEEDS TO STEP IN.

If this bulldozing of churches catches on, it could be that the church Barr and Mueller and their BFF wives attend could be in jeopardy. Maybe he should consider that.
