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.

I found two names in the article; but not from the Chicago ‘letter’.

Baton Rouge Central Police Chief Roger Corcoran
&
Democrat Gov. John Bel Edwards

Somebody in that code enforcement department does not know their ass from their elbow. The building itself as in the structure must be the imminent danger to the public health, safety, and welfare not its occupancy in order for a summary abatement to be ordered. The same goes for designating a building a public nuisance. That public nuisance refers to the lack of structural integrity making the structure a hazard.

For the city to interpret the code to mean a use of the building which may lead to the spread of the virus would let it be classified as a public nuisance that is such an immediate threat that a summary abatement is required shows gross ignorance and malice.

I wonder if they sent this letter to Mosques?

The City is a frigging war zone these days. SCC is one of two sites actually telling the truth about how bad it is.

Eff them. They voted for this.

Yes, this is an exaggeration. The City of Chicago isn't going to be bulldozing churches.

If the article in question wanted to make that case, the author should have included a copy of the threatening letter, as well as something official stating the meaning of "summery abatement."

Anyway, the left is horrible, and might want to bulldoze churches, but the people with power in the city aren't stupid enough to actually try it. At least not now.

Someone should ask Biden if he supports this policy.

Such as crashing into churches and throwing molotov cocktails into them and burning down historic missions and defacing religious statues.

Whoa, there! Don't be so quick to judge! Accidents happen, you know!

“I’m calling on Louisiana to mask up,” Edwards said last week. “Think of wearing masks in public as being polite. It’s being kind. It’s being courteous.”

It’s not illegal to be impolite, unkind or discourteous...yet.

“That worked out well for the British.”

Well, in a movie, anyway.

Considering that Mayor Groot is a godless perv, I wouldn’t be surprised if it happens.
