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.

Oh, that’s right; I had forgotten about Cromwell in Ireland. I vaguely remember reading about the incident, or something similar, but for some reason I had thought it was the town he had burned, and not that he burned a church filled with townspeople seeking sanctuary. The Great Protector! Pssshaw!

[The violent annihilation of Christianity is the core craving of the Democrat.]

This. They have been infected with the spirit of antichrist, especially since 2008. In that year, they found their latest inspiration in a false prophet who tells them good is evil and that evil is good.

[Wow.. the Left is really on the warpath vs. Christianity.]

That's why I say, often, they will eagerly receive the Antichrist and the false prophet. He'll tell them all how to be great global citizens. The precedent has already been set. Notice Ban Ki-moon there; former U.N. Secretary General; he was U.N. Secretary General at that time.

The strongest church has historically been the persecuted church.

Good luck trying to find solid meat taught in a church lately. Flip up movie theatre chairs, metrosexual hipster adorned pastors, seeker-sensative, garbage is the trend. Or, Somme dusty, musty spiritual dead gothic cathedral, where no lives are changed is all we find here.

Mega campuses where mammon is the idol is way too predominant and where there’s always a good show.

I’m pretty let down trying to find a good church. But, we’re all sinners and maybe in just too judgemental

but the people with power in the city aren't stupid enough to actually try it.

Can you prove that?

The government wants to disarm us after 243 yrs 'cuz they plan to do things we would shoot them for!

At no point in history has any government ever wanted its people to be defenseless for any good reason ~ nully's son

“Shhh.....Don’t Tell Anyone
Ten recruits and an instructor have tested positive for the Kung Flu since the Academy reopened last week.

Leaving aside that these recruits are close to the best shape of their lives and aren’t really in danger of succumbing to anything worse than a week on the Medical, the reaction of the Department is going to be telling.

You see, the NYPD isn’t the only one suffering from a massive wave of retirements. The CPD is already seeing a big uptick in supervisory retirement as the PBPA Contract was settled - check the AdMin fax messages. There have been between five and ten people leaving every week. Add in the changes at the top and a bunch more are going to see this as their careers ending. Plus, the PBPA negotiated an window for white shirts to leave under the terms of the old Contract before the end of the year and that makes a big difference in the health insurance costs.

So will the Academy plow through the illness wave?

this is scary:

“Never Chase Policy
Citizens, you are on your own, regardless of the circumstances:
Someone stole a van with a passenger still inside Saturday after fleeing a crash in the Loop.

Officers saw a 2008 Pontiac sedan run a red light and hit another vehicle at 12:34 a.m. in the 100 block of North Wacker Drive, according to Chicago police. No injuries were reported in the crash.

Four males got out of the Pontiac and ran away, police said. One of them ran to the 100 block of East Wacker, where he got into a 2014 Kia van that was running with a 20-year-old woman in the back seat.

He drove off, eventually leaving the woman at a gas station in the 5900 block of South Ashland Avenue in West Englewood, according to police. She was not hurt.
“not hurt” But forcibly removed from one location to another against her will. That’s kidnapping - a forcible felony. And a termination order was given.

We’ve heard termination orders given for hot cars, accidents and warrants, as they should be.

We’ve also heard termination orders given for UUWs, robberies and aggravated batteries, which looking back, were questionable, but probably the correct calls.

We’ve also heard termination orders given for Shots Fired at the Police and at least three murderers. Once upon a time, we would have questioned these, but nowadays, you take your own chances because they will crucify you if it goes south.

And now we have this kidnapping.

You were all over twenty-one when you hired on, so you make your own call. We’re just letting citizens know, if you or your loved ones are kidnapped, raped, robbed, shot or murdered, the police won’t be allowed pursue.

No. But given that the writer of the article didn’t include a copy of the letter itself, nor anything from the law of the state or city supporting what he claimed...I shouldn’t have to.
