Let This Sink In: Churches Are Shuttered Over COVID-19 Fears, But Violent Anarchists Are Allowed to Congregate with Impunity
PJ Media ^ | 31 May 2020 | Paula Bolyard

The lawlessness we’re witnessing across the U.S. is staggering, as is the hypocrisy of leaders who have shuttered churches over COVID-19 fears but are allowing violent mobs to ravage our cities while ignoring social distancing recommendations.

It’s hard to believe that only a week ago we were discussing President Trump saying it was time for states to allow churches to open, despite the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Some governors and an awful lot of pundits who don’t understand the importance of church argued that it was too soon — that allowing churches to reopen would be dangerous and result in a spike in coronavirus cases. Many churches, including those in the District of Columbia, remain closed by government edict.

Fast-forward a week and we’re watching thousands of rioters congregating together, ignoring social distancing recommendations, and wearing masks incorrectly, making it more likely they’ll spread the disease.

It seems to me we have two versions of the First Amendment — one for peaceful churchgoers and a second version for those who would commit violence.

Allowing? How about encouraging.

The response to this by the churches is obvious. What are they waiting for? Hit the streets, celebrate an outdoor service or mass, and dare them to billy club you.

If they all get the virus and die, isn’t that a good thing?

The “authorities” are no longer respect worthy or decent. All they have left is the power that they only will use against US.

Pastors rolled over and played dead. Don’t expect that from the BLM and Antifa crowd.

Yup. Until Trump unleashes the US military with rifles and bayonets, this will not end. Failure to enforce the law with tough measure merely encourages and emboldens the enemy.

“We have the strongest military in the world...” to protect foreigners, but not the will to protect our own citizens at home.

Ironically, the rioting will accelerate economic recovery.

Things were opening up in many states and no second surge was showing up, so Soros had to do something quickly to put the “pandemic” back in play.

It’s been something I’ve always been aware of, but why vent spleen over it? I don’t need to wear my Captain Obvious superhero uniform for everyone else. (Besides, I look ridiculous in tights.)

Zephyr, TX is a great little town, and I remember it all the way back to Good Eye Cornelius’ time.

Let’s wait and see what happens in two weeks.

These protesters and rioters and looters volunteered to be lab rats.

If they aren’t sick in two weeks, then everything is safe.
