You can be charged with a Class 1 Mis if you violate certain rules of the order, which is 1 step below a felony

Lee said it wasn't a mandate, though.

He 100% said he was for aborting babies that had been born but he would make the infant comfortable and warm before killing it

Your anti abortion rhetoric is ruining your argument.

Meh. If a church in Halls can broadcast online surely a mega church in Tampa can. The Pastor is an idiot for doing it.

Did he hold a gun to anyone's head and make them attend?

I think my favorite part about this thread is reading people complaining about our media bullying Trump at his press conferences and then seeing the same people say they don’t trust any info from China.

My least favorite thing about this thread is that I’ll never be able to top @luthervol for making that point and having it go over everyone’s heads.

I may have to go back and read the pages I skipped. It's hard for me to believe luther made a point.

Lee said it wasn't a mandate, though.

It sounded to me like he was saying: "I am issuing an executive order to urge people to stay home but not a mandate"

They would have to declare martial law for it to be a mandate. Don't see how it could be enforceable any other way.

Putin has finally decided to lockdown Russia. They've supposedly only got about a thousand cases but yet they're building 16 hospitals to care for these patients...I don't believe the meager numbers they're releasing

Russia moves toward nationwide lockdown to fight virus

Did he hold a gun to anyone's head and make them attend?

Definitely not, but it’s an irresponsible move for someone in a position of trust.

No argument there but arresting him was out of bounds. If he can be charged then his whole congregation in attendance should be charged too.

I'm not sure what he said changes anything? Said it's not a mandate

lets just hope the rest of the US doesnt follow that ahole from VA, with the June bs

I don’t think arresting him is the right way to go either unless they’ve previously had discussions with him.

If that is the bar for charges, open the effing gates.

So per the Tennessean, non-essential businesses will be closed. There will be no mandated shelter in place order for civilians. Just a strong recommendation to do so.

Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee issues two-week 'safer at home' order, close non-essential businesses

 

[Volsfaninva917]

Do you have a list or examples?

Did he hold a gun to anyone's head and make them attend?

No, but this one is especially dumb because I'm assuming (since this is a church) he had a disproportionately older crowd there, who this virus does pose an elevated risk to, and he knows those people are going to do what their pastor tells them to.

500 dollar fines and possible jail time - is what the loser Mayor of Chicago and the CPD said the other day

I just posted that I don’t think charging him is really the way to go either. But one way or the other, he’s got to be made to understand that he’s endangering his church members and the public by holding large gatherings right now.

I’m part of a group that’s about to hold a meeting that I dread - the one where we cancel Easter services.

I guess you can make that argument. But people chose to attend. It'll make for an interesting freedom of religion/1A case IMO.

 

[rjd970]

Violating the order is punishable by one year in prison or a $5,000 fine.

Smh.

Mine has been closed for weeks and I still hate they did it. I feel it could be open and we could maintain safe distances as well as discourage elderly from attending.

And so it begins.

What's beginning?...maybe?:
Natural selection and infectious disease in human populations

It'll go nowhere because the shutdown doesn't apply to just churches.

 

[508mikey]

Smh.

well they do have a couple of craphole cities in MD

He shouldn't have been arrested regardless. He and his congregation have a constitutional right to assembly.
