What about the nails in the driveway? Did the police do that too?

No Govf bureaucrat whines about people waiting in their cars outside the state liquor stores
No one complains about people parked in their cars waiting to buy a Lotto ticket
But parked 15 feet apart at a Drive In listening to a Christian church service is over the line?
For Easter, a federal judge wrote a luminous decision defending religious liberty
Note to the AG: Where the heck have you been?!
The government has no business in eliminating religious liberty for one day, one month or for any period of time.
If my priest is willing to serve me communion and I am willing and able to receive via non-social distancing, so be it. It is not the government's choice. It is my choice and my priest's choice.
Given that, I have a medical condition that would make it unwise to be around a lot of people right now. (It would also be unwise for the seasonal flu if there wasn't a vaccine, but that is another discussion.) I choose not to go to mass. I also limited my activities prior to the state shutting down. It was my choice.
I sincerely believe a lot of people have made that choice on their own - to shut in and not to shut in. I heard about a lot of family and friends getting together over Easter - they chose not to. My adult daughter regularly sees her friends. I do not begrudge them. All of this despite the state sanctioned shutdown. I have no serious reason to think the shutdown has changed the outcome of the ChiCom flu. Americans have a natural inclination to free association and they are going behind government's back to do so.
All of this is a sign that government is completely wrong about this. The people know it. The people are disobeying. Deep staters don't care about freedom. They do not understand ordinary Americans, nor do they care about them. They are completely deaf to what real Americans want more of - Freedom.
I have no problem with Trump - he issued "guidelines". He shut down transportation with China - long over due, but just for the wrong reasons. Barr on the other hand, I'll wait and see if he locks up half the Department of Injustice and the FBI and then we'll talk. I'm not holding my breath.
Its really a huge NAZI driven shame that this had to be said.
Even my non-religious friends thought the Governor and police were way over the line.
