Megachurch Pastor Who Flouted Virus Rules, Arrested

[Guno צְבִי]

A controversial Florida pastor who refused to stop holding packed church services, in violation of coronavirus restrictions, was arrested Monday by a local sheriff who said he was putting his followers’ lives at risk.

Pastor Rodney Howard-Browne was booked on misdemeanor charges of unlawful assembly and violation of public health rules after flouting social distancing orders at The River at Tampa Bay church.


Howard-Browne—an ally of President Donald Trump—has been an outspoken opponent of social distancing requirements, claiming his church has machines that can stop the coronavirus and vowing to personally cure the state of Florida himself.

Will be interesting to see how many test positive while the great martyr sits in jail counting his donations from the "oppressed" faithful all over the country..

Them Trumpcucks in Florida are not too bright.

This will just make a martyr out of him and increase his popularity amongst his flock of brainless sheep.

Now he'll be able to con the idiots out of even more money.

At least until they die from the coronavirus they caught in his church anyway.

How will those pastors make money if they're dead?

They should hold him until the last infected person who went there either passes or recovers, then charge him with manslaughter for each death. Survivors should file civil suits and take him to the cleaners.

I agree about the civil suits but it would be interesting to see them try the charges if it even goes past the Grand Jury. People chose to attend the service.

Its God's will.

That could all certainly happen, this stupid stunt will likely be made an example of...

So they are all criminals and victims at the same time.
