Police in the US have had to deal with some unusual cases as a result of social-distancing guidelines.

 

On Sunday, Chicago police broke up a funeral with between 40 and 60 attendees for breaching the state's stay-at-home order. Police said they witnessed several people drinking from the same cup. Officers said they dispersed the attendees, but did not arrest anyone.

 

Meanwhile, in Florida, police arrested a pastor for unlawful assembly - after he allegedly held two large services, and laid on buses to help attendees get to the church. Police said Rodney Howard-Browne's "reckless disregard for human life" put hundreds at risk.

 

And in Maine, police were called to investigate a particularly extreme case - after local vigilantes allegedly chopped down a tree and used it to block a local resident's road - to stop them from leaving their home. They apparently targeted the person because their licence plates indicated they were from another state. A local politician criticised the actions as "a tremendous waste of resources", adding "now is not the time to develop an 'us vs. them' mentality".

Any book that creates Christmas presents and Easter eggs is boss.


It also produduced a hatered and fear of homosexuals and an all pervasive patriarchy that has done more to debase humanity than anything, ever, except possibly the Koran and it’s insistence that it is the ‘final’ book of prophetic verse.

 

Thats not to mention it stance on slaves, ‘others’ and people who wear mixed fibre garments.

 

I’d say it’s the problem, not a thing we should look to for a solution, as it’s managed to sow the seed of racial, cultural and class divide since it’s inception.

 

That might just be me though.

 

NB. This is sarcasm.
