Good!

[@astigboy]

It's not about being a sheep, it's about complying with a public health order. Many businesses and churches complied and they have now reopened. That is why this pandemic will not end soon.

Total crooks. They break the law and defy the rules and get paid for it. It’s so fucking wrong

[@k9starr583]

@@MisterMan7516 It’s called the first amendment! If you knew anything about this case, the judges ruling was that hurdle the county had to get over was the first amendment. The county is the one who offered to pay for the legal fees that the church endured.

@@MisterMan7516 what law did they break? County Broke the law. And the united states supreme court upheld the ruling. I guess you’re one of those people or should I say puppets that does everything the government tells them to do.

The Churches should pay a hefty fine! Not the other way around!who the hell do they think they are? they're the cause of the pandemic going out of control!,L.A. county shouldn't have to pay the church anything!😠

[@mattusapparatus5968]

Well that’s a dub statement. Can you name a law they broke? Of course not, because they didn’t. Just another sheep begging ignorant politicians to do your thinking for you. It never even occurs to you to ask if they have the authority to do it (clearly they don’t).
