Easter churchgoers defiant after Kentucky troopers write down their license plate numbers

HILLVIEW, Ky. — As hymns sang out Easter Sunday from a large outdoor speaker overlooking the Maryville Baptist Church parking lot, two Kentucky State troopers placed quarantine notices on parishioners' cars and wrote down their license numbers.

Inside the church, roughly 50 worshipers ignored Gov. Andy Beshear's order against mass gatherings during the coronavirus pandemic so they could attend services together on Christianity's holiest day.

Several said as they left that they had no intention of abiding by the notice on their windshields that called for a 14-day self-quarantine or face the threat of "further enforcement measures."

Beshear said Sunday that those who received notices will get a letter "asking them to self-quarantine."

"No one is being charged with anything," he said.

And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. Truly I tell you, they already have their full reward. But when you pray, go into your inner room, shut your door, and pray to your Father, who is unseen. And your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

Fuckwads have no intention of self-quarantining, then maybe their names should be made public to protect those who are being responsible members of society and especially for those individuals who are most vulnerable.

Unfortunately, my nephew shot himself to death several years ago and I’m not much in touch with his wife nowadays (see some FB posts of hers now and then)

But they wouldn’t have been supporters of trump nor this idiotic move by this church
