Louisiana pastor again holds church services, defying house arrest orders

April 26, 2020 / 3:05 PM / CBS/AP



A Louisiana pastor is holding services in his church again, defying house arrest orders that followed an assault charge. Tony Spell was charged last week after his decision to hold mass gatherings defied public health orders during the coronavirus pandemic.

A Facebook livestream from Life Tabernacle Church on Sunday showed Spell walking among more than 100 congregants, often repeating the phrase, "I've just got to get to Jesus. ... Come on America, let's get back to Jesus." Nearly all parishioners were not wearing face masks, and social distancing was not being practiced.

The police department in Central, a suburb Baton Rouge, says on their Facebook page that Spell turned himself into the department last week on charges of aggravated assault and improper backing.

As he hocks a virus laden loogie on the microphone. Oh, they will get there. Jesus is annoyed by sheer stupidity though, (as he pointed out) so they will just be standing there, waiting and waiting and waiting. You know, eternity is a long time Imagine the surprise. Endless surprise.

2. More Darwin awards, please.

Let’s throw that 2-bit charlatan in jail where he belongs, for starters. Then let’s hope stupidity makes an example... and helps them get back to Jesus as quickly as possible.
