Pastor Rodney Howard-Browne said he wouldn't close the doors of his Tampa, Florida, megachurch until the End Times begin.

The police weren't willing to wait that long. On Monday, Florida sheriff's deputies arrested the evangelical pastor, who has continued to host large church services despite public orders urging residents to stay home to help contain the spread of the novel coronavirus.

Hillsborough County Sheriff Chad Chronister said Howard-Browne has been charged with two counts: unlawful assembly and a violation of health emergency rules. Both are second-degree misdemeanors, Chronister said at a press conference Monday.

Unlawful assembly sounds like a violation of the first amendment. I smell a suit.

Tabernacle in my home town of Central.

I lived less than 5 mins from this church and we all called it a cult back in the late 90s

If people wonder how we get more authoritarianism in our lives from the government and the police, it's because of morons or grifters like this pastor who refuses to practice common sense and use his freedoms responsibly.

Was each and every church parishioner taken from their homes at gunpoint and forced to go to his service?

Those frickers are just as guilty.

We'd get the cops to break that one up but BR's leaders are probably literally retarded.
