NC Sheriff Says “Let’s Have Church”
The Johnston County Sheriff says he won’t enforce Governors rules
Johnston County Sheriff Steve Bizzel and his deputies will not prevent churches and churchgoers from assembling indoors during the coronavirus pandemic.
Under Phase One in NC only 10 people can gather inside a church.
In a letter the Sheriff wrote that churches should be allowed to operate in Phase One since retail businesses are allowed to, saying it’s “unfair” and “morally wrong.”
“As long as I’m Sheriff, my deputies nor I will forgo that oath and interfere or prevent church goers to peaceably assemble and exercise their constitutional right to freely worship. Before I would do that, I would lay down my badge and go home! NOW, LET’S HAVE CHURCH!”
In my opinion, way to go Sheriff!
