On Sunday, Chicago’s first openly gay mayor, Lori Lightfoot, mounted a raid on a black South Side church for holding services in defiance of her coronavirus lockdown orders.

Lightfoot reportedly sent three marked squad cars and two unmarked cars full of officers to the Chicago Cornerstone Baptist Church in the South Side’s Woodlawn neighborhood. Woodlawn is just south of Hyde Park, the area in which the Obamas lived for a short time before Barack became president.

The pastor of the mostly black congregation, Courtney Lewis, reportedly shut and locked the doors and refused to allow the officers to gain entry to the building, Todd Starnes reported.

Pastor Lewis told Starnes that he felt like he was confronting “the Soviet-style KGB” as the officers pounded on his doors and demanded entry to shut the church down.

“Thankfully, our doors were locked as a normal safety precaution we take each service to protect our members from the escalating gun violence in Chicago,” Lewis said.

A sentry that is usually posted outside the sanctuary to monitor the street during service also reported seeing occupants of a dark car with tinted windows filming the incident through one opened window.

“All we are seeking is the same consideration and trust that is being tendered toward the liquor stores, abortion clinics, and Walmart,” Lewis told Starnes.

    • the 2 should be 1

    • I disagree.  America was founded to protect individual freedom.  Our system works except when we have taken the easy way out, voted in people we didn't want to think about forgot our freedoms and evil rushed in.  Our constiituion and its government did not operate on physical force.  The main evil that overtook us was the control of money.  It has been said Money is the root of all evil. It is more like unleashed governments desire for my money is the root of all evil.  Git rit of the Income Tax and the blank check called the Central Bank both in America and World Wide.  Trump is getting rid of the Central Bank both here and abroad.  Going on as we watch.

      We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

    • it is not here right now that was way back then now it's communism to the highest level.

    • Always remember that the law only operates where the consent of the people permit it to operate... revolutions are fought when the people finally have their fill of oppressive degenerates in government.

    • Don't pay your property taxes.

      Eventually, men and women will show up at your door with the tools of force: guns, tazers, clubs, handcuffs, written government edicts signed by give employees, and vehicles they will force you into for a drive to a jail.

       

      Just try it. 

    • These aren't just any men and women they are often officers of the law who are sworn to defend the Constitution ... but quickly forget that when it comes to following the unlawful orders of superiors... for fear of losing their jobs.  Today, we simply don't have men and women of high ethical standards enforcing our laws if we did this Mayor's orders to stop Church services would fall on deaf ears in the police department.

    • even the police agree with what the mayor is doing Chicago has run by the communist party for a long time now.

    • Wherever the law becomes oppresive enough the people rise up and cast it off... holding those in office accountable ... often under the sword.  This mayor may want to remember that.
