Pay Up! Moscow, Idaho Owes $300,000 to Christians Arrested During 2020 Outdoor Singing Protest

Remember when our government officials threatened to arrest us for breathing air without a face diaper on? Those were funny times.

And when I say “funny” I mean “dystopian.”  

Well, it seems that some of the kooks who tried to enforce their insane rules on church-goers in 2020 are about to get a serving of financial hurt.

The Daily Wire reported:

“The city of Moscow, Idaho — home to the University of Idaho — announced the settlement in the churchgoers’ civil lawsuit last week.

Three churchgoers with Christ Church sued the city after they were arrested in September 2020 at an outdoor ‘psalm sing’ with their church outside Moscow City Hall. The singing protest lasted about 20 minutes. Gabriel Rench and Sean and Rachel Bohnet filed the suit in March 2021, alleging that their First and Fourth Amendments rights were violated.”

Yeah, being arrested for singing hymns outside was probably not something the Founding Fathers thought should land you in the slammer, IMO.

“A federal judge later denied the city’s request to dismiss the lawsuit from the three people arrested, noting that the city’s pandemic ordinance had an exception for activities protected by the Idaho and U.S. constitutions, such as religious services. The judge said the three never should have been arrested in the first place,” The Daily Wire wrote.

We stan a judge who is no-nonsense about our Constitutional freedoms.

This should have never happened in the first place, and I wish the fine was bigger—but it’s better than nothing. Hopefully this ruling will at least make elected officials pause before being ABSOLUTELY NUTS again.

I can dream, right?
