Who could be so careless with human life, so focused on their business, that they were willing to endanger people in order to keep getting them in the door?
Why, a pastor of a megachurch of course! Pastor Rodney Howard-Browne was arrested on Monday and charged with unlawful assembly and violating quarantine orders during a public health emergency after holding multiple Sunday services at his enormous megachurch, the River at Tampa Bay.
According to the Tampa Bay Times, the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office got an anonymous tip Howard-Browne was telling parishioners he would indeed still be holding his two church services despite local physical distancing guidelines which were put in place to slow the spread of the deadly coronavirus.
