Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear (D) urged residents to remain indoors for the Easter holiday and mandated that anyone who breaks the state's stay-at-home order will have to self-quarantine for two weeks. Beshear will enforce his state's laws by recording the license plates of any person attending Easter services or other gatherings. The residents will then receive quarantine notices in person. "This is a time and weekend, a whole week for multiple faiths, that is about faith. It's about knowing we have faced as people - as Christians, as Jews, as members of many faiths - many difficult, dark times, and we have prevailed," Beshear said Friday. "We know that the weeks or the months ahead will be difficult. We know that there are going to be tougher days before there are easier days." "This is the only way we can ensure that your decision doesn't kill someone else," he added. Beshear said the state government is only aware of six churches that are planning to hold in-person services for Easter. Those attending any gathering will be charged with a misdemeanor violation of the emergency orders issued by the governor and Kentucky Department for Public Health. "I want to encourage you to meet together separately this Sunday, to remind you that on that first Easter Jesus came to people behind locked doors," Chris Michael, pastor of the First Christian Church, Disciples of Christ, said. "He will come to you as well." The announcement comes as a handful of churches around the country buck state orders, drawing national headlines with controversial in-person services. Kentucky has had nearly 1,700 confirmed coronavirus cases and 90 deaths. Public officials have credited social distancing measures with helping slowly curb outbreaks in a number of states and have warned that reversing such practices could lead to a dangerous COVID-19 resurgence. However, Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul (R) slammed Beshear's order, saying he needs to "take a step back." "Taking license plates at church? Quarantining someone for being Christian on Easter Sunday? Someone needs to take a step back here," Paul, a staunch libertarian, tweeted. Taking license plates at church? Quarantining someone for being Christian on Easter Sunday?

Aren't the liquor stores still open in Kentucky? If so, then I guess churches could hold their services in the parking lot? Well, maybe all but the Baptists -- my neighbor says that Baptists don't recognize each other at the liquor store.
Yes, they were declared essential. On the second day they were called beverage stores. I still get my daily ration. hiccup!
When we worked concert security in Chicago at the smaller venues and we would catch them with beer or booze in the line we would take it from them since public drinking was not allowed. One day I was walking the line at the Vic Theater. I spot a paper sack in the litter basket. I open it up and it has most of a 12 pack in it. It is my brand, so I pick up the sack and start to walk away. This guy in the line hollers, "Hey!" I said, "Hey what? It's MY beer." If I had caught him with it in the line it would have been mine anyway. ROTFLOL
Man, you were an asshole ! I'm so happy that you've repented !!! (I was an absolute asshole in my past ... and have repented as well !)

I've got news for you -- he did exactly right. That guy got better than he deserved for being so stupid and common as to attend a rock concert.
On that job you had to be an asshole. You were dealing with people that were drunk or high on some kind of dope so you could not allow anyone to get over on you. If you did, you were behind the eight ball the rest of the night. Oh, I got hurt once or twice, but that went with the territory. I have repented as you say since I have given up booze, beer and all other mind altering substances. LOL
