Ammon Bundy, health freedom group organize events to protest stay-home order

Some local residents are organizing gatherings in protest of Idaho’s stay-home order, putting to the test law enforcement’s approach to enforce it.

Emmett resident Ammon Bundy, known for his family’s disputes with the federal government over land management, is organizing a gathering in the Boise area to celebrate Easter this Sunday, according to a Facebook post from Saturday. Bundy wrote he is looking for a venue that could host 500 to 1,000 people “so those wanting to worship and honor God on this eventful day, can do so.”

In a nearly 50-minute Facebook video, an emotional Bundy said Christians are required to defend their liberties. He said the “quest” of governments around the world, many of which have issued stay-home orders amid the virus outbreak, is to “destroy the agency of man,” including the right to worship.

“The quest is to make us miserable, like them, and to give them power to control … the people of this world,” Bundy said.

so whatever they caught from each other isn't spread around to the rest of us. Good luck Mr. Bundy. IF you or any if your fellow celebrators get this virus may you survive long enough to recognize how wrong you were.

Just don’t go to the hospital when you get sick because you’ll be putting health care workers at risk
