Yesterday I took the following short video in downtown San Francisco of radical leftist protesters blocking a street--it is slightly over a minute long, and can be seen on YouTube, or you can watch the embedded version below:
People illegally blocking the street for a long time in their cars is fine; there were no fines, no tickets, no penalties of any kind. The "Poor People's Campaign," a radical left-wing organization whose platform "demands" crazy things like "establish[ing] 100% debt forgiveness for all borrowers earning less than $50,000; up to $50,000 of debt forgiveness for borrowers earning less than $100,000 ... waiv[ing] all interest payments," enabling illegal immigrants to "work and live without fear of arrest, deportation, or detention," "ban[ning] the use of force" by police "against people who are unarmed," so that if a policeman is getting punched in the face by a thug over and over again he just needs to deal with it, and if somehow the criminal is arrested, to "end cash bail" so that he can get back out again and never show up to court, and gobs of other nutty nonsense.
Were there any fines issued for blocking the street and tying up traffic for a substantial period of time?
No.
Were there any tickets issued? No.
Were the vehicles towed away? No.
Blocking the street to bash Mitch McConnell, to demand a leftist and activist Supreme Court, to demand trillions of dollars in spending, to destroy the free market, to scream leftist slogans, to support socialism, radical Democrats, oppose Republicans, limited government, and the U. S. Constitution, and so on, is perfectly acceptable in the California. Certainly if the protestors are not wearing masks or are not socially distanced it is also not a problem.
What about going to church in California? Fines--punishment--threats of jail time--the whole force of the law bearing down on law-abiding, peaceful Christians, who do not block streets, scream at people, cause traffic jams, or demand the confiscation of the property of others in the name of socialism--all they want is to be left alone to worship God and obey the Bible. Is that acceptable in California? Nope. No way! Just ask North Valley Baptist Church pastor Jack Trieber; Grace Community Church pastor John MacArthur; and the many other churches suffering persecution in California.
No double standard here. Just move on.
Oh wait--you can't move on--the leftist crazies are blocking the busy street in downtown, demanding the end of the American republic.

Our prayers are effective and they are assailed by them. The mob chants however are very ineffective.
