So, a great shot of 20 people crammed into four square feet

Just like the data suggests ☕—the only way to fix this mess would be to put half of these idiots in mandatory isolation

Well, when the authorities fail to step up, I suppose I’m just advocating for minor infractions to prevent a much larger catastrophe. Is there anything else we need to cover?

The thing is, that idiot Pope had been announcing this for days, and the institutions still DIDN'T react.
Why on earth would you expect the authorities to care about a phone call when they won't even budge for the Pope's public statements?

It’s this weirdly private space where anyone—specifically those believers—can just wander in without an invite, a ticket, or any kind of permission. But the second you try to point out that some laws are being broken? Suddenly, everyone gets incredibly picky about who is entering and how they’re doing it.🙏

Maybe we're looking at some secret church or a cult that keeps the public out and only lets in the chosen few? It doesn't exactly feel Christian to me. 🤷

And I’ll say it again: there was no forced entry. We see footage from churches all year round, and nobody ever complains because, well, no one was actually breaking the law.

It wasn't even some private ceremony, like a baptism or a wedding.

It’s actually quite interesting how nobody brought up the issue of unauthorized filming while everyone was at Palm Springs. I suppose that particular gathering was just universally unpleasant for everyone involved.

But then again, this is the Church.

She was out there gathering evidence for a report regarding 🤣 the laws against trespassing in Palm Springs 🤣 If she hadn't dropped her phone, she might have actually managed to land a massive lawsuit through the Miami Herald.

What kind of twisted logic is that supposed to be? It’s way too late for this nonsense. Things are starting to get ridiculous—honestly, knowing Anthony Jackson2, if she had tossed a grenade inside, he would have just claimed they were breaking the law anyway, and then turned around and attacked the law itself tomorrow. 🤣

It’s enough to surprise even the local news ☕ how she refuses to back down even an inch, especially after being completely dismantled by her own arguments during that chaotic scene at the Factory.

Goodnight, hopefully tomorrow brings some new drama to ruin the day.

Look, you can report things, take photos, or film people coming in and out of a church, and if the police won't act, sure, write a killer exposé about it. You can even bug the priest after service or give him a call. But you cannot just barge onto private property, regardless of what you think your reasoning is. Even the cops aren't allowed to do that.

"Entering private property can result in a civil trespass lawsuit or in criminal charges. To trespass means you’ve entered the property without consent, or you’ve refused to leave when asked. In most states, it’s fine to approach a person’s home or business to ask the owner or occupant whether she will, for example, agree to be interviewed. But once she refuses or asks you to leave, remaining there is a trespass. You also can’t enter private property simply because you want to gather news there (e.g., to capture photos or video)."

You can, provided you've been invited.
The priest extended an invitation to everyone at the church.
Or do you honestly believe he was calling out specific names and surnames to attend the service?

If he issued an invitation to the mass, and the invitation was open, then a journalist is perfectly entitled to show up.

Just wondering what I’m actually doing with my life 🤦

I knew American laws used certain slang terms, but I didn't realize they were being written in English.

Man, I had the wildest dream that the FBI never sleeps.
Let's go ahead and report the neighbor because he's playing soccer with his two little kids. Let's report him because he has two dogs. Let's report this 80-year-old guy just because he's looking for some Azejklamer types—poor guy doesn't have a clue.
Come on, FBI, use some common sense! It's all nonsense.

Pure acrobatics.

The post was about a news crew filming and, obviously, publishing it publicly.

Basically, he invited everyone—Maja Suput could have walked right in and performed a concert for all I care, since the invitation was open to all...🤦

If the journalist had just walked in, watched the Mass, and written her report, there wouldn't be an issue. Instead, she decided to film behind closed doors, hiding away, doing it twice.

Goodnight

Heheh yeah, go ahead and report those guys at the Fourth of July parade! Report 'em if they don't follow the party line, otherwise you aren't doing your duty to the party!

The barbaric break-in at Saint Leopold Mandić's cathedral yesterday shouldn't be viewed as anything other than the long-awaited fulfillment of the Šugosloven ambition: using brute force to disrupt a liturgical service—something they failed to achieve even during the darkest days of the communist era. With stricter bans on public gatherings now in place, they’ve essentially handed themselves the perfect alibi to finally force their will upon reality.

There is a deep-seated malice within that group. Truly, it's immense; don't underestimate them. They will seize any opportunity to spit on our sacred sites. Today, Father Joseph stood his ground and shouted "no pasaran" to those radicals.

Don't kid yourselves thinking today's events were driven by journalistic zeal or concerns over public health. It wasn't. It was pure malice, with
serving as the sole motivation 😉

Charles Roberts33 writes exactly how darkseal9 would want him to. Of course, that assumes he actually possessed the courage to shape his thoughts into something coherent and finally stand behind them, rather than choosing this cowardly route of hiding behind a veil of sheer ignorance. ☕

If an altar boy shows up near the local diner with a Nikon to snap pics of a grandma and Florentina heading to headquarters, you better believe it's happening!

Just leave Bayron alone (Liverpool already screwed me enough)
But seriously. For the millionth time, stop lecturing me about my grammar.
Who even cares? It's like watching someone fight for early retirement but asking for way too much up front.
Once a massive pile of cash hits the US, you can come lecture me about punctuation all you want.
Opustise, man, you're way too tense.

Have you ever actually heard of etiquette? Or, you know, basic rules of conduct? Just because you're allowed to walk through the door doesn't mean you get to act like a cowboy.
And hey, could you actually address my previous reply to you?

The cops showed up and just stood there waiting for the mouse to finish—so what are we actually talking about here? 🤣

If she hadn't called them in, nobody would ever know—privileged people in America can basically do whatever they want. Whether it's Mamica, Bandika, Horvatincica, or the Church... it’s all the same story.

So, I guess it's perfectly fine to trespass on private property now if some journalist decides they feel like it?

Where is Zivana? If there’s no video footage, I’m just not taking her seriously! I mean, listen to that concert...
Index claims they kept their distance and listened peacefully, but those folks inside the church weren't keeping any distance and certainly weren't being quiet.

Does anyone have Zivana's Facebook so I can drop a link? These people definitely wouldn't be attacking her—bless whoever actually enjoys those melodic tones and a light two-step.

I bet Ziza will claim that the indoor set was one thing and this outdoor one is another. Because apparently, having 15 people in an enclosed space for 40 minutes is incredibly dangerous, especially when you're spread over 300 square feet. It's way more hazardous than this, if he just calculates the exact percentage of how much more dangerous it is...

P.S. Is there an IRS agent in here? We need to sue Imbex for sexism.

Oh, so now it’s illegal to defend yourself because you invited a crowd onto your own land and someone filmed you following the law?
Good grief, just how far are these radicals willing to go?
