Dallas salon owner who reopened despite coronavirus restrictions gets 7 days in jail

A Texas salon owner was given seven days in jail on Tuesday after she refused to apologize for defying coronavirus related restrictions by remaining open for business.

Dallas business owner Shelley Luther was given a choice: She could offer an apology for selfishness, pay a fine and shutdown until Friday, or serve jail time.

"I have to disagree with you, sir, when you say that I'm selfish because feeding my kids is not selfish," she told the judge. "I have hairstylists that are going hungry because they would rather feed their kids. So sir, if you think the law is more important than kids getting fed, then please go ahead with your decision. But I am not going to shut the salon."

After her refusal to show contrition, bailiffs led her away to be booked. Her sentence reportedly symbolizes the seven-days she stayed open, despite county regulations.

Luther had been cited by city officials but chose to ignore the warnings. She must also now pay a $7,000 fine.

Never any outrage expressed when the shitheads choose to report it. Libs get all kinds of angry quotes and emotional stuff loaded into their writing. Not drawing any conclusion is also a form of bias.

Mr @GregAbbott_TX Its really an Injustice to force people to not work, then when they're starving and looking for food, you charge them with a crime and profit from it.

Im from the Gov and Im here to help. ~RR

I wonder if GoFundMe will cancel the funding now that the courts have convicted.

They know the infection rates are high in jails. Payback since she didn’t kiss the judges ass.

Good for her! She’s got more guts than most people I run into.

I wonder if the judge would mind if his contact information was disseminated on the web?
