Nah. Her staff should be sending over deliveries of food to her and the cops ordered to hold her and all the other inmates in her holding cell, three times a day. "Delicious, mouth-watering food that the cops and inmates fall in love with. The fill-in manager and staff should get arrested, too, and join along, and others should take their place. When you're down to just customers, have one of them pass out pickles or dinner rolls to the others, ‘til he or she gets arrested. They should start singing patriotic songs and Negro spirituals. Satyagraha can be fun, when done in the company of friends."

Interesting idea, but it would require police to let the food in and restaurant staff with courage and the willingness to be locked up, too since the restaurant has been ordered closed.

It was ordered closed long ago. The police can refuse the food, and continue to subsist on stale donuts and bad coffee, while guarding the holding center from demonstrators who are offering them delicious food. Cops, of course, are known for their self-denial while fulfilling the orders of a tyrannical bitch./s

I’m taking my model from the civil rights movement. It didn’t take courage to go to jail back then. It became a spirit-lifting enjoyable gathering, and the sterile environment echoes with the sound of hymns. Now they can relive that. Instead of “freedom riders” they can all be freedom diners. It can’t fail. Distinguished chefs can volunteer to come in from around the world in order to freedom dine and spend a day in jail. It can be done in all the lockdown states.
