On Tuesday, Texas may have created the anti-lockdown movement’s first martyr when a Dallas judge sentenced hairstylist Shelley Luther to a week in prison for the crime of trying to provide for her own and her employee’s families.
Texas is home to 28,995,881 people. It’s had 32,879 diagnosed Wuhan virus cases (that is, 0.11% of the population got diagnosed) and 890 virus deaths (0.003% of the population). Most of the cases are linked to nursing homes or people with co-morbidities. Even in nursing homes, though, things needn't be so dire. One doctor’s experiment shows that early intervention with the hydroxychloroquine cocktail can result in a 92% successful treatment rate.

Texas, it’s like a whole other country (without Constitutional rights)
urban hysteria infects even Texas...
Shouldn't she be nailing her objection to the courthouse door?
This virus is not an "emergency" in most states, certainly not to the point it should grant dictatorial power, but there are absolutely no checks or balances to the power these governors have seized, and refuse to release.
The judge is a democrat who is up for re-election this November. He is in a solidly democrat region, though. His first judgeship was an appointment by Ann Richards.
“Shouldn’t she be nailing her objection to the courthouse door?”
Only if she has 95 of ‘em.
No, not Texas. It was an ass clown Demonic Party scumbag named Clay Jenkins...
Where is your Governor?
Somebody should nail it to that filthy judges forehead.
Yeah, got the name. Can anyone post his pic?
This is beyond wrong. They’re letting criminals out of jail, and then jailing this woman who is trying to feed her family? Yes, I’m ready to protest and have never done so before.
$231,942 and rising.
nobody is forced to go to her salon, and yet the judge jenkins is forcing her to go to jail.
we live in a soft tyranny.
So what’s Abbott doing about all this nonsense? Hiding under his desk ane assuming the fetal position?
Please contact Governor Abbott TODAY urging him to immediately issue a full pardon to Shelly Luther. It was a gratuitous sentence by a petty Dallas tyrant made moot since the lockdown on salons is ending Friday anyway. Abbott needs to be swamped with expressions of outrage. We just made our contribution to that.
“Please contact Governor Abbott TODAY urging him to immediately issue a full pardon to Shelly Luther. “
She needs a high-profile lawyer. If she goes to court you will see them drop it really fast and scurry away. They’re getting away with this because no one is fighting it.
some states are releasing murderers, rapists, child molesters, and other assorted criminals. Some judges are ordering ICE to release illegal aliens caught breaking into our county. Now we have other judges and states arresting and imprisoning people who just want to go back to work to keep from starving. How pathetic is that?
As a “protestor” she does the name “Luther” the honor it is due.
