Sheriff rebels against governor: 'We will not be setting up a police state'

The coronavirus cannot kill the spirit of American defiance in the face of government orders Americans believe to be unjust, as shown by Scott Nichols, the sheriff of Franklin County, Maine.

Democratic Gov. Janet Mills on Friday issued an executive order that requires all out-of-state travelers to self-quarantine for 14 days to lessen the chance of transmitting coronavirus, according to the Portland Press-Herald. The order also tells would-be visitors not to come to Maine if they have symptoms of the virus. Violators could face up to six months in jail and $1,000 fine.

"We will not be setting up a Police State. PERIOD," he wrote.

"The Sheriff’s Office will not purposefully go out and stop vehicles because they are on the road or stop and ask why people are out and about. To do so puts our officers at risk. This is not Nazi Germany or Soviet Russia where you are asked for your papers!" he wrote.

I have several. But to most assclowns that need a lesson, it’s a waste of time. As Mark Twain said: “No amount of evidence will ever persuade and idiot.”

Same for persuading a women that she's wrong! 😁

This will start like this in one or two places and snowball into a widespread pushback, if not revolt.

I'm there now. When this started I suspected it was over-hyped. I haven't seen one real stat that has changed my mind. I have seen a stream of increasingly shrill BS spewed by the MSM that leads me to believe most of the hoopla around the virus is very intentional FUD. Prediction, when this is all said and done for the US this is going to look like nothing more than a particularly bad flu season.

I shoot, but only so I can defend myself. Nothing against hunting, just not my thing.

How about fishing?

No, I prefer spending a nice summer day riding motorcycles

I’m not subscribing to this lunacy. Social distancing? Fine. But I’m driving where I want, when I want.

Just about every day that it's nice, I'm out on my motorcycle. Screw the bedwetters. They are the only things making me sick.

We only get 300 days of bike weather here.

Seen reports of people having these ‘golden passes’ in our local area ...

One of my neighbors has a "golden pass" affixed to their rear left car window. It is very official-looking. It proclaims that the driver is a health care worker (true) and entitled to travel without restrictions within the State.

This State does not yet have travel restrictions. They are clearly preparing to impose them soon if they can do so without open revolt.

[kevslisababy]

That’s just mean.....We get maybe 160-180

I’m in Ft. Lauderdale, where are you located?

Good for You Sheriff Nichols !!! Sounds like You might need to send a note to the goobinater reminding it that The County Sheriff IS the Top LEO in the County that We the People Elected Them to the Office of Sheriff.

It will be interesting to see if We make it to the point of beating this ACT OF WAR by the chicoms & camelrapingragheadterrorscum with out having to Water the Tree of Liberty in the middle of this mess.
