Martin “Modey” Hicks, the mayor of Grants, New Mexico, has had enough of the mandate that businesses remain closed in the name of countering coronavirus. Russell Contreras reported last week at the Associated Press that Hicks, in defiance of an ongoing shutdown order from New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham, “said he’s giving businesses permission to reopen on Monday and is ordering the police force in the city of about 9,000 people to prevent any State Police officers from issuing lockdown violation citations.”
Contreras reports that 81 businesses in Grants had “signed a petition calling for the reopening of the city.” And it seems that Hicks is adamant in his effort to ensure this desire can be acted on. Contreras writes:

The Mayor
Reminds me of a slightly deranged Burl Ives with bed head...or Jeff Bridges’ manic brother that he never talks about....
I’m glad he is intervening to save small business in the area.
Sounds like his police force is behind him. He is one in a million in this cowardly wasteland called America. I noticed a Walmart on the outskirts of town.
How long before the tolerant MSM declares that Hicks is a hick and shouldn’t be able to offer an opinion?
He should be talking to the Sheriff of his county. That is where the power is to defy the State.
Sounds like the town was enduring very tough times prior to the world wide panic.
“He should be talking to the Sheriff of his county. That is where the power is to defy the State”.
That’s right. County sheriffs are more powerful than most people realize.
I’ll take your word for it. I won’t give CBS the time of day, much a less a hit on their site.
Yeah, that guy looks like he belongs in Grants. That place is a pit. Good for him.
To bad there aren’t more mayors like Hick’s.
He did wake up a little late... now it’s TOO LATE!

The anarchist’s are now in command, watch them shut the country down....gonna get VERY UGLY.
Sounds like beginnings of CW II
I saw a bunch of Communist sonsabitches in those videos.
But I disagree that they are now in command.
We’re in for some kind of SHTF events. Our side has a whole lot of pent up anger and it won’t be pretty for the anarchist/Antifa types. Soros will keep them stirred up until too many are sick of getting their asses kicked.
