Dallas, Texas salon owner Shelley Luther has become the face of the movement to free the nation from the oppressive lockdowns imposed by despotic governors and mayors.
She is a modern-day Rosa Parks, but more on that in a moment.
An inspiration in these dark times to patriotic Americans who yearn to have their most basic constitutional rights respected, Luther was sentenced to seven days in jail on May 5 for daring to open her salon despite emergency decrees mandating the continued forced closure of businesses like hers that have arbitrarily been deemed non-essential.
But Luther was liberated May 7 after the Supreme Court of Texas ordered her released “pending final disposition of this case.” On May 8, Texas will allow hair salons to reopen with conditions.
The judicial process against Luther moved with the alarming speed of a drumhead court-martial.
According to a somewhat ungrammatical Judgment of Contempt and Order of Confinement signed May 5 by 14th Judicial District Court Judge Eric Moyé, Luther and her business, S&B Hot Mess Enterprises LLC, doing business as Salon A La Mode, violated a temporary restraining order dated April 28 that directed the salon to cease operating.
She bravely refused to shutter the salon, saying she (and her employees) needed to work to feed their families.
Luther was sentenced to seven days imprisonment for criminal contempt and seven days for civil contempt, with the sentences to run concurrently. Her business was ordered to pay $500 a day for criminal contempt for the 7 days as “they [sic] willfully violated the Order of this Court.” The business was also ordered to pay an additional $500 a day for civil contempt “for each day from this day forward during which the Salon remains in operation from the date of the Temporary Restraining Order

The nanny state media is grinding their teeth.
Let them grind em down to their gums
A fine Texas lady.
“Rosa Parks didn’t do nothin’ but sit her black a__ down.”
Interesting comparison with Rosa Parks. In this instance, the victim is white and the judge is black.
According to a somewhat ungrammatical...”
He’s a Harvard Jurisdiction Doctor, so, uh, how can that be?
Funny, I thought exactly the same thing last night.
Let’s see her on a postage stamp.
Yea, but when they start naming streets after her, they will be safe to walk down.
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. (An old, old saying.)
When they piss off beauty salon gals, and that’s what they’ll yak about with their customers for the next year...
I guess gals can have enough of being nannied. Good!
She will be busy with more heads than she can cut.
Imagine the reverse - no white judge would dare have done that.
Let's hope the people vote him OUT.
Hope she and her fam do well.
Parks refused to yield her seat to a white passenger on a segregated bus...”
Rosa Parks wasn’t your old granny finally having had enough. She had the backing of the Communist Party USA. If I recall they put her up to it. The LAST thing the CPUSA wanted was an end to and healing of racial division in America.
The more I read / hear about this lady, the more I like her.
Just who is it that can decide a business to be non-essential? Especially when a beauty salon is said to have to close,but liquor stores, tattoo parlors, marijuana sales, etc. can remain open. Any or all of these may be considered essential from the standpoint of providing income to sustain a person or family. In many cases, it would seem the sole deciding factor was based on the amount of tax the state would receive from that business remaining open.
She has to be dead for 10 years. Let’s not
“Affirmative action”
It’s defined his whole career
And as far as the fine that was levied against her, she’s got a GoFundMe page that’s well over $400,000 (as last I saw). I don’t think she’ll need to worry about that.
Now, was the judge in question elected or appointed? I know I saw a picture of him with his “good friend” Obama.
