Judge: "Madam, Are you trying to show contempt for this court?"
Mae West: "No, Judge, I'm trying VERY hard to CONCEAL it"

A South New Jersey gym was shuttered Monday and its two owners arrested, escalating a battle over the two men's refusal to comply with Gov. Phil Murphy’s coronavirus restrictions.
A judge on Friday ordered Atilis gym owners Ian Smith and Frank Trumbetti to vacate and cease operations in Bellmawr, N.J.
They were charged Monday with disobeying that order, Acting Camden County Prosecutor Jill Mayer said.
She said Smith, 33, of Delanco Township, and Trumbetti, 51, of Williamstown, were charged with one count of fourth-degree contempt, one count of obstruction, and one count of violation of a disaster control act.

It will be thrown out .............
Are these the same two guys who were in the news in May just before the riots started?
Tyrant Governors flexing their stupidity.
Yeah, and the cops arrested someone just using the gym in May. Their excuse? We’re just following orders. I don’t know how the cops can live with themselves.
“Contempt” of what?
What Penal Code section covers ignoring a tinpot tyrant?
We do need some kind of court case that will let us know if we now live in a dictatorship or if limited government and the rule of law still have a place in society.
It is Jersey the Soprano State so don’t get your hopes up.
just doing our jobs....like the kings guards brutalizing the peasants, the east german border guards, concentration camp guards....etc....
"Contempt" is a judge-power. It is inherent in being a judge. There is no trial, no crime, just jail for not following judge orders.
There is a time limit to the incarceration, but the time limit is "flexible," depending on the cause for a holding the actor in contempt. Six months is a pretty firm outside boundary no matter what.
Yep.
Set a police station and courthouse on fire, nothing.
Open a gym, arrest them.
This is anarcho-tyranny, plain and simple.
I sure hope sh!t like this makes things heat up ... as our federal government is doing little to defend the Constitution or to honor their oaths.
And Jersey reflexively votes Rat!
Bet they still will!
“Contempt” of what?

Exactly, cite the law they were in violation of...
Shut down a gym with 10 people in it is OK. Let 200 people march down the street hand in hand, no problem with Covid there.
” I don’t know how the cops can live with themselves.”
They have no problem with it whatsoever. I was refueling a Tennessee Highway Patrol drug enforcement helicopter and I asked the trooper about the FLIR he used and if he ever made any mistakes. He said that any house that showed too much light got reported. I asked him ‘what if they’re innocent’ and he said he didn’t care. He also told me they weren’t flying in East Tennessee anymore because they got shot at too much. Arrogant, cocky, asshole of the first degree.
If they had a “Black Lives Matter” sign in their window, they would have been left alone.
“This is anarcho-tyranny, plain and simple.”
They know they can get away with it.
see, the state couldn’t actually arrest them and put them in jail, but the unelected judiciary has that power.
