A pizza business owner was released from jail after paying a $15,000 fine and closing her restaurant. What happened to the freedoms of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness?
The Mlive website reported Tuesday:
A judge has released Marlena Pavlos-Hackney from jail after she paid a $15,000 fine and closed her restaurant, Marlena’s Bistro & Pizzeria.
Pavlos-Hackey, 55, left the Ingham County Jail around 2 p.m. Tuesday, March 23, her attorney, Robert Baker, confirmed.
He said she had complied with a judge’s order and deserved to be released. She has been jailed since Friday, March 19. She was arrested that morning, presumably on her way to work…
…She was jailed after she ignored orders to close her restaurant, Marlena’s Bistro & Pizzeria, after the state in November banned indoor dining in response to the coronavirus pandemic.
She also did not require the use of mask or social distancing to slow the spread.
Fortunately, Pavlos-Hackey has a GoFundMe page where she has raised $253,000 of a $300,000 goal as of Tuesday.
The insane policies in Michigan seem to have been for naught as the state has one of the highest China Coronavirus rates in the nation. The Detroit Free Press shared this morning:
Michigan now has the second highest COVID-19 case rate per capita in the U.S., the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported Wednesday — the same day state health officials announced 4,454 new coronavirus cases, the biggest daily total this year.
It comes as the Michigan Health and Hospital Association sounded alarms Wednesday that the state’s hospitals are filling up with COVID-19 patients — marking a 633% rise in hospitalizations since March 1 among people ages 30-39 and an 800% increase among those 40-49 years old.
Of course, the number of reported new cases means nothing as we have learned over the past year as corrupted medical institutions like the CDC began bastardizing results and reports as soon as the China coronavirus landed in the US. In addition, not a single case of the China coronavirus was tied to Marlena\’s Bistro and Pizzeria.
Recently, Michigan’s governor Whitmer turned down nearly $350 million dollars in COVID Testing Funds because acceptance would have placed a limit on her emergency powers. Whitmer chose to have the dictatorial powers rather than the money to help Michiganians.
Like many other states, Michigan is run by a Democrat tyrant who was wrong and abusive in response to the China coronavirus. This chapter in US history is a very dark one.
Hope she sues and wins for selective prosecution.
I bet her attorney is saying Bring it on Michigan.
Yep...the Democrat party is all for the workers...NOT!
The usurping regime is anti-business, anti-independent and anti-American.
This is plain dripping evil. Satan knows his days are numbered and that he has willing accomplices to carry out his plans of destruction on this nation.
So sick of our lying, criminal, thug, unelected, unconstitutional, government bullying people.
Eminent Domain — if the government actually “takes” your property, then must provide just compensation.
However, if they merely shut you down, ruin your business, and jail you as a business owner, they can totally get away with it — AND squeeze you for $15,000.
If anyone knows of a reputable and genuine gofundme site for this lady please post it.
Restaurants are packed with customers here in Florida.
Floridians are not dropping dead like flies.
In an interview with Glenn Beck, Pavlos-Hackney explained that she escaped the Polish communist regime in 1983. She left Poland and traveled to Greece, where she lived in a refugee camp. Pavlos-Hackney said after applying, she was able to move to the United States in 1988. She became a citizen in 1992.She escaped communism once before.Pavlos-Hackney became a business owner in August 2000, according to state business records. She registered “Zante Inc” with the state of Michigan and originally named her business “The Salad Bowl Restaurant.” Records show she changed the name to “Marlena’s Bistro & Pizzeria” in 2013.
The Dems have made Mi. such a wonderful place to avoid...
It’s the type of tyranny that would drive an ordinary person to take scalps
Yep, Poland is much freer now than the US, even I’m considering moving there.
It's interesting that the places with the most restrictive lockdowns and mask mandates are doing the worst in cases.
And somehow, people just don't make the connection that they are not working.
the state is locked down with Michigan Medusa and Loch Nessie
“She escaped communism once before.”
Yes, but there is nowhere left to escape to now.
What sickens and shocks me the most about this covid scam is the fact that very few people are standing against it.
Our country is being destroyed, lives are being ruined, and the sheeple just continue following orders.
They’ve accepted the “new normal” without a fight.
