It doesnt come as a shock but it is ridiculous in the extreme. A Dallas County Texas salon owner has been sentenced to a week in jail for defying the order to keep her business closed. I couldnt feed my family and my stylists couldnt feed their families Ms. Shelly Luther testified. The court didnt care.
The stakes are escalating daily as economic desperation takes over and the oppressive hand of the authoritarian government officials refuse to loosen their grip on their new found power over the population. Confrontation is likely to get much worse quickly.
TEXAS A Dallas salon owner will spend a week in jail after she was found in contempt of court Tuesday for violating a court order to close her salon during the coronavirus pandemic.
In addition to the jail time, Shelley Luther was fined at least $3,500 for continuing to operate her business, Salon à la Mode, in violation of a temporary restraining order issued against the business.
Like other businesses deemed nonessential, Luthers Far North Dallas salon was forced to close March 22 after Dallas County enacted its stay-at-home order. She reopened the salon on April 24 despite that order, and tore up a cease-and-desist letter from Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins at a demonstration the following day.

Yep....Gov Abbott rolled out the welcome mat for CAs fleeing their destroyed state....so that they can infect TX with the same liberalism they fled :(
Actually you can thank Rick Perry for that.
It began w/Perry, but Abbott opened the doors (highways) even wider.
Protest about this at the courthouse at 10 am if intersted
I’m 4 hours away.
So this Dallas judge just HAD to follow the law and jail her.
Meanwhile, in California, a court ruled the the DOES deny distribution of COVID relief money to illegals, but OVERRULED that law because there was a public interest in sending tax money to illegal aliens during the coronavirus crisis.
Judicial Watch: It is astonishing that a court would allow a public official to ignore the law and spend tax money with no legal authority.
Gofundme page for her is over $185,000 so far.
Yep, Still More ComDem Insanity! In defiance of the Rule of Law.
Thank you, looks like I missed putting the source URL in when I posted it.
It is confusing to go to the Dallas Morning News and a referenced article from the internal links.
Sorry.
Hope Admin can fix it.
I just checked, almost $190k.
Texas, not so different after all.
Go Fund me bump.
“It got Californicated.”
The whole country.
Correct. It is still Texas. And we have some supporters outside the Lone Star State.

Rule of men rather than rule of law.
If youll remember, Dallas is the city where the DA decided that thefts under $750 wouldnt be prosecuted. But try to earn an honest living, and you will be.
Verify?
Yep. Black Robbed ComDem Despot.
