The judge told Shelley Luther she didn’t have to go to jail.
The owner of Salon À la Mode in Dallas had been operating her business despite a temporary restraining order last week from Dallas County State District Judge Eric Moyé. She kept operating despite a county official’s cease-and-desist letter ordering her to close — a letter she ripped up before a crowd of protesters in a theatrical display of defiance during an Open Texas rally in Frisco, Tex., on April 25.
“Come and get it, Judge Clay Jenkins,” she said, referencing the top county official as she threw shreds of his letter to the crowd, the Dallas Morning News reported.
As Luther faced criminal and civil contempt-of-court charges, Moyé offered her a chance to make things right: She had to admit her actions were selfish and wrong and that she would follow the law.
On every condition, Luther refused.
“I have to disagree with you, sir, when you say that I’m selfish, because feeding my kids is not selfish,” she said in court Tuesday, CBS DFW reported. “I have hair stylists that are going hungry because they’d rather feed their kids. So, sir, if you think the law is more important than kids getting fed, then please go ahead with your decision, but I am not going to shut down the salon.”

What she did took courage, but it doesn’t hurt that she’s young and attractive.
Have any journalists asked J. Wylie Price about this situation?
EVERY SINGLE BUSINESS OWNER IN SOLIDARITY SHOULD BE AT HIS PERSONAL DOOR STEP EACH NIGHT CHANTING UNTIL SHE IS SET FREE AND HER BUSINESS IS OPEN
I saw the video of her court appearance. The judge wouldn’t look at her. Chicken sh^t.
The open revolt against liberal judges is just beginning.
It would be nice if Abbott and Paxton actually took ACTION instead of just tweeting and making scornful statements. It might save a few hundred thousand Texans a trip over to surround the jail.
She sounds like Hank Rearden.
Someone should DOX this judge’s home and offices so that 24/7 peaceful civil protests can take place.
When did it become a crime in America go out to work hard to feed your own children?
Even The Soviet Union under Joseph Stalin wanted everyone especially women to work hard for the greater glory of the country.
WTH is Greg Abbott doing about all this sh*t?
END THE LOCKDOWNS NOW!
So sayeth the Washington ComPost.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton Calls For ‘Immediate Release’ Of Jailed Dallas Salon Owner Shelley Luther
FR Comments: https://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3842300/posts?page=1
Governor Abbott backs him up.
A Governor and an AG “calling for” her release? The hell with “calling for”. Send the damned local Texas Ranger over and ORDER them to release her.
If they don’t a few hundred thousand Texans might just do it for them. If the leaders won’t lead, we need to do it for them and shut that jail DOWN.
Every FReeper must take 26 minutes to watch this compelling video.
The crime she was charged with had to do with an Executive order of the Governor, that the Governor gave specifics that were not to be done. He can direct this without the Legislature. It was written by the Governor.
“TX AG Paxton just ordered the Judge to release her!! “
What order?
She is a hero!
Amen! Wish I lived in the Dallas area so I could patronize her business.
Does she have a GoFundMe page to help pay that ridiculous $7,000 (?) fine?
In the longer version of the video of his demand and refusal to bow and capitulate he comes within an inch of saying “Get this b$%#h out of here “
@ 6:20 of this video

She is already Beautiful and Statuesque....
