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

I wrote yesterday “Shelley Luther is today’s contemporary Rosa Parks.” on another blog.
People reminded me that Rosa Parks was specifically chosen to did what she did (btw, that does not discount Parks’ courageous act) as PR stunt. Rosa Parks had backers/influencers, ready to bail out Parks. She spent not one night in jail back then.
Shelley Luther is a whole ‘nother category. Alas, in today’s Leftsphere, Shelley Luther does not count.
Just love the fact that they stuck it right up this racist arrogant smug radical judges a##. If she were black it would be a different story, you can bet on it!
“...The judicial process against Luther moved with the alarming speed of a drumhead court-martial. ...”
Of COURSE it would move with “alarming speed”; Can’t have us peons getting out of hand now, can they?
History has shown that all it takes is ONE ballsy, desperate, pissed-off Citizen to stand up to them, and more and more folks suddenly take notice.
The judge needs to slapped down and back into his place. Hard.
I’d say Shelly needs to change her name to “Spartacus” for a little bit, just to shove it in the judge’s face - and by extension, the face of every other Leftist piece of garbage trying to stop people from earning a living.
For the record, Allen West was representing Florida when he was a "former Congressman."
He relocated to Texas a few years ago and recently became involved in Texas politics.

“A fine Texas lady.”
I think that when a “fine Texas lady” is instructed to admit that she’s selfish ... um ... them’s fightin’ words. That probably put her over the edge. Thank heaven. She brought some needed attention to government over-reach in this whole situation.
Never mess with hairdressers named Tiffany, I mean Shelley.
Luther reminds me of Katy Abrams, the woman who spoke at an Arlen Specter town hall meeting about Obamacare and TARP:
I am a Republican, but I am first and foremost a conservative.I don't believe this is just about health care. It's not about TARP, it's not about left and right. This is about the systematic dismantling of this country.
I'm only 35 years old, I've never been interested in politics. You have awakened the sleeping giant.
We are tired of this. This is why everybody in this room is so ticked off. I don't want this country turning into Russia, turning into a socialized country.
My question for you is, what are you going to do to restore this country back to what the Founders created according to the Constitution?
Abrams is seen at the end of the clip shouting something at Specter, but she's drowned out by the cheers of the crowd.

Two things..
A shame no other business owners had the cojones to join her in opening.
And.. I heard on TV that a ‘Go Fund Me’ account had collected 1/2 Mil $$ for her.
Interested to see how she spends/distributes it.
Thanks for the clip.
Well, Arlen Specter! ‘Nuff said.
Rosa Parks was specifically chosen to did do what she did...
Darn, too early in the morning.
** I heard on TV that a ‘Go Fund Me’ account had collected 1/2 Mil $$ for her.

She said last night on Hannity that a lot of the hair stylists she utilizes were behind in their rent and or mortgage payments. I wouldn’t be surprised if she helps them out.
I’m hoping she helps them out.
I realized that after it was published. But it’s not wrong. He is NOW a Texas Republican.
