They don't really care whether the truth gets out, because the public no longer knows what's meant by "the truth."

Well, I mean, no one can tell the difference anymore between what's real and what's fake.

Anyway, the point is, I can tell you all of this, right out in the open, because it doesn't matter who knows about it. They won't know whether to believe it or not.-

I see that the judge isn't a human, it all makes sense now. If you put trained monkeys in these positions this is to be expected.

Covid-19 is a hoax.

This is war on small business.

You will not be able to support yourself.
You will loose your business.
The govt will not guarantee anything.

Absolute BS. This judge should be brought up on charges.

1. He jailed her not for opening the salon, but for defying his 'order' of not closing the shop.
2. He gave her the chance not to go to jail by apologizing for being 'selfish'.
3. She is in jail now where the are over 200 COVID cases. This could be signing her death warrant.

This is not America. This judge needs to be put in this same jail on charges for taking away someone's personal liberties. I hope someone can do this to show these elected, know nothing judges with POWER TRIPS that they can't just go around jailing people.

Coastie, as much as I respect ya, I have to correct you on this post. Ms. Luther wasn't jailed for opening her salon in defiance of county and state orders, which clearly stated at the time, that salons will not be allowed to open until May 8th. She was arrested and subsequently placed in jail for defying not one, but two temporary restraining orders, which in America is called contempt.

The timeline is as follows. On April 24th the following was made very clear on the issue of salon opening dates by state and county officials:

Texas Governor Greg Abbott's state order and Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins orders both state that along with several other small businesses types, salons may not open until May 8th, 2020.

“The most dangerous places are salons and gyms. The CDC makes that clear, the doctors advising me make that clear,” the governor said.Gov. Abbott also said there are consequences for violating the order.

“And so those would-be situations where people who open up those types of businesses, they're subject to having their license revoked and forever not being able to reopen their businesses again,” Gov. Abbott explained.

Despite county orders from Judge Clay Jenkins to stay at home, and state orders from Gov. Abbott that non-essential businesses must stay closed, Ms. Luther decided to open her salon, doing so a full two weeks ahead of Gov. Abbotts May 8th date reopen date for her small business type

Later that day, Ms. Luther was cited by Dallas County for opening her salon before state and county orders and guidelines. After failing to comply with the enforcement officers, and thus close her salon, Ms. Luther that day received the first of two cease and desist orders from Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins which in part stated:

“Note that a violation of this order during a pandemic may be punished criminally as a misdemeanor or enforced by civil action pursuant to the order.”

FACT: April 25th, Ms. Luther blatantly tore up the cease and desist order and citation in front of news cameras, as well as her supporters and detractors.

FACT: April 27th, Texas Governor Greg Abbott restates that among other small businesses, salons in Texas were not permitted to reopen until May 8th as part of statewide and national effort to slow or stop the spread of Covid-19.
[link to www.wfaa.com (secure)]

FACT: April 28th Ms. Luther receives a second citation from Dallas County, as well as a temporary restraining order from Texas District Judge Eric Moyé. The TRO from Judge Moyé stated that Ms. Luther must close her salon until May 12th, a full four days after Gov. Abbotts May 8th order is set to expire and not be renewed or extended.

[link to www.wfaa.com (secure)]

FACT: April 29th Ms. Luther receives another citation as well as a second temporary restraining order from Judge Moyé. She again states that her store would remain open stating:

“If they arrest me. I have someone who will keep the store open,” said Luther.

[link to www.wfaa.com (secure)]

FACT: May 1st, the City of Dallas asks for a hearing to prove that Ms. Luther was in violation of Judge Moyé.

FACT: May 5th, Ms. Luther was found in contempt by Judge Moyé for failing to abide by his restraining orders and close her salon. She was sentenced to 7 days in jail, of which she is still serving her sentence.

[link to www.wfaa.com (secure)]

If Ms. Luther had abided by the first citation and closed her salon, then she would not have received a cease and desist order. She would not have received a second citation. She would not have received a temporary restraining order. She would not have gone to jail. And so she would not be facing the potential of tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines, fees, and legal expenses. These were all choices that Ms. Luther made, rather than comply with orders to keep her and the public at large safe.

Therefore, Ms. Luther broke the law, and she received the appropriate sentencing for it. Oh, and in case you ask about the laws surrounding contempt, here is some light reading for you.
