Texas beautician defies the law. She gets media coverage. |
Republicans only support Blue Lives Matter when Black people protests cops shooting unarmed people of color.
Republicans only support the rule of law when Black people are arrested for drugs, traffic offenses and indictments of violent crimes.
Republicans only support government handouts when it affect their bottom line, their campaign donors, their political allies (foreign and domestic) and the companies that donate to the party.
When it comes to being White in America, you're likely gonna get the "white" type of coverage.
If you're Black in America, expect your encounters with police, your personal life, your social media and your life to be scrutinized.
The far-white continues to defy the stay-at-home orders. A beautician was released from the county lockup after defied a state mandated order to stay shutdown. This happened in of all places, Texas.
The Dallas judge that locked her up was ordered the Texas Supreme Court her to be released.
This woman named Shelley Luther who is getting attention for defying the order.
County judge Eric Moye gets flack from Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. Wondering why? I guess it's not the robe that's Black around here. The judge got death threats because of this. |
Now they're making this white extremist a pariah of the far-white's push to open up the government despite the 80,000 Americans dying from COVID-19.
The coronavirus has put a huge impact on the country. More than 20.5 million people have lost their jobs in the April jobs report. Overall, there's over 33.5 million Americans out of the labor force.
Luther was placed in the county lockup after defying a court order to have her business shut down during the pandemic. She won praise from notable annoyances like "Sucker" Tucker Carlson, Laura Ingraham, Sean "Softball" Hannity, Sarah Palin, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. They have rallied Gov. Greg Abbott to respond to the controversy.
The police confront white privilege. |
Throwing Texans in jail whose biz's shut down through no fault of their own is wrong.— Greg Abbott (@GregAbbott_TX) May 7, 2020
I am eliminating jail for violating an order, retroactive to April 2, superseding local orders.
Criminals shouldn’t be released to prevent COVID-19 just to put business owners in their place.
Shelley Luther should immediately be released from jail. Locking her up is a misguided abuse of power, especially considering Dallas County released real criminals to “protect them from COVID-19.”— Attorney General Ken Paxton (@KenPaxtonTX) May 6, 2020
Release her now so she can return to her family. pic.twitter.com/67KrhQBEyf
Supporters chanted "Shelley's free! Shelley's free!" as Luther, wearing a face covering, stepped out of the Dallas County Jail.
"I just want to thank all of you who I just barely met, and now you're all my friends," Luther told supporters. "You mean so much to me. This would have been nothing without you. Thank you so, so much."
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) wants attention. So he visits the controversial hairstylist beauty salon for a cut. |
Abbott, who was at the White House on Thursday to meet with President Donald Trump, said Luther and two other women from Texas didn't deserve to be locked up.
Now if this was a Black woman who was defying the stay-at-home or social distancing order, they've would have been arrested, shot, or beaten to a bloody pulp.
