The Texas woman who went to jail rather than keep her hair salon closed during government-imposed COVID lockdowns may soon have some power to affect government policy now that she has won her local state House primary.
In 2020, Shelley Luther made national headlines after she was arrested and sentenced to spend a week in jail for criminal contempt of court after she reopened her Dallas hair salon in defiance of Republican Gov. Greg Abbott's stay-at-home orders. Dallas County Judge Eric Moye offered her the chance to avoid jail time as long as she paid thousands of dollars in fines, shut down her salon once again, and formally apologized for her "selfish" actions.
"I have hairstylists that are going hungry because they would rather feed their kids," she told Judge Moye. "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 the salon."

I’m not excusing her. I just understand the psychology. Men who marry too young will tend to have affairs.
Trump stood by far ci day after day and he told us we were locked down. Then he signed blank checks FR big pharma.
Be honest with yourself.. would you have worn a mask and hid at home if pelosi, Obama or Biden told you to?
The only way the dems get their tyranny is by trump talking.
This is the problem. Same with him blessing McCarthy over more fiscally conservatives.
He is the reason you did those things. I bet you were silent when he banned bumpstocks also.
The republicans we have elected and continue to endorse destructive Marxists ideologies.
I understand.
It won’t make much sense to you since you don’t personally know me, but when I “wave my hands” about morals or behavior, we’re in trouble.
To be clear, I’m not waving. It is just very common for too-young married people to rebel at some point because of what they missed out because they married so young. That’s why teen marriages should be discouraged.
Her punishment is the embarrassment. If it caused her to realize how foolish she was, it is too her good.
We do. Nearly 100% of the new area (Franklin County) that was recently annexed within District 62 are hard core, God fearing, bible toting, gun carrying, MAGA conservatives who are thrilled to have Shelley being well on her way to being elected as our representative. The chance of her winning in November is greater than 90 to 1. This is MAGA Country!
I agree with that.
Despite all the good he has done, Abbott should be in jail, if not hanged, for the lockdowns.
“I have hairstylists that are going hungry because they would rather feed their kids,” she told Judge Moye. “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 the salon.”
An example to us all. And yes, the same challenges are coming our way.
Please oh please provide link showing Trump “told us we were locked down”
Nanzi said she was "set-up" after being caught in a hair salon.
“Never let a crisis go to waste.”
>Good for her. Can she have the judge’s property condemned and burned to the ground<
Seized under eminent domain for a small statue of Fauci would be perfect. Pigeons need a place to sit.
EC
That would be perfect.
Or occultists like Nancy Reagan in the White House?
What office was Nancy elected to?
Hair today
Gov tomorrow
I hear Crickets
Lol
Wouldn’t be surprised if same poster thinks Trump ordered Jan 6.
Check her shirt. A hair dryer with the logo; "Come and take it"...
