North Carolina County to Defy Governor’s Stay-at-Home Orders, Reopen Businesses
Breitbart ^ | 29 Apr 2020 | HANNAH BLEAU

Posted on 04/29/2020 5:06:29 PM PDT by xzins

Officials in North Carolina’s Gaston County announced on Wednesday their intention to sign an order allowing businesses in the county to reopen, effective April 29 at 5:00 p.m., despite Gov. Roy Cooper’s (D) extended stay-at-home orders.

Commission Chairman Tracy Philbeck made the announcement Wednesday morning, stating that county leaders are “letting our folks know we support them going back to work.”

“We’re going to put our people to work and we’re going to do it in a health-minded way,” Philbeck said.

“We have learned that social distancing works. We’ve learned that with strict sanitation, strict hygiene, it works,” he continued, adding that county leaders believe Gaston County “can do both,” noting that the state’s one size fits all approach does not make sense, particularly for his county.

Per the Charlotte Observer:

The order says vulnerable people should continue to stay home. Other people should keep their distance from others, it says, and avoid gatherings of 10 or more where social distancing isn’t practical. Employers should continue to encourage telework.

Schools and youth activities that are now closed should stay closed, the order says, and bars remain closed. But the order allows theaters, restaurants, churches, sporting venues and gyms to operate with social distancing and elective surgeries to resume.

A large volume of civil disobedience across the country regarding corona would send a powerful message.

Literally millions of people have been placed into a position of civil disobedience vs destruction of livelihood.

United Civil Disobedience Day (UCDD)! (Mother’s Day or before!)

Left wing judges, governors, mayors and police chiefs are non essential for real Americans.

A measure of what a media bubble governors and even lowly mayors and bureaucrats live in.

They’ve received unalloyed media praise for their control freakery,..their egos prevent them from understanding that life must resume.

I’m not sure all this “thothial dithstanthing” actually serves any useful purpose, other than to create a really annoying cliche and reinforce the concept of control through separating Americans from each other.

Be that as it may, it’s encouraging to see these protests spring up all over the country. They’ve remained non-violent (on the citizens’ part, anyway), and it looks as if more and more people are waking up and remembering basic mathematics. Namely, that there are A LOT more of “us” than there are of “them”. Will watch developments with cautious optimism and great interest.

No, the Nuremberg defense was ruled invalid a long time ago.

That woman being arrested doesn’t look like she is resisting.

Why are they doing this?

It looks like me & Mrs BN may make the 40 mile run down to Gastonia for a Friday night date-night restaurant meal!

‘Bout time!
