Insane, tyrannical judge sentences female coffee shop owner to 90 days in jail for staying open
Wanna see what total misery unhinged, dictatorial, autocratic Democrat assholes are already inflicting on ordinary citizens for violating insane lockdown orders by dictatorial Democrat governors?
Actually you don't, cuz unless you're a Democrat it'll make your blood-pressure go up. But you need to see what they're doing.
Like the governors of virtually all Democrat-ruled states, when da Chyna virus hit, the demented governor of Minnesota (Tim Walz) ordered all restaurants closed. One owner of a coffee shop defied that order.
Now a shit-head, autocrat judge has sentenced that owner to 90 days in jail, and a $1,000 fine.
That's crazy enough, but even crazier is the arrogant way the judge berated the owner, sentencing her to far more jail time than the idiot prosecutor recommended.
All the charges against the owner were misdemeanors. Normally a misdemeanor is like speeding or littering--doesn't warrant jail time. But this judge said he wanted to "teach her a lesson."
The verdict of guilty was straightforward. The city prosecutor recommended 10 days in jail and a $500 fine – AND the added, gratuitous thumb in the eye of ordering the owner not to hold a farewell celebration that local supporters had planned for her. (What conceivable legal authority allows THAT ORDER?)
The prosecutor told the judge that the owner believes the law does not apply to her and was an ongoing public safety risk, she said. She objected to the prosecutor's claim that she was a public safety risk.
The judge told the owner “You were a public risk because you kept your business open.” He said the owner "took advantage of the COVID-19 restaurant shutdowns by being the only store open." “You just wanted to make money during a global pandemic,” he sneered.
The clearly angry judge told the restaurant owner he was going to teach her a lesson. “You don’t want to recognize our law. I will send a message to the community that executive orders are law.” He then sentenced the owner to the 90 days in jail--80 days MORE than the city prosecutor had recommended--, and fined her $1,000.
When Hanson asked for a more detailed explanation of the sentencing the judge said “You’re your own counsel, so figure it out.”
Hanson has yet to be tried for the remaining three misdemeanors, two additional counts of violating emergency orders, and one count of public nuisance. Hanson could spend up to nine months in jail and be fined an additional $3,000 for those charges.
As Hanson was led away by deputies following the sentencing, she raised her hand and stated, “Liberty and freedom.”
The case is Melissa Hanson v. the State of Minnesota, No. 24-CR-21-137 in Freeborn County District Court, Minnesota.
There's only one remedy for this sort of judicial tyranny. The Founders knew it. We've forgotten it.
