Should Shelley Luther Serve Time for Opening Her Business?

On Tuesday Shelley Luther was sentenced to 7 days in jail and a $7,000 fine.
Shelley refused to apologize to the judge for opening her business.

The local authorities are punishing Shelley for wanting to save her business.
Good Lord, what has happened to our country?

Tonight a GoFundMe page was set up to raise money for Shelley Luther.
So far $92,000 has been raised for Shelley and her family.

The woman given a jail sentence for bravely refusing to close her small business has raised $80,000 from supporters.

I think governors are losing control of the narrative.
