The Resistance Gathers...

 First in Nashville, where a business went to the trouble to manufacture and install this on their front door.



Then, in good ol' Stockton, CA., the state, seeking to oppress a small business in that town, found out to their dismay, I'm sure, that the local authorities would not help them.  This includes the local DA, who will not prosecute.

Pomp Hair Salon in Stockton California was raided by state officials who cited the salon for continuing operations [media story here].  The subsequent misdemeanor citation comes from the state.  However, local law enforcement and county prosecution say they will not participate in the enforcement mechanism.

This creates an unusual dynamic as the state has threatened to revoke licenses for the salon and the workers; but what “enforcement” action could the state undertake?



It is so much easier to enforce the law on people who are natural law abiders.  Enforced on people who habitually pay the taxes and professional fees that fund the pensions these police enjoy.

The rock solid pillars of the community, and indeed the state itself.

  Already many local police entities, recognizing this dynamic, are, like here, refusing to obey, but the authorities more distant from the daily life we all lead are still attempting to enforce compliance. But the day will come, if the idiot politicians have their way, when folk like those you see here, and that includes this policeman, turn and bite back, and when that day comes...
