The Barber v Gov Half-Whit

It's continuing to get interesting as people react to the continued arbitrary lock down orders issued by Gov Whitmer.

There's already over 17 extant lawsuits over these executive orders - and they typiclaly come to an end as she backs off the particular arbitrary portion of the order that the litigant is suing her for enforcing - that's how and why the bans on motor boating, golf, and any real estate sales were resolved..

Barber Karl Manke of Owosso continues to cut hair in defiance of the shut down order.

This kind of defiance can't be tolerated.

After all, allowing the unionized automakers to start up their production lines with hundreds of people again is just fine, but a Barber allowing only one person in his shop at the time and sanitizing in between without being permitted under a new exception to the executive orders to do so -- Well, that really can't be allowed to stand.

Mr. Manke has been cited for violation the executive orders and  is facing a fine of at least $1,000.00.  We'll note Mr. Manke opened up after being unable to get any financial assistance during this shut down, including not being able to get unemployment form the state's woefully inadequate UI system.

He might as well just be charged with felony maiestas Whitmeri minuta - the crime of diminishing the majesty of governor Half-Whit.

Now Gov Half-Whit's confederate in arbitrary capriciousness, AG Dana Nessel, is also going after Mr. Manke and is threatening to send the Shiawassee County Sheriff after him.

The Shiawassee County Sheriff however has told both Gov Half-Whit and AG Nessel to go fly a kite.

He politely stated the Sheriff's department has unfortunately limited resources and  far more important and necessary life saving and protective activities to perform than to harass a barber.

Good on the Sheriff.
