Texas has slowly begun reopening its businesses, but not included in their reopening plan are salons.

You've probably heard the story because it's kind of nuts. A salon owner refused to shut down,

opened in defiance of the state and was actually arrested. A judge ordered her to apologize,

and she said no, that she has kids to feed, that her employees have have kids to feed as well,

and she will not apologize for running her business to feed her family, and she didn't think

she did anything wrong. While the lieutenant governor Dan Patrick is defending her, offering to pay

her $7,000 fine, we're also here that the Texas attorney general tells the judge he's out of touch

about how absolutely insane this story is. I kid you not. A woman said, my workers, my friends,

my family, they need support. We are going hungry. I will run my business and I won't apologize for

that. And they decided she should go into the jail. Now think about this for a few seconds.

If they're concerned is that the people in the jail will contract coronavirus. Would it not be cruel

and unusual punishment to put someone willfully into that place? Maybe not. Fine. But you think about

the severity of the actions she's taken. She was opening her business. That's it. But most of the

most shocking thing of all, she didn't go to jail because she opened her business. Look at the
