CO Business Says Screw It, We’re Reopening

[Weatherman2020]

God Bless him. America is on the brink of revolution, will our government learn or go King George and dig their heels in?

Sedalia knife shop owner Hal Van Herke on Tuesday posted a Declaration of Business Independence on Facebook saying he would reopen CastleGate Knife and Tool Tuesday in defiance of Governor Polis’ stay-at-home order.

Van Herke’s declaration says in part:

“WHEREAS: Small businesses have carried the burden of this effort more heavily than special interests, large corporations and major banks who once again received preferential treatment and largess from the Federal Government at the further cost of small business tax payers, and

WHEREAS: Non-essential Government, Academic, and Corporate staff continue to remain unconscionably fully paid at the same time that Small Business, the Self Employed and the Unemployed suffer, and

WHEREAS: Our attempts at petition and righteous redress, to Our Government has fallen on uncaring ears, and in some cases has been actively suppressed, and

WHEREAS: We refuse to become second-class citizens, beholden to the entitled class for our safety, freedom, and wellbeing, and

WHEREAS: We have the ability to operate our business in such a manner as to reduce and mitigate the risk to our Community, Customers, and Staff, and to adjust operations in a responsible and balanced manner commensurate with local conditions.”

“I hope we once again have reminded people that man is not free unless government is limited. There's a clear cause and effect here that is as neat and predictable as a law of physics: As government expands, liberty contracts.” Ronald Reagan.

Interesting. So some "patriot" declares his own manifesto and defies the instructions of the government assigned to oversee the general public good.

Don't you right wingers refer to that as sedition?

How dare someone question the gov't.

He would make a good Brit. Maybe Tommy's boyfriend.

California is in rebellion as well. Sheriffs in some counties are refusing to cite business. Defiant hospitals are scheduling surgeries. The beaches are full.

If Gay Gavin Gruesome Newsom wants a.fight he can have one.

Good for him! It's hard to believe this happened in the heavily Dem-infested state of Colorado.

It doesn't affect my good and I'm very much a member of the public.

He's free to open his business, you're free not to patronize it.

I live in the most Red area in the state. Newsflash, Bucky: Most people support the long term closure and distancing here. Only "The Party of the Rump" wants to go in the direction of opening up things too early just because some fruitcake wants to.

That'd be a long drive for me to patronize it. He's free to open his business. Just as his city or state government is free to penalize him if he does.

This is going viral.... I can see this one lighting up the whole mess in areas who want the damage to continue.

Just as his city or state government is free to penalize him if he does.

Actually, it's up to the legal system to decide if penalties are appropriate.

The legislative branch can, and often does, impose penalties on any behavior, only the legal system can enforce them.

There’s nothing just about a pandemic. One person’s selfish actions can harm many innocents.

Which I'm sure they'll happily collect as long as it fills the public coffers. But we're really not talking about freedom here are we?

Can it really?

Many stores, mostly the lawyered up chain stores, remain open for business despite the lockdown. Despite that fact, social distancing and hand sanitizing has kept infection rates low.

It is patently unfair that small businesses who can't afford the political influence to be deemed 'essential' are being driven out of business by gleeful politicians having a power-gasm.
