Exactly.

right!Bullies prefer to pick on the small guy.
Can we share this on FB somehow? I want to be able to let others know publicly so they can go support you! We can also all target the BIG BOX STORES so we can see how health department goes after them!^^ that right there! ^^^^
We still don't know if it is one customer or numerous. But I can't believe that walmart, target or lowes does not get a complaint everyday and have not received an order to comply.
It's Official - Ridge Hardware received the order to close it's business this morning (Sat Dec 12th) at about 8:40am. This was served by 2 St. Mary's County Sheriff's Deputies on behalf of Dr. Brewster of the St. Mary's County Health Department.
After numerous visits by health department employees in the last 2 weeks, not once was I, the proprietor of the business, given an opportunity to talk to them about mitigation efforts or to present my side. In fact during one visit, my employee was told by the health department inspectors that it was above their paygrade to wait the 3 minutes for me to arrive to discuss the situation. Their inspection reports show erroneous information, but I at this point have not been able to talk to anyone from the health department. My calls have not been returned or go unanswered (today they are closed).
I feel I have been unfairly targeted as a small business owner when big box stores are more susceptible to an "unreasonable risk of exacerbating the spread of covid".
Call the Health Department @ 301.475.4330 (email smchd.healthdept@maryland.gov) if you think they are applying the "orders" unfairly. Call your elected officials if you think this is unfair. Feel free to come protest in my parking lot.
me tooI can be available tomorrow if a protest of support comes together!
I don't do the Facebook but will definitely show and support if the time and place is on here.
Thank you! I'll be there early. Hope there's a great turnout.Heard that someone was planning an 11am protest at the store tomorrow morning, prior plans will keep me from showing support.
Is this for real?Heard that someone was planning an 11am protest at the store tomorrow morning, prior plans will keep me from showing support.
Yes. The group formerly known as St. Mary's 2A Sanctuary has it on their FB.Is this for real?
