Help a Small Business - Order to Close Immediately!

[Gilligan]

That's coz you're Gilligan dammit.

It was a rhetorical pat on the head and dismissal.

It isn't threatening or menacing. Here it is.

Yeah no doubt. Dr. Brewster just loves spending 12+ hour days, seven days a week for the past 11 months, not seeing her children and husband and enduring ignorant comments like yours so that she can destroy small business and empower Lowes! I for one shop at my local Ace Hardware in Leonardtown, where the staff and customers care about my heath and simply wear a mask. Not too hard, people. Spare me your liberty and freedom bull*%^& and try to consider someone other than yourself for once.

I wonder if all that OT was in the budget.

UPDATE: Health Department Orders Ridge Hardware To Close Over COVID-19 Regulation Disputes - The BayNet

When Donnie Tennyson poured his morning cup of coffee Saturday, he wasn’t expecting a text from his store’s manager saying that a pair of St. Mary’s County police officers wanted to see him.

Speaking of "flat out lies"..here's one:

We know that these efforts are making a difference and allow these businesses as a whole to maintain operations.

Oh, boo-fricking-hoo. She pulls in $193,000+ a year in salary alone from the State of Maryland. AND it is far above what most counties in Maryland pay their health officer.

I beg to differ with your point of view, Mitzi. It may not seem menacing or threatening, but if a family member of MINE was shooting off their mouth about something I was doing in the professional capacity of my job, on a public forum/social media, I'd be p*ssed.

The public has a right to question the motives of a public servant, and the family members getting involved is completely inappropriate.

It would be like Sheriff Cameron's wife getting on social media and posting crap like "oh yeah - well, MY husband does

Joshua should stay his a** out of the public business of his mommy or wifey - whomever Meena is to him.

 

[Bann]

Hah. I received a lengthy non-answer to my email already.

Surprise, surprise!

 

[PeoplesElbow]

I said a family member because the commentor's name is Joshua Brewster and he was complaining the Dr Brewster was working so hard she doesn't have time to spend with her husband and kids.

So Ace Hardware is behind it!

TPD, you should run for county commission.

Also a protest in Ridge isnt going to do anything, one in Leonardtown would mean more, or one along Rte 235, but I dont want to see anyone get ran over by a shitty driver.

My buddies and I have been protesting lockdowns at corner of 235 and 4 without incident. Its an ideal spot to get a lot of eyes.

Judging from the number of tree fatalities along 235 I'd say you was on borrowed time.

I had a teacher who got involved in local politics. Wound up resigning, very disillusioned about the whole thing. He was a very good guy, honest, upstanding, trying to right the world's wrongs.

I fear TPD would follow that path. He wouldn't last very long.

 

[TPD]

I don’t have time to read all the comments here And respond but thx for your support, if that is your position. The health department didn’t contact me until 11:45 this morning, 51 hours after the order to close! There is not a lot I can share at the moment but know that I am dug in for battle.

 

[jazz lady]

Had a chance to meet the owner of ridge hardware for the first time yesterday. Really nice guy and clearly a patriot. Are there going to be anymore protests for his cause? Don't want to see this lose momentum. I heard rumors there may be another one this week. My buddies and I want to come.

Tomorrow morning (Tuesday, the 15th) at 7:30 at the St. Mary's Health Department, 21580 Peabody Street, Leonardtown, MD 20650.

I looked at it in a different way. Like they were being unhinged. I agree with you now that you point that out. I would be pissed too.

Joshua may well be unhinged and/or triggered! He needs to get a grip and muzzle it, too.

They ordered you to close because you haven’t complied and not because you are being “targeted” and don’t give crap about other people pretty simple from all your postings I have read you haven’t made any of your employees wear masks as you have posted not just the ones with medical conditions which be pretty simple to prove stop whining and give a crap about your fellow citizens

Give me a break about your comment about fellow citizens. What a crock of you know. Let me tell you something. No one can order US to do something if WE are law abiding citizens with Constitutional rights. There are no laws in place about the COVID hoax. Let me ask you something. Are you ok with living under communism, fascism. socialism, totalitarianism, and want to give up your rights, and be told what to do? Oh, wait. somd forum has not been put on the black list block, yet. And, what you and yours say here does not change the minds of patriots. I haven’t worn a mask since the hoax started, except when I had to go to the dentist twice, and when I voted. My husband loves it. He says he can shop in record time without me. I will never have to go to the grocery store again. Merry Christmas!
