Protest Against NJ Gov. Murphy Stay-at-Home Order: ‘No More Fear’
New Jersey citizens demonstrated in Trenton Friday against the “stay-at-home†order of Democrat Gov. Phil Murphy during the coronavirus crisis.
Politico reported the New Jersey Chamber of Commerce recorded video of the protest that showed “a long line of cars honking their horns along West State Street, across from the Statehouse and Murphy’s office.â€
The chamber apparently tweeted about the demonstration, but that tweet and the video recording of the protest have been deleted.
According to the report, the demonstration featured people waving American flags.
“The words ‘no more fear’ were audible through a megaphone as a helicopter hovered overhead and law enforcement officers blocked access to the Statehouse parking complex,†the Politico report stated.
Interestingly, NJ.com was only really interested in the woman who was arrested, in an almost “don’t be this person, Comrades!” way
Woman charged for organizing protest of Murphy’s coronavirus stay-at-home order
A woman was charged Friday for organizing a protest in Trenton of the stay-at-home orders instituted last month by Gov. Phil Murphy to help slow the spread of the coronavirus in New Jersey.
This is the same Phil Murphy who said he wasn’t thinking about the Bill Of Rights and that it is “above his pay grade”.
Kim Pagan, of Toms River was charged by the New Jersey State Police with violating the emergency orders, according to a release from New Jersey Attorney General Gurbir S. Grewal and Colonel Patrick J. Callahan, Superintendent of the New Jersey State Police.
The protestors gathered outside the Statehouse and other locations in Trenton on Friday afternoon as Murphy and state health officials held their daily coronavirus press briefing.
Is that an actual law, as passed by the duly elected legislative branch? Besides the 1st Amendment, NJ has their own Constitution. Article 1
1. All persons are by nature free and independent, and have certain natural and unalienable rights, among which are those of enjoying and defending life and liberty, of acquiring, possessing, and protecting property, and of pursuing and obtaining safety and happiness.
6. Every person may freely speak, write and publish his sentiments on all subjects, being responsible for the abuse of that right. No law shall be passed to restrain or abridge the liberty of speech or of the press. In all prosecutions or indictments for libel, the truth may be given in evidence to the jury; and if it shall appear to the jury that the matter charged as libelous is true, and was published with good motives and for justifiable ends, the party shall be acquitted; and the jury shall have the right to determine the law and the fact.
18. The people have the right freely to assemble together, to consult for the common good, to make known their opinions to their representatives, and to petition for redress of grievances.
You can feel the lawsuits coming. Whether you think these people are going too far, asking too much, or agree with them, we still have Rights.
