People from all walks of life have been feeling the effects of the shut-downs due to the coronavirus.
But mothers face specific challenges no other group will deal with like explaining to your children why the news is telling Americans if they go to the grocery store they may die, or having multiple lives disrupted all at once from school closures and after-school functions cancelled.
One mother saw not only these challenges developing in her household, but the more pressing issue on a national level of freedoms being stripped from the individual in the name of safety- and she would stand by no longer.
Fox News reports:
“The arrest of an Idaho mother who allegedly refused to leave a playground area closed by the coronavirus pandemic sparked a protest at Meridian City Hall Tuesday, according to multiple reports.”
Sara Brady, 40, is a mom of four who decided to join a protest with a group of people at a local park over the closures due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Shortly after the protest began police arrived on the scene to enforce the closures of public parks by legislatures.
The city of Meridian had wanted to reduce the risk of spreading the coronavirus which was found to stay on plastic surfaces for up to 3 days in previous reports.
“Arrest me for being difficult. Do it! Record it!,” Brady was seen on a video telling an officer.
The officer then gave her the count of five to leave, according to local station KTVB.
While the officer was still counting the brave mother turned around to give him her wrists, seemingly telling the officer she will not budge on standing up for constitutional rights.
The police on the scene arrested Brady, dispersing the crowd from the vicinity.
In a police statement Brady’s fate was expounded on:
“She was non-compliant and forced officers to place her under arrest to resolve the issue. She was arrested for trespassing.”
The arrest sparked outrage among local residents who agreed with the principles Brady was standing for.
Nearly 100 like-minded individuals then went to demonstrate in front of Meridian City Hall, according to Fox News.
Brady, who was bailed out of jail after being charged with one count of misdemeanor trespassing, brought attention to a different kind of battle.
The kind the left doesn’t want you to notice rising up through the fog of media’s clamoring over hypothetical situations and fear mongering.
As Brady said in a press conference:
“The reality of the situation is that I’ve been stuck at home for the last five weeks and as the rest of America has so, watching this great nation and our god-given rights crumble before my eyes…”
Acts of this nature are not to be contentious with local law enforcement, because they are just trying to do their jobs, but to divert attention to the virus that is plaguing our government- the one that will not only affect 2020 history, but that of generations to come.
We were given freedoms in this great nation that should not be stripped because of someone else’s fear.
Let’s stay woke to the news in and around the pandemic, surely grieving for the lives lost but holding stead-fast to the constitution that gave inherent value to all.
