Pasadena bar openly defies Abbott's order with 'Texas Bars Fight Back Rally'

[TexasTowelie]

A Pasadena bar openly defied Gov. Greg Abbott's order for all bars to remain closed due to skyrocketing COVID-19 cases by hosting a "Texas Bars Fight Back Rally" this weekend.

It was a shocking scene on Sunday at Chuters Dance Hall & Saloon in Pasadena; a dance floor full of patrons - many not wearing masks - danced to a live band as the alcohol flowed, breaking several COVID-19 state health protocols.

“I believe everyone has the right to work for a living, and I believe they have a right to be open like any other business,” patron Kristina Reff told the Houston Chronicle.

Following a major increase in COVID-19 cases in Texas, Abbott halted the state's reopening plan on June 25 and a day later closed down bars again. That same day, Harris County was placed under a stay-home advisory after reaching the highest possible COVID-19 threat level.

1. We are a nation of ignorant fools.

The stupidity of the American people can not be underestimated.

2. By Gov Abbott not responding against this business for doing this

It will only cause others to do the same , and spread this virus even more. The virus dictates if they can restart , not Abbott or others. Sooner or later these types will realize that.

5. Hi there! How ya doin'?

I left before the election in 2016 because differing viewpoints as to the suitability of certain candidates for the Democratic nomination were not welcomed. Another board was established to accommodate those people.

Of all the drugs, solvents like ethanol are among the worst - look how stupid it makes everybody.

8. I have told my GF...

that the virus will never stop spreading here in Texas. (and other grossly stupid red states)

I know it's taking a massive toll on small businesses but as long as asshole abbott continues to string this bullshit along, it will never ever end.

more over, Fauci basically said, we all wear masks for 2 months (just think if we did that back in march, it would be under control now), we would be in good shape to deal with it. but given the gross incompetence of asshole abbott and the moronic self righteousness of the right wing and antivirus (aka hoax) mouth breathers, here we are.

it's not going away.
