Ian Smith refused to close his Camden County gym during the destruction of small businesses caused by the pandemic mandates. The court dropped the case after 80 citations and violations of the Governor’s order, and it cannot be refiled. They won; Murphy lost.
IAN SMITH’S STATEMENT
4 years ago today, we reopened Atilis Gym in direct violation of an unconstitutional order by Governor Philip Murphy to close small businesses in New Jersey.
The support we received locally, nationally, and internationally for our stand is something I will be forever grateful for.
With that being said, I am thrilled to announce that we have achieved a major victory in the long, hard fight against the State.
ALL OF THE 80+ municipal citations of violations of a governor’s order, public nuisance, disturbing the peace, and operating without a license against us have been dropped by the courts WITH prejudice. This means the State has NO ability to revist or refile these charges.
The Battlefield is open.
This victory opens the battlefield again and gives us options to continue to push back and bring justice to the treasonous actions of Phil Murphy and his lackeys.
Again, thank you to all who supported us. We could not have done it without you.
Special thanks to our fearless attorneys – John McCann and Giancarlo Ghione. Some of the most high profile attorneys around the country ran from our case – knowing it would be a long, hard road and would make them a target of the stare. These two gentlemen stood with us through the darkest days of the storm, have not flinched, and never once cared about being in front of cameras to gain notoriety from their work.
Nobody is coming to save you; save yourself. Spit on your hands and hoist the black flag. No quarter. He ended by insulting Gov. Phil Murphy, and will provide updates.
The Tale of Civil Disobedience in Gov. Murphy’s Blue NJ
We followed the tale of the owners of Atilis Gym, Ian Smith and Frank Trumbetti, in New Jersey. They refused to shut down the gym during COVID.
Murphy and his minions arbitrarily decided which businesses were essential or nonessential. They forced businesses to close based on their shaky premises.
They repeatedly opened despite summonses, arrests, fines, and threats. At one point, the police shuttered the gym. The owners even lost their operating license. The owners rejected the concept of essential and non-essential businesses at the hands of politicians. They reopened. This went on and on.
They went onto News12:
HAPPENING NOW:
Ian Smith— one of @TheAtilisGym owners asks the crowd to congregate at their cars and listen to Bellmawr PD.
This— just minutes after police asked the crowd to disperse.
PD says they could be facing charges if they don’t stay in their cars.@News12NJ pic.twitter.com/evapiL4FSJ— Erika Shych (@erikashych) May 19, 2020
Ian Smith landed on Tucker, and he continued to reopen. They became local folk heroes, and the customers kept coming. No one got sick, and the owners kept their gym spotless.

Speaking of which and heads up: My brother has long haul covid and recently joined a facebook group named ‘covid long haul supporters’ (or similar). Seeking my advice I rummaged through the group and found it’s being run by someone claiming to be a nurse.

“Long covid” is a made-up thing. Most of the time it is a side effect of the clot shot.
Four years after the great panic, SO many people looking around ‘sheepishly’ wondering why they ran with the flock.
My little Mom & Pop Shop stayed open the whole time during the Scamdemic. Granted, we are in the Free-State of Florida and not some Marxist hellhole like New Jersey, New York, Crapifornia, Illinois, or Minnesota. Glad that Small Business WINS. Now sue the State of New Jersey into Bankruptcy.
In other news…. I’m the other guy who the state targeted for filing suit against the state of NJ around the same time(15 miles away). My business is still unable to open, still can’t get a response from the DEP regarding my permits, still out of business. Not a soul in this world can be bothered to care. Called lawyers,… Read more »
