A coffee shop in central Kentucky received a flood of support on Wednesday after its owner refused to obey state and county orders under the guise of COVID-19.
According to the Lexington Herald-Leader, the line of customers “stretched out the door” at times and at least one customer waited an hour.
“Haven’t tasted the coffee yet but it smells like freedom in here,” tweeted Jimmy Hazlett from the scene. “Love this with all my heart.”

Officials from the Lexington-Fayette County Health Department had ordered the Brewed coffee shop to close on Tuesday for refusing to discontinue in-person dining, a violation of a previous statewide emergency order issued by Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear last week.
What’s the worst – jail…
But Andrew Cooperrider, who owns the establishment, chose to continue operating as normal instead.
“I asked what would happen if I keep serving,” Cooperrider told The Herald-Leader, adding that the health inspectors did not answer his question.
“The worst that could happen is we close…I go to jail for a bit,” he said. “What am I facing now, locked up inside my house with losing my business…I have more to gain by resisting than I do to comply.”
Word of the controversy began to circulate throughout the region after the shop’s Facebook page posted an image of the shutdown notice with the caption, “Untill (sic) we are pulled out in handcuffs you can come to get your coffee at Brewed.”
On Wednesday afternoon, Brewed told its social media followers that it had run out of food and had not anticipated such “overwhelming support.” The Kentucky Alcohol Beverage Control later issued an emergency license suspension for the shop.
“This was expected,” a post on Brewed’s Facebook page read, adding, “We didn’t even order beer this week.”

Another post indicated the shop would be closed on Thanksgiving but vowed to open again on Friday.
Now, the despots will go after them criminally!
On Thanksgiving, the Kentucky despots decided they allowed their shop is “permitting the premises to become disorderly.”
Lockdowns aren’t working. They don’t stop the virus and the damage done to economies, small businesses, and Americans is incalculable.
These city and state leaders are tyrants and this is tyranny. Lockdowns don’t follow science.
Update: The state found that the coffee shop violated Kentucky statute “by permitting the premises to become disorderly,” which included threatening behavior. #Lexington #COVID19 https://t.co/pCRaLrNF47

Bad optics CCP/CPUSA comrades. Burning and looting with no consequences while heading to work is a crime.
Reminds me of the online cartoon with the cop stopping a man who says…I’m heading to work and the cop says, no vaccination, no occupation.
Be afraid, watch teevee, consume, obey, question nothing. Yea, no thanks.
It’s not Officials from the Lexington-Fayette County Health Department, but the Globalists that control them.
Until the head of the snake is removed, these dictators will keep pushing the Great Reset(NWO) so complete destruction of the economies are achieved.
If you’re not furious, you’re not paying attention.
Lock and load!

The Georgia Guidestones might have some useful information about the culling.
The vaccine could get the job done quickly.
Outsourcing could be used so that there is no remorse or mercy for useless eater untermenschen deplorables AKA Trad Americans.
This ain’t no picnic and useless idiot statist utopians are about to bring hell on earth.
Zombies with dreams of easy living courtesy of mommygov are in for a rude shock.
Even the military study found lockdowns are ineffective. The only logical reason for these local tyrants to continue is the “public” can be the ones to blame for not being strict enough in compliance. This was basically inferred with the Fauci, Birx, Pence briefings. When things began to look good they ALL claimed the public were doing their job well. “We’re doing everything RIGHT”, and IF, it takes a turn for the worst, “IT IS YOUR DAMN FAULT”. Once the President gave the States, and Governors, the sole authority for the response, they felt the need to impose the strictest policies so they, too, can claim, “IT IS YOUR DAMN FAULT” for not following orders.
All this was compounded by Fauci, mostly, who began dismissing all kinds of previous studies. It has left the only recourse to maintain the status quo, even with mounting studies to the contrary. It began with HCQ and continues with a variety of other studies, foreign and domestic. It has made medicine, in its various forms, a political football tossed around with no sign of fielding it to an end. We have reached a point of no return, to normal, in that every facet with any political component is in dreadful fear of losing power. If some political leader is considered a failure in such a monumental event, akin to the Spanish Flu, that person has sealed their fate for the future. There is no backing down now.
