She deserves her punishment. She was on the local news basically daring the city to do something about her opening. She was warned and then when she continued to openly violate the order, she was fined and then held in contempt. Now she's got a week in jail and $7k fine. I wouldn't care if they threw out the fine and just made her serve the time. I think everyone gets her point about needing to make money, but rules are rules and other businesses complied. Maybe she was hoping other businesses would follow her but none did.

Come on, gentleman. We should all know the playbook by now. Defy orders, protest against the higher powers, and then start a GoFundMe because of the unfair persecution. Playbook of the "oppressed victim" for years now. Over $400k raised already and more fundraisers out there.

I believe Pastor Tony Spell in Central did the same, though I'm not sure how much he made from it.
