Is it just me, or have you found yourself wondering lately if we are still living in the land of the free?

A New York bar owner was arrested yesterday for breaking Governor Andrew Cuomo’s draconian COVID-19 rules after undercover police officers orchestrated a sting and ordered food from his establishment.

The Daily Caller reports:

The New York City sheriff’s deputies entered Mac’s Public House in Staten Island, New York, and ordered $40 worth of food and beverages, according to a sheriff’s office press release reported by the AP. After they ordered, uniformed officers entered the bar and proceeded to arrest and handcuff the establishment’s co-owner Danny Presti.

Mac’s Public House is located in an “orange zone” of New York, and is therefore not allowed to offer indoor dining per Gov. Cuomo’s outrageous COVID restrictions.

Presti was considered to be “trespassing” after he refused to leave his establishment, according to one of his lawyers, Lou Gelormino. The attorney was present at the time and was given a $5,000 summons after it was determined that he was an employee of the restaurant.

Needless to say, people are absolutely fed up with the unconstitutional controls taken by governors like Cuomo and are ready to fight back:

It is safe to say that in New York, looting and destroying businesses is OK, yet keeping one open to feed your family and contribute to society is an arrestable offense. How did we get here?
