Sara Brady, a mother from Meridian, Idaho, was arrested on Tuesday, April 21st, after she joined a large group of parents in protesting Idaho’s Coronavirus Stay-At-Home order through a planned “Playdate Protest.”
The City of Meridian closed their playgrounds in March, in an effort to reduce the spread of COVID-19, because of fears that the virus may live on plastic surfaces (such as plastic slides) for several days.
Planned as a protest of Idaho’s Stay-at-Home order, through the Idaho Freedom Foundation and Health Freedom Idaho, a group of several dozen parents went to a closed playground at Kleiner Park in Meridian, Idaho, and “took back” the playground area – removing police tape that marked it as closed – so that their children could play.
Sara Brady was part of that group of parents. When told to leave the playground by an officer from the Meridian Police Department, Sara refused compliance and questioned authority to close the playground, citing her right to be in public spaces despite the statewide Stay-At-Home order issued by Idaho Governor Brad Little on March 25th.
After Sara was repeatedly told to go away from the playground, and she still refused, she was arrested and charged with misdemeanor trespassing. Sara was forced to leave her young children in the park with the other protestors, while the police booked her into the Ada County Jail in Boise. Miste Gardner-Karlfeldt from Health Freedom Idaho points out
“It was completely irresponsible for the police officer to arrest a mother without allowing her to first be sure that her children were taken care of. He showed callous disregard for the kids’ wellbeing.”

This was a good start, because they had some numbers turn out. That's what it is going to take: huge numbers to turn out and offer non-physical resistance.
I already told some of the leaders in this group, who are mostly part of the vaccine resistance movement in Idaho, that next time they need to put their babies in their laps and sit down in the road in front of and in back of the police car where they took the arrested mom, preventing the car from being able to move unless they arrest all of them.
This is a common tactic used in the early 1990s during the Pro Life Rescue movements. There generally will not be enough police on duty within a precinct to arrest all of them, and if there are hundreds, it will force them to call out the National Guard, or what happened in some of the largest protests in the 1990s is that they called out police cadets who were not even officially officers yet.
This will get national media attention and encourage others around the country to take similar actions.
As far as Trump, he has not discouraged the protests, yet. I have said before, and I will say again, the defining moment in his presidency will be what he does with Fauci, who everyone knows is controlled by Bill Gates and part of the elitist global agenda.
Trump has to know this. So what is he going to do about it?
