So, the judge denied the injunction in the lawsuit against our Sheriff Adkinson and the BCC.

Round one:
County Commission and the Sheriff 1 (won)
Small group of Beachfront Owners desiring a private beach during this health crisis. 0 (zero)

“Public beach on the Gulf of Mexico is not defined by legal ownership, but by what is the beach,” Judge Vinson said.

Judge rules against Walton beach property owners who sought exemption from closure order

District Court Judge Roger Vinson declined an emergency motion Monday that would have removed several Walton County property owners from the constraints of an order closing the county’s beaches.

In ruling, the judge signaled that a lawsuit filed on behalf of the same 15 owners, seeking to accomplish the same thing by overturning a newly amended county ordinance, could also be in jeopardy. District Court Judge Roger Vinson declined an emergency motion Monday that would have removed several Walton County property owners from the constraints of an order closing the county’s beaches.

“As it stands I don’t believe it can succeed,” Vinson said.

The original suit was filed April 6, four days after the Walton County Commission voted in emergency session to amend a standing ordinance and close privately owned as well as public beaches to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

Oh my! This makes me so mad!!! Beachfront owners trolling us in the courts trying to spend us to death and steal our hard earned tax dollars.

the lead attorney for the 15 property owners argued that by preventing beach owners from accessing their property, the county has actually put them in greater jeopardy to catch COVID-19.

He said his clients not being able to fish, swim or recreate in their beachfront yard raises the risk that they’ll acquire the coronavirus by biking on a public path or shopping at local stores.

The tax dollars spent on this lawsuit you are so angry about will pale in comparison to the lost tax revenue from this stupid shutdown. People can champion the sheriff wining, but will you have won? Every day this shutdown continues results in another business that will most likely fail and never reopen, another vacation rental property that will be foreclosed on, and several thousands of people unemployed.

This shut down has had nothing to with a virus. Look at how grossly inaccurate all of the academic models have been. The virus has been used as huge grab of power by government. If anyone believes we will return to normal after this is over your kidding yourselves. Cite one single occurrence where governments have relinquished their powers once enacted. Government no longer represents the people. They have become our masters.

We will see how many of you on the sir are championing your goverment masters when your taxes start skyrocketing to make up for their huge budget shortfalls. Meanwhile, tune back in to CNN so you can get your daily fix Covid-19 porn.

Toilet paper is in short supply, but there is plenty of aluminum foil on the shelves. Best go get some and make a beanie, quickly, before the 5G waves get to your cerebral cortex as well!:wave::welcome:
