Her punishment had become a rallying cry for Republican lawmakers and conservative activists who have railed against lockdown measures in Texas, even as the state reopens at a speed faster than many others in the U.S.<\/p>\n<p>Luther, who refused to apologize or promise to keep her business closed even after a Dallas judge said dong so might keep her out of jail, said she was overwhelmed as she walked toward a crowd chanting her name. In April, Luther tore up a cease-and-desist letter in front of TV cameras at an \u201cOpen Texas\u201d rally in the Dallas suburbs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI just want to thank all of you who I just barely met, and now you\u2019re all my friends,\u201d Luther said after leaving jail. \u201cThis would have been nothing without you.
