Snitches In New Mexico

It was bound to happen after the governor's "stay at home" order was issued.

There are some people who just feel the need to tattle on businesses who are defying that order to the state government.

I do agree that all (individual and businesses) should comply. If they did, then the "lock down" would be of shorter duration. But, I am not sure tattling (snitching) is the way to go on those who aren't.

According to the Albuquerque Journal:

Has Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham’s order for the closure of nonessential businesses and banning congregations of more than five people fallen on deaf ears? Or are some people just confused? 

New Mexico State Police have responded to more than 300 complaints of noncompliance since the governor’s order took effect Tuesday. Albuquerque police reported another 100 or so more. 

People also have taken to social media, including to the governor’s Facebook page, and emails to the Journal to complain about smoke shops, hobby supply stores and estate sale companies that are continuing to hold sales where people may be congregating.

When I went into Gallup a couple of days ago, it was not quite a "ghost town", but traffic was much less than normal. Plus, I saw a lot of shops closed.
