It’s believed the Battle of Lexington and Concord was the fight that set off the American Revolution. While a battle at Burbank, California has received less notice, to me it is inspiring -- a community’s refusal to bow to petty, irrational, and illegal bullying.
The story is fully recounted by Robert Morton and I urge you to read it in its entirety, but here’s my synopsis.
Tinhorn Flats is a family-operated bar and restaurant in Burbank. Burbank has had a death rate from the Wuhan virus of 2.8 percent of which 80 percent were of those over 65 who had, on average three co-morbidities.
Despite this, and disregarding the substantial sums restaurant and bar owners had shelled out to keep outdoor patrons safe, on December 6 the city council ordered all restaurants closed. Tinhorn refused and continued to serve patrons outdoors. Six days later their health permit was revoked. Tinhorn continued its outdoor service, ignoring the city’s revocation of its permit. In response, the L.A. County Department of Health cited the restaurant 13 times for operating without a permit. Tinhorn stayed open. The L.A. County Attorney filed a cease and desist order.

The Progressive want to remove qualified immunity from cops, then let’s remove it from ALL government officials from the local dog catcher to President.
Let’s make the legal risk matrix equal......
Do they have a website?
Great Article! Well written!

Burbank City Council “needs replaced.”
Yeah I saw that. Shame. They could make some money.
If they don't, they need to have some T-shirts exc...made up. They'll make 💰💰💰.
The battle of Tin Horn Flats has a nice ring to it.
(Goes without saying: the corrupt, criminal, government is completely out of line. They stood by while businesses were burned last year.)
