The Battle of Burbank
American Thinker.com ^ | March 20, 2021 | Clarice Feldman

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 Six days later their health permit was revoked.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. Tinhorn stayed open.

After a few more legal forays the Burbank City Council filed suit against the restaurant and obtained a temporary restraining order. Tinhorn stayed open.

The city cut power to the restaurant and patrons and fans donated generators and equipment so the restaurant could continue operations.

The city council padlocked the front doors. Tinhorn removed the doors and stayed open.

When the padlocked doors were somehow reinstalled, the restaurant posted on Facebook a picture showing a side door open. Tinhorn stayed open.

Another L.A. County judge required the county to prove that the ban on outdoor dining was necessary. T

The difference is that the owner is putting everything on the line; business, wealth, and personal freedom.

The other side is unnamed bureaucrats who risk nothing and utilize the police to enforce their ridiculous policy.

Until the bureaucrats have the same risk, the results will always be the same.

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 you know if they have any swag for sale?"

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.)
