Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti announced that he has ordered the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power to cut off the water and electricity to any homes, venues, or businesses that defy the COVID-19 safety measures he has imposed on the City.
"Quite frankly, I must admit that I am fed up with people trying to exercise freedoms that I have put off limits during this pandemic," the Mayor said. "I have given the people in this City the opportunity to voluntarily obey me. Most have complied, but others insist that their freedom to earn a living, go to church, or visit friends is being illegally infringed. Well, let's see how they like it when I ratchet up the infringement another notch."
Garcetti justified his dictatorial rule as "necessary to secure the public health and safety. In times like this reasonable people recognize their obligation to sacrifice freedoms they have taken for granted in order to serve the public good. They should be confident that these freedoms will be restored if and when I deem it proper to do so."
Local Antifa bully Clyde Burns dismissed Garcetti's infringements as "wishy-washy. If he had any balls he'd blow up the power plant and water distribution system. The Revolution has sterner measures in mind for those who resist our authority. If Garcetti can't get on board with us he'd better get out of town himself."
