LA Mayor Garcetti Encourages Residents To Report Violators Of Stay-At-Home Order: 'Snitches Get Rewards'
Fox News ^ | 04/04/20 | Brooke Singman

Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti said this week that “snitches” in his city will get “rewards” if they tattle on neighbors who could be violating the stay-at-home order put in place to curb the spread of the novel coronavirus.

 

Garcetti last month implemented the “Safer at Home” order, like many cities and states across the nation, closing non-essential businesses and urging people to stay at home.

“If any non-essential businesses continue to operate in violation of the stay at home order, we’re going to act to enforce the safer at home order and ensure their compliance,” Garcetti said, according to CBS Los Angeles.

The mayor’s office said that city officials, with officers from the Los Angeles Police Department, had visited more than 500 businesses that had not complied with his order. His office said four businesses have already been referred for misdemeanor filings.

“You know the old expression about snitches,” Garcetti said this week. “Well, in this case, snitches get rewards.”

With the kids out of school they could be a valuable asset in this instance. I mean they could also keep a eye on their folks and grandparents.

For once I am in agreement with the phrase “Snitches get stitches!”

Neighborhood spies. Next, children turn in your parents. If this system works, why not also use it to bolster red flag laws and have kids report their parents for being law-abiding gun owners? And pro-life voters? And for being conservative “enemies of the state”?

If we could put a $500 bounty for each illegal alien identified and subsequently apprehended, with $1000 deductions for false ID’s, I suspect we’d have many of the illegal aliens in the country identified and deported in no time.

What can you expect from a socialist? This clown would sell the USA down the river in a heart beat. Typical of uninformed voters to elect a creep like Garcetti.

Somewhere, Erich Honecker is smiling.
