A military veteran business owner in Northern California lit into his county's leaders at a board of supervisors meeting, warning that restrictions due to the coronavirus pandemic are threatening the lives of his family and many others.
"This is a warning for what's coming; it’s not going to be peaceful for much longer," Carlos Zapata told the Shasta County board in Redding, California, on Aug. 11.
At the meeting, nevertheless, Zapata directed his animus to the county board.
"I'm pretty appalled at what's going on. At first we sat as concerned citizens, and we all wanted to best figure out how to navigate our way through this COVID thing," he said. "As we realized that it's not as quite as dangerous as we thought it would be, I was absolutely appalled at the cowardice — and you guys are sitting here with your masks on — I don’t blame you for wearing masks because I would be hiding my face if I was you for what you’re doing," he said.
"I'm a business owner and I'm telling you, our families are starving," Zapata continued. "You guys can sit here with your jobs — you’re gonna sit here and get paid to fall asleep in your chair like that gentleman’s doing behind his mask right there," said Zapata.
He then issued a warning.
"Right now we're being peaceful, and you better be happy we're good citizens, that we're peaceful citizens, but it's not gonna be peaceful much longer..."

Amazing dose of reality for these damn commies to think about. If they continue to keep the nation closed, it’s going to be ugly out there.
CA RATs, whether big ones or little ones, never listen to sound advice. However, they do so at their own peril.
When they come from the left AND the right, God help those in the middle. It ain’t going to be pretty.
It’s frustrating that a public health emergency has become politicized. But there you have it.
There are some exceptions, but in general, liberals are in favor of continuing lockdowns indefinitely, while conservatives want the country to open up and get back to normal.
In general, liberals want us locked down until Dr. Fauci and his boys come up with that elusive vaccine, which even they say may not be 100% effective, and may not be available anytime soon. But to paraphrase Andrew Cuomo, if everything we do saves one life, it’s all worth it. All of the fallout, economic damage, other social/medical problems, etc. are all worth it, if we save even 1 life, according to them.
So there you have it. Liberals want us all locked down indefinitely.
Guess that explains why Governor Wolf has been locked down in a bunker during all this.
I saw that last night. I thought if it comes, it won’t be long and protracted. Those like the speaker are bright enough to target the appropriate villains. Once it’s set in motion, and the generals begin to fall, the successor generals, fearing for their own safety, will quickly reverse official actions that lead to the confrontation.
That is an argument FOR universal 20 MPH speed limits, including on interstate highways.
Best way to to end all this endless lockdown nonsense is to cut off the pay of all these bureaucrats, governors, health officials and mayors who are issuing the harsh, mindless lockdown diktats. Let them get a taste of what the masses are going through.
Oh wait, they are the very people who decide who decide who does and doesn't get paid.
I’m not generally too fond of WND stuff.
But I can believe it.
Is this guy technically “Latino”? So much the better, unfortunately, for the race-conscious libs.
I’d take out the successor wannabe generals too.
They are just as much a part of the problem.
He’s Latino like me.
Hispanic with a love for this nation and willing to die for it.
yes, that is a strong argument for 20 mph speed limits, so that we reduce car crash fatalities. We all know it’s unrealistic to have such speed limits.
And it should become apparent to more people as time goes on, that these drastic lockdown policies are going to be counter productive long term.
He’s right but now he needs to start checking his mailbox for a letter from the IRS.
WND?!!?! of course i’ll read it!!
they’re up there with inforwars!!! :)
The most insane sites on the right.
I bet the end of the world coming in every other article :)
Isn’t jones the guy who said all those kids didn’t get massacred some years back??
I’ll get my news info from him!! :)
The food situation in 1789 France was the tipping point that brought about the French Revolution.
Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
It may require a sacrifice of several layers of officialdom, but eventually, somebody reasonable - one without a god complex - will ascend to leadership.
When it goes past 200,000 of our fellow Americans dead of it (including Herman Cain, John Glenn’s widow, Trini Lopez, etc ) then I’d say yes, it’s beginning to get ugly.
Well, the guy has the right last name for it that’s for sure.
