Restaurant owners, supporters surround home of L.A. County Supervisor who dined out after voting to ban outdoor dining

A few dozen restaurant owners and their supporters converged outside the Santa Monica home of Los Angeles County Supervisor Sheila Kuehl on Saturday to express their frustrations with the latest restaurant outdoor dining shutdowns. 

Carrying signs and chanting “let us work!” the group of demonstrators surrounded Kuehl’s home demanding to be allowed back to work, as stimulus negotiations continue to stall amid the worsening pandemic.

Kuehl made headlines earlier this week after she was seen eating outdoors at Il Forno Trattoria in Santa Monica on Nov. 24, just hours after voting to ban outdoor dining throughout the county for three weeks amid rising coronavirus cases in the region.

“This is a serious health emergency and we must take it seriously,” she said at the Board of Supervisors meeting as the measure passed in a 3-2 vote. “The servers are not protected from us, and they’re not protected from their other tables that they’re serving at that particular time, plus all the hours in which they’re working.”

While the order wasn’t set to take effect until the following day, Nov. 25, Kuehl has faced significant backlash among residents and restaurant business for her decision to eat out hours after the vote. Under the ban, all eateries in L.A. County are only allowed to offer take-out, drive-thru and delivery services. 

“This hypocrite makes the final decision on us and then goes out hours after voting ‘No’ and then going on that complete tirade rant of ‘Oh, this is so unhealthy,’” Derrick Olson, co-owner of 8-one-8 brewery in Canoga Park, told KTLA 5 News at the demonstration. “And then she goes out and does it herself.”

LOL, "surround." Sounds like they were ready to burn the place down. I remember a time when this would have been called a "protest." I guess liberals are the only one who "protest."

“...Carrying signs and chanting “let us work!” ...”

You don’t need to ask permission from a Public SERVANT.

Open up, make them send out their lackies, and overwhelm the system.

Bullhorns, strobe lights and other noise makers around her home at 3AM will work too... you know, like the other side does.

The voters mustn’t forget. Try to recall her or find a candidate who can beat her in the next election. Losing their jobs are all these people understand

"Los Angeles County Supervisor Sheila Kuehl"

Sheila should spend more time pushing away from the dinner table.

Why wouldn’t her annoying character grow up to be an old busy-body. Pretty much played the same character on The Beverly Hillbillies.

Comrades, Los Angeles County Supervisor Sheila Kuehl has already stated that this is “not an issue” and she will be saying no more about it. She needs peace and quiet at her home so that she can do the peoples’ business. Crowds gathering at democratically-elected officials’ homes could be considered domestic terrorism.

You don’t want to be a domestic terrorist, do you comrade? Go home and shut up. You will be told when you can go outside again.

Last night I was watching on YouTube Ceaușescu’s last speech in Bucharest. It all seemed eerily familiar somehow.

These covid lockdowns would end immediately if patriots show up with rope and drag these tyrants to the nearest lamp post.

When Caesar was assassinated, the people of Rome went to the homes of the conspirators and burned their houses. Today our masters live in guarded houses but how many of those ex-military guards will fight to the death to guard the homes of the elites? History can teach many lessons.

It always amazes me how people will take so much BS from Public Servants, for so long.
