A bar owner in Los Angeles, California, is fighting back against heavy-handed lockdown measures that have forced her to shut down while other industries operate under government exemptions....
“So this is my place, the Pineapple Hill Grill and Saloon. If you go to my page you can see all the work I did for outdoor dining for tables being seven feet apart, and I come in today because I am organizing a protest and I came in to get stuff for that. And I walk into my parking lot and, obviously, [Los Angeles] Mayor Garcetti has approved this,” Marsden says, pointing to the large, outdoor dining area set up by movie company just feet away from her own outdoor dining area that has been outlawed under the current health orders.
Marsden spent roughly $80,000 renovating her business and setting up an outdoor area to seat people for in-person dining, she told local CBS affiliate KCAL 9. Under the current health codes, restaurants may only provide take-out only. Marsden has been forced to close down her business completely because she cannot cover her margins on take-out alone.
“[Garcetti] has approved this being set up for … a movie company. I’m losing everything. Everything I own is being taken away from me, and they set up a movie company right next to my outdoor patio,” Marsden says. “And people wonder why I’m protesting and why I have had enough. They have not given us money and they have shut us down. We cannot survive. My staff cannot survive.”

The power to tax (a business) is the Power to Destroy. But this is outright confiscation. Removing the use of property from the owners without compensation is illegal. But who has taken it to the courts to deal with the issue.?

I saw this yesterday, it’s beyond comprehension.
Fourth, Fifth, and First (assembly) Amendment issues here, folks.
The SCOTUS has said that the Constitution is NOT suspended just because of a pandemic.
It will be shredded ONLY if we allow it!
Is she a liberal?
If so she got her money’s worth.
You should not be organizing a “protest”.
You should be organizing a CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT.
True.
It is still more ComDem Insanity!
They intend to destroy the entire nation. And they are having much success at that.
Yes, agree.
I doubt she is a liberal. But anything is possible in CA.
Where are the lawsuits from the business’s?
The democrat insiders will buy up out of business locations at pennies on the dollar.
Bump
Massive civil disobedience is in order.
ROFL. SCOTUS? HA HA HA
Useless.
The GA rally is a start. It was huge.
Yes, that is the ComDem way!
Yeah, DC, I get the symbolism but a bunch of unarmed Patriots in the midst of the commie vermin now and we know the police won't do anything?
Have the rally in VA where my PA carry permit is honored and we can protect ourselves.
I understand.
I’m not clued in on the details of “Stop the Steal” in DC.
Clearly it will be dangerous.
My daughter lives in VA. Some parts of VA are as leftist controlled as DC itself. Most of the state is NOT.
Yes
Likely that is True.
