California restaurants are continuing to resist efforts from the county and state government from shutting down outdoor dining, one of the last remaining ways they can stay in business during the COVID-19 pandemic, pointing to how the science does not support such bans.
Daily Caller reporter Jorge Ventura was interviewing Anton Van Happen, who owns Nick The Greek, when public health inspectors stopped by to issue Van Happen a citation from remaining open after receiving a closure order on Friday. To protest the outdoor dining ban, Van Happen had his tables set up outside but did not seat anyone and continue to only offer takeout. That alone appeared to be enough to get a citation.
Van Happen told the inspectors it was his right to protest and he complied with the current restrictions so it makes no sense to be given a citation.
"You're not following the rules," one inspector said.
"I am following the rules! My tables are inside. Just because the health department has a whole process to go through that takes however long it takes, I have to close my business during that time, are you going to pay my rent? Are you going to pay my rent?" Van Happen asked.
"You chose to make those decisions," the inspector replied.
Despite being given the closure order, Van Happen said he will continue to remain open.
Good for him! People have got to fight back.
And if you think it’s bad mow, wait till Biden/Harris get in.
It’s time to say F-U because we know what they’re doing!
“First they came for the restaurants but I didn’t own one so I don’t care”-——well, you know how the rest goes.
It’s time we all fight this BS! Together...
Papers, please.
You are in violation.
Come with us now. No, you cannot go back to get your medicine or your things. Come with us now.
To think the gullible American Dem voters (non fraud ones) voted for that kind of government to go national. Fools.
1791: the government should need your permission to do almost anything
2020: you need the government’s permission to do almost anything
Need to serve some “papers” on CA’s low-life guvna
“It’s time we all fight this BS! Together...”
That can’t be said often enough.
Let them eat ca..., well no, they’ll stick with ‘off with
their heads” for now.
For Heaven’s sake, these people and their employees need to make a living!
At some point, ignorance is no excuse. In my book, Nov 3rd, 2020, they lost it as a cover. All Dems are now guilty of anti-Americanism and should be treated as such.
After Harris takes over, resisters will be treated increasingly harshly. I expect physical confrontations and proprieters being arrested and being taken away for attitude adjustment. After the Marxists get firm control, the CCP and what they have done to Hong Kong will be an instructive lesson for the Left.
How many times do we have to say it.
This is NOT a law.
I honestly think that’s what’s going to happen. Also, everybody on here is probably going to face a midnight arrest.
You're right. My rotten in laws and my dingbat sister (age 70) are old enough to know better. Should have noticed CNN and NYT are not always objective and honest. They like their damn socialism so much I hope they suffer terribly under it. Justice.
