Vindictive. That's the only way to categorize the actions of the City of Burbank after they had the power and phone lines cut from Tinhorn Flats, the oldest bar in town. How do we know it's vindictive and not for medical reasons? Because they did it two days before the ban on indoor dining was to be lifted...
“You will comply.”
That’s the message the city of Burbank is sending to Tinhorn Flats Saloon & Grill as well as every resident in their city. Anyone who is willing to cross them, as the oldest bar in the city has been doing for weeks, will be met with the full totalitarian power of the overzealous city council. They will cut your off your power. They will cut off your phones. They will try to put a padlock on your business doors. They own you because they’re the government, and nobody can cross the government without repercussions in the communist community of Burbank, California.
Except, Tinhorn Flats is not complying. They have no power from the city. They have no phones so they can only accept cash. But as of today, they’re still open. In fact, most restaurants are open now that Los Angeles County has lifted their ban on indoor dining. The city council of Burbank knew the ban was being lifted, but the vindictive totalitarians who think they run the city are not backing down. They’re out for blood..
Any freedom-loving American should feel their blood boiling over the pretentious snobbery of this city council. Their actions are not for the public good. They’re protecting their own power, especially that which they’ve accumulated through the Covid-19 lockdowns. Taking power away from those who crave it is harder than wrestling a ribeye from a Rottweiler.
According to Twitchy:
A court authorized the City of Burbank to cut off the electricity to Tin Horn Flats Saloon and Grill, a restaurant we told you about before, after they remained open after defying an earlier temporary restraining order to shut down over alleged violations of the county’s Covid-19 health order:..
The court, however, won’t allow the city to padlock the door. At least not yet.
From the City of Burbank:
This morning due to Barfly Inc., Tin Horn Flats, continuing to remain open in defiance of the Temporary Restraining Order issued on March 8, 2021, the Los Angeles Superior Court authorized the City of Burbank to disconnect the electricity to Tin Horn Flats’ property after giving 24-hours’ notice. The court did not provide permission to padlock the doors at this time but continues to reserve such a remedy as a last resort...
An update from their Facebook pages says they’re still open for business. Hell yes:..
The city says it took civil action against Tin Horn Flats after the restaurant broke the state and local in-person dining ban that was issued in December. In late February, the city adopted a resolution to revoke the “Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for Tin Horn Flats for allegedly violating the Los Angeles County Health Officer Orders “in a manner which endangers the public health, safety and welfare, and creates a public nuisance.”
A hearing on a preliminary injunction is scheduled for March 26. At the hearing, the judge could continue the closure order and further orders during the period while the litigation is pending...
We must support businesses like Tinhorn Flats who are willing to fight for their right to do business in the face of draconian efforts by power-addicted governments.
Tinhorn Flats Saloon & Grill in the middle of Burbank?
Too funny!
Sieg Heil!
Get a generation and use a cell phone. Screw the government
Generator
Surely they can't cut off his cellphone.
Is anyone gonna throw a wrench in this crap?!
Hmmm. we may have to take a drive and get a drink. Luckily the missus doesn’t drink so she can drive us back.
Remember, gubmint knows what’s best for you Kalifornia.
JRob doesn’t allow what I want to say about these fascists. Let me just say that every single last one of the fascists need to be personally introduced to the concept of a final solution.
Burbank used to be a cow town. They only had 1 cow, but still...
Any conservatives that live in a blue state need to get out now. Move to a purple state and make it red again or move to a red state and keep it red. Accept local traditions or find a different part of that state to live in. Do NOT try to change the locale.
No doubt it was a much better place back then. Even with only 1 cow. Last time I was in Burbank I felt like I had entered the cafeteria at the United Nations. I was like, whoa, I need to head to the closest on-ramp!
A wind turbine and solar panels will do the trick!/s
The only part I question is the Feds busting down the doors with a truck that had a snow plow blade welded to the front and then smashing everything inside with axes and sledge hammers. Just makes me uneasy.
It would seriously be time to smash back...
With a few exceptions, the entire city of Burbank now looks like any mall in America. And the city cops love to give out tickets.
It’s still a convenient airport. Even with the TSA lines you can get there 20 minutes before the flight and still make the plane. Southwest pretty much rules that roost but whomever runs it the people really do an efficient job. Planes come in, passengers trade places, and then they go out. No dilly dallying. Those 737’s are workhorses.
If I fly to Vegas (or a couple other cities but haven’t flown to them yet), I found a small private airline JetSuitex (jsx.com) that operates out of its own hangar. No TSA at all. I just looked at their website I see they have added a lot of new routes. Cool.
The means the city can cut power and water to anyone, maybe even someone who has a different political opinion. See how Fascism works? When Democrats claim that are fighting fascism, it’s insanity because they are Fascism. They are the world example of Extreme Fascism.
Johnnie Carson used to crack jokes about “beautiful downtown Burbank.”
