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.
Let us know how it went.
Got it...They should install 70’ tower out back and put a giant windmill on top.
ill be there tomorrow. Another retarded meeting at a certain studio which I hate but i’ll pass by at lunch time and give them my money. I dont care if they cook my food over a camping fire and give me lukewarm beer..
Roger. I’ve passed it by more than a few times but I just didnt notice it until this thread. Vince Vaughn gave us a secret list of restos in Culver City to support (because the owners hate Biden) so I go to those eateries..
Glad that there is a list of restaurants to support..
From TripAdvisor comments :: I love this place been eating here for years. If you are into wearing a mask just eat someplace else or better stay home and hide in your basement
Just had lunch there. Ordered the specialty: Tinhorn burger with beer. It’s HUGE. If you love eating big burgers, this is one of the biggest. No need to chill the beer because its cold in Burbank anyways. NO ONE was wearing a mask except for one Kevin Snowflake checking out the place but a tiny fraction among true Americans.
I think there really was no electricity and I had to ask the dude who served the food, and they had none. Place was PACKED. There’s a tip jar beside the cashier that says “DPWH electricity fund” and it was full of money haha. The customers KNOW what the stupid city did and thats why they were there. fOR SUPPORT. There was a lawyer beside us who said if it’s all cash, then they dont have to declare income because technically the city says it’s “closed”. Good food, good vibes all around.
Thank you for the report and the good news.
Oh yeah, 2 dudes were wearing MAGA red caps there! NO idiot liberals threatening or getting their panties in a twist..everyone was chill. It’s been quite some time where I was happy to leave a big tip. Highly recommended.
And being CA I'm sure they have some government subsidy for solar panel installation. Make the corrupt government pay for it!
If litigation was an actual threat to these tyrants this crap would not be happening. Logic tells you suing doesn't work, not just in Burbank but just about anywhere. People in this situation ultimately never win in court against a government that has unlimited use of your own tax dollars.
!!!!!! At :23 of the NBC news video covering the situation, a woman walks into the restaurant wearing a grey t-shirt with a logo. I am not in a place where I can do a good screen capture of the NBC video to see the shirt.
Can one of you Freepers do it?
