A Los Angeles business owner says city code enforcement officials have relentlessly targeted him for setting a sidewalk sign too close to city property while ignoring the growing homeless encampments.

Arik Air, owner of Motostyles, a motorcycle accessory and remote control hobbies store in the Grenada Hills area, claims code enforcement officials visited the business multiple times in June and his complaints to city officials including the mayor have been met with silence.

"I'm kind of pissed off because it's an ongoing battle with them for kind of forever," Air told Ainsley Earhardt on "Fox & Friends" Wednesday. "They keep changing the inspectors and actually to justify their work, they to come and give you a ticket for something."

Congress can set up a special circuit court that California cities could request be used instead of the 9th Circuit.

Its judges might be businesspeople who faced sidewalk tent issues. Congress could block appeals to the Supreme Court from its decisions.

Does Nancy Pelosi have to will to revive her adopted city?

So..

The Law Abiding people are targeted. Harrassed and fined.

While those that do not obey the law are free to what ever they want w/o consequences or law enflorcement intervention.

For now, just paint your sign on the side of a tent.

Welcome to control freak democrat utopia.

If you voted for it, own it. And live with it.

Otherwise, move your business somewhere else and let the place implode.

Their goal is to shut down all businesses and put the government in charge of all of the means of production. (Communism.)

So harassing business owners for trivial things and allowing criminals to steal are part of the plan.

I guess he didn’t get the memo put out by the Governor and Mayor. As a Business owner/operator, it is your job to just keep writing checks to the government for their refusal to enforce the laws that make it impossible for you to run your business...

I was thinking the same thing. You get what you vote for.

Gee, it sure would be a shame if someone beat the living snot out of one or two of those “inspectors”.

Yep. A real shame.

Yes. It is best described as Anarcho-Tyranny.

Typically used by elites in society assembling a High-Low coalition to destroy the Middle.

The middle level group in society is economically destroyed by constant regulation and hyper-legal enforcement,

At the same time the Low are encouraged to violently attack the Middle. The Low are exempt from any legal consequences for violent attacks on the Middle.

If the Middle fights back to defend itself, they are criminally prosecuted.

The Law Abiding people are targeted.

And that is why so many people break the laws. "Join the party, pal! Government don't care about you!"
