L.A. Mayor Eric Garcetti announced that he ordered the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power to cut off the water and electricity to any homes, venues, or businesses in violation of COVID-19 safety measures.
In April, Garcetti enacted a similar order that applied to any non-essential businesses that defied his “Safer at Home” mandate.
The announcement comes just days after Los Angeles police responded to a “gang related” shooting at a large house party in Beverly Crest. According to Garcetti, this order will help limit people’s right to assemble.
“We’ve been clear from the beginning that getting together in groups outside of your household is not permitted, is not allowed. We’ve asked Angelenos not to gather or have parties,” Garcetti began.
“By turning off that power, shutting off that water we feel we can close these places down, which usually are not one-time offenders but multiple-offenders,” he added.

The HOA of her subdivision says she'll be missed greatly.
BOL!
Karen Karena; missing for four days; has been found in a dumpster behind a non essential business near her neighborhood.
The HOA of her subdivision says she’ll be missed greatly.
They let prisoners out of jail. They allow protestors without masks. But god forbid you have people over your house. That’s unacceptable and they’ll cut your utilities. Insanity
cut off water to a building with a fire protection sprinkler system and I would think the lawsuit award if it burned would be huge.
So John MaxArthur’s church in Sun Valley. this will inevitably be the form of retaliation that will come your way. Libs aiming at Christian conservatives.
yes, but an administrative action that is, in essence, confiscating wealth. That is, no water, no electric, triggers unsuitable habitat, which triggers homeowner’s insurance clauses, which destroys homeowner’s equity should there be a fire.
who has the power to arrest mayors? city? county? state? federal?
* the fire marshal does have the authority to arrest the governor.*
that’s good to know
But you can riot.....
The democrats let out 10’s of thousands of prisoners but will lock up people who want to keep their business open or go to work or just have a party.
Tyrants like this don’t respect the laws we already have; they’re certainly not going to obey new ones. No, we’re far beyond the point where a piece of paper will stop this. We all understand that force is the only thing that foreign despots understand. Why would we think that domestic tyrants would be any different?
The GOP-e gave them this power.
It is going to get much worse.
Nah....they haven’t asked ‘permission’ they’re just doing it!
And of course it’s going to get worse......President Trump clearly has lots of enemies because he’s doing what we asked him to do when we voted for him. Just look at WHO his enemies are.
It’s an important question - what ARE the powers of the Administrative State?
If an agency can write a rule that penalizes you in every way except imprisoning you, then what’s the limit?
They are writing laws. That’s all it is.
They defraud the citizenry by saying “it’s civil penalties” - who cares? If they can bankrupt you, and all you have is resort to one of their agency “judges” - who pretty much always side with them - then what’s the difference? They have replaced the legal system with their own.
It’s called Delegation and the Congress had no right to delegate their lawmaking power to the Executive.
Totalitarian Fascist.
Were they controlled by the woke corporate management class we would be reading about people having their power cut off for making incorrect tweets or being a registered Republican. Certain posters on here would defend it on the grounds that the power is their private property and they are entitled to express their free speech by cutting your utilities off.
A time is coming when people will not be able to buy or sell without a number (passwords?)
This is a blatant call for citizen snitches, neighbors must report these gatherings. Karens and Kevins will become Newsom’s brown shirts.
I find myself repeatedly checking to see whether I'm being bamboozled by the Onion, or Babylon Bee.
I sincerely hope every citizen of his city has his home address.
Notice how eagerly the dems use the full power of their office against honest, non-violent citizens and willingly allow rioters to attack, assault, burn, steal and kill. The do nothing to stop the antifa/blm crowd, in fact they encourage them and give them moral and material support.
