It became apparent on Friday night that some business owners in Buffalo, New York, have had enough of the arbitrary coronavirus-related restrictions handed down by Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo that are killing their establishments and hurting their employees.
Gathered inside Athletes Unleashed gym in Orchard Park, a number of business owners refused to comply when a health department official and the Erie County Sheriff’s Department entered their facility. The business owners, who taped the interaction, told the health dept. official and the sheriffs to “go get a warrant” and leave their “private property.”
And, to cheers from the business owners, the authorities complied, leaving the gym and the front of the business, video shows.
According to reporting from WBEN, there were about 100 business owners meeting together before they were reported by an anonymous person for exceeding the Cuomo-edict of no more than 10-person gatherings.
At the beginning of the video, one of the men calmly tells the government officials that unlike them, their income does not come from the taxpayer and that they must stay open in order to live.
“I’ve seen clients die because they’ve lost their livelihood,” the man pleads. “I’m asking for [you guys] to have some compassion for the people that have lost everything.”
“We do have compassion for people who’ve lost everything,” the female health dept. official responds.
“Go get a warrant,” another business owner interjects firmly, “This is private property. … This is private property, [they’re] not wanted here.”
“Do your jobs,” he tells the sheriffs, adding, “Your job is to remove people who are not wanted here.”
“You should all be wearing masks; how come you don’t have masks on?” one of the sheriffs asks. “Don’t worry about my health,” the business owner responds, “My health isn’t your concern.”
“It’s a government mandate,” the sheriff insists. “It’s the law.”
The business owners tell the sheriff it’s “not the law.” The statewide mask mandate is an executive order from Gov. Cuomo and never passed through the legislature.
“You have to leave,” the business owners repeat, “You guys have to leave.” Another man tells them, “You guys need to leave because right now, you’re trespassing without a warrant; you need to leave.”
“[Mass] civil disobedience starts now,” someone else shouts.
“You don’t get to violate the Constitution,” the officials are told. “You don’t circumvent or subvert the Constitution.”
Chants of “Get out” and “We will not comply” erupted from the business owners as the health dept. worker and the sheriffs were ushered off the property.
Before they are cheered off the premises, it was made clear that the business owners were “reported” by an “anonymous” person, according to the health dept. worker, who insisted it was fine for the complaint to be anonymous.
The business owners, reports WBEN, were, ironically, meeting to discuss new COVID-related restrictions.
“Tim Walton attended the meeting that began at around 7pm Friday and tells WBEN there were more than 100 people attending the meeting inside the gym,” the report said. “In a press release and blog post, Walton says the Erie County Sheriff’s Department and Health Department entered the facility and confronted the gathering, telling them they were in violation of the limit to mass gatherings of no more than ten.”
“We’re gathering information and will have more to say at our press conference on Monday,” said Erie County Health Department spokesperson Kara Kane.
“Our health department is out there enforcing the rules,” Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz responded to the video.

I hope the SC looks.. I hope they see and I hope they do not want this on the United States... I hope they are worthy of their power and name.
I wonder how many felt about Trump like they are saying some republicans... if they do.. there is spite and revenge.... they were an honorable court at one time.. I don’t know if they are now.. barry’s appointees don’t seem to be too honorable.. Roberts has let us all down..
isn’t it society and the low depth they are now compared to the time they took the country serious and at least more patriotic than society is now. I don’t know.. I think I took for granted that they would act honorably when I was busy raising my family... that camel got into the tent by not stopping it a long time ago.
when we are comfortable, we acquiesce.. when things look bad.. we wake up...
and our President is one man who has shown how an adult handles hits, attacks and now removal... no thanks for anything he has done.
i end with this.... when Trump was in Europe, all the leaders followed him around... he is tall and his personallity fills any room he enters..his good works will become front row if he does not keep his Presidency... he out shines .. out works... and the most popular President in being different.. non political...owes no favors ... and he is not leaving the scene.. and when he enters a room, biden will become less.
one more thing.. again...where are barr and durham... they could sink into the woods and let biden and co go free.. truly a total way of being too lazy to prosecute... the justice is gone...
or.. they could come out before the end of dec..or tomorrow..and show all their findings... and change the subject in the news... and keep our President in office.
Man..I just never thought we’d have open illegality made legal.. who are we to seat a crooked President and a commie VP..I go way back...I can’t deal with what our country has become.. we let that camel into our education system also!
In the basic sense doxxing is posting a person’s private info usually in an attempt to encourage others to harass them in large numbers.
It literally makes me sick a decent hard working non corrupt man who loves this country and all Americans only wanted the best, and was not beholden to anyone as you mentioned was so attacked and lied about for no other reason than he was not part of their club.
He couldn't be bought off.
I haven't worn a mask up to this point and refuse to do it now.
Yesterday my brother went to town to the local grocer.When he walked in he said they descended on him like a bunch of jackals. Threatened him; said they WILL NOT SELL to him; he told him he has a medical condition and showed them his medication. Not good enough. Has to be documented. I've spent literally thousands of dollars at that store through the years and so has he and he said they treated him like a criminal. They let him buy what he needed JUST THIS ONCE by God.
The sheeple will willingly line up at the cattle cars. He said everyone in the store were masked up. sickening.
“You know what? That Sheriffs department was nowhere to be seen when BLM was attacking people in restaurants”.
Excellent point.
At the end, the guy yelled “Take your commie crap elsewhere”
Americans do not like liars.
Americans do not like being told things that do not make sense.
Americans do not like control freaks who glad-hand each other while cracking the whip on our fellow Americans.

Thank you for posting that video.
There seems to be a certain segment of any population completely at home with the idea of running their own extermination camp, and those are the people.
Wow. A New Yorker figured out a law can’t come from an edict. It has to come from a legislative body.
How in the hell did that happen?
The code enforcement nitwit was Exhibit A in the “fat white Karen” category.
Not anymore.
Now I’m convinced most of them went willingly because they were told there was a COVID-19 vaccine and 500 gallons of hand sanitizer waiting for them at the end of the trip. And the few who didn’t want to go were relentlessly scolded and harassed by their neighbors Karen Feinbaum and Kevin Goldstein until they finally just lost their will to live.
l8r
The lines are being drawn, this will be the second shot heard round the world if these idiots get thier hands power, meaning the military, the national guard and law enforcement not to mention the marauding rioters antifa and BLM. Its gonna get real ugly real fast

In a short clip he pushed back on the reporter, claiming a question framed around COVID was the problem.
This is all about Freedom and other rights from our Creator.
His business will not succeed, or fail, because of Governemtn
The police are not on your side. Once the bootlickers here on FR get that through their heads, the better.
All it takes is for good men to stand up against tyranny. Freedom will spread like wildfire!
Man up and grow a pair.
