LA Mayor Will Cut Power, Water To Homes And Businesses That Disobey Him
Federalist ^

Posted on 08/06/2020 9:41:46 AM PDT by Bigtigermike

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.

Shutting off utilities in South Central or Boyle Heights?

Sounds like a dandy way to get shot.

I can with a few cans of spray paint shut down many areas of their utilities! It does not involve BLM tactics.

Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti has announced to the world just how childish and sociopathic he is. Nothing like an elected "official" thinking he has dictatorial powers.

Let the lawsuits fly.

In the meantime, we're heading to city hall to cough all over the place and then tell him to cut off the water and electricity to it.

After that, we're heading to his house to cough all over it so he can cut off the water and electricity there as well.

...then the DMV offices, then the offices of the State Franchise Tax Board, truck scales...

It’s not like cable television where all someone has to do is type a few keystrokes into a computer to turn off service.

This may be another reason for the big push on smart meters. Now it is just a few keyboard clicks away.

Electricity maybe but you can’t flush or wash without running water, health hazard. And now they wont be able to quarantine in their own homes. Brilliant!

What about people on medical equipment that needs power and they die?

I guess the mayor would enjoy it.

It’s interesting to watch how fast they feel they have supreme, unquestioned, authority - more and more like the CCP as each day passes.

They’re trying to normalize people believing the Constitution doesn’t exist.

And what’s nuts is that the dems from these places will continue to run with an open border philosophy. You are right...blatant hypocrisy.

As long as the customer is current on their bill and there aren’t any building code violations the Mayor can go pound sand. Watch the blizzard of law suits from this little stunt.

“Can he declare martial law? This sounds like martial law.”

That’s usually reserved for governors, not mayors.
