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.

From James W. Huston’s book - ~~Secret Justice~~:

“People ride their authority farther than it was meant to carry them.”

Long past time for CA voters to get the picture!!!!

“The Authority of Several Thousand Police Officer’s Gun Barrels”

That’s not authority.

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

Or us he getting a warrant to turn off the power?

Have parties on his properties. If he does not cut the power or water, then let the lawsuits fly.

“It’s hard to imagine how we get past this without a Constitutional amendment making all this illegal”.

I’d say it’s already illegal and unconstitutional.

This is a test case.

Next time it will be a more explicitly ideological pretext.

Are you okay with police showing up at people’s houses because they aren’t wearing masks?

Coming soon to a zip code with 4 digits, identifying where we live.

Thanks to the Karens, who identified you setting in your family room without a mask or taking out the garbage can to the curb without a mask.

It’s certainly revealed the tyrants and equally as much the abuse of power without the consent of the people....with little push back.

yet another reason why essential services should never be placed in the control of communistic/nazi/fascist or other dictatorially-inclined politicians

“”The greatest things to come of COVID it that it revealed all the closeted tyrants currently in elected office.””

The same can be said after Donald Trump became president. How many of us had our eyes opened to how really rotten things were? Exactly as JFK said when he took office:

“When we got into office, the thing that surprised me the most was to find that things were just as bad as we’d been saying they were.”

Another Italian scumbag Mussolini wanna be. I don't know what it is but politics seems to attract the worst of the Italian people. I'm disgusted by them.

Maybe the people should be sure that he lost his home to teach him a lesson.

“The greatest things to come of COVID it that it revealed all the closeted tyrants currently in elected office. We now know they can not be trusted to support liberty and freedom.”

Covid-19?

MAX EVIL. Pit family against family, neighbor against neighbor, business against customer, friend against friend, city against suburb, black against white, FReeper against FReeper, etc., etc. It’s working. Pay people to turn in their brother...$oro$-like.

Suppose you had the smartest, EVIL minds in the world thinking of toppling The United States of America. Could you send it into chaos? Topple it? How? What vehicle could you use? What control tangents could you veer off from the vehicle? Does the vehicle have plausible deniability built into it? Would you practice with an event to lay down a template or just go ahead with it? NO need to answer. NO opposing views allowed to be amplified on a large platform. WITNESS.

Evil people always support each other; that is their chief strength. - Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

Mengele’s boys Anthony Fauxi and microSoftkill Bill love it. Divide, Control, Inject.

...at the start of World War II, then transferred to the Nazi concentration camps service in early 1943 and assigned to Auschwitz, where he saw the opportunity to conduct genetic research on human subjects.

Gain of function must go on. L4 labs must go on.

Historical archetypes.

History unfolding in front of us. The long arc of history is not bending toward more freedom right now.

C’mon November

READY - AIM - VOTE
