The court did not provide permission to padlock the doors at this time but continues to reserve such a remedy as a last resort,\u201d <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.burbankca.gov\/Home\/Components\/News\/News\/4597\/25\"><span>the city said in a statement on March 12<\/span><\/a><span>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Speaking on social media, the establishment quoted President Thomas Jefferson in an <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CMTquLPFy7w\/?utm_source=ig_embed\"><span>Instagram post<\/span><\/a><span> \u201chours before the judge\u2019s ruling.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cI simply will NEVER comply,\u201d they appended to Jefferson\u2019s quote. \u201cNot for any reason and not from any advice from anyone. I choose to disobey rules that have zero science behind them and rules that directly threaten my livelihood needlessly. These people implementing and following these rules do NOT represent my values nor my beliefs. I will go down with my ship if need be,\u201d the caption of the post said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>As referenced by the original Daily Wire report, \u201cthe city of Burbank has been going after Tinhorn Flats for months after bureaucrats realized the restaurant was allegedly not abiding by the city\u2019s COVID-19 mandates last December.\u201d&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>During a \u201cspecial meeting\u201d held by the Burbank City Council on February 22, the hyperbolic nature of these efforts were put on full display when Council Member Konstantine Anthony rejected Tin Horn Flats\u2019 argument by comparing them to Rosa Parks, saying that \u201cRosa Parks actually had to sit in jail after she was taken off the bus.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cThe idea that the health of this and the science is debatable, and simply because there\u2019s a debate we can throw out all of these orders, that is ludicrous. That is not the way you run society, or government. You do the best you can, you get the smartest people in the room, you take a democratic vote and you pass laws and ordinances,\u201d Anthony said soon after the 4:16:00 mark in the recording of the meeting.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cAnd if they\u2019re wrong, they get changed, and if they\u2019re unconstitutional they get thrown out in court. But you take them as they come, and you follow the law as it is.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cYou know, Rosa Parks actually had to sit in jail after she was taken off the bus. She did her time!\u201d he said, after a brief pause. He then appeared to immediately undermine his own argument.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cI mean, granted she changed the law. The courts came down and ruled in her favor, but she still had to pay the penance by violating a lawful order, at the time. It was a lawful order at the time. So we have to look at the time and the dates that we have before us. The violations were done at the time when there was a lawful order in place. Not before, not after, but during. If it changes down the line, that\u2019s a different conversation.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Burbank City Council Special Meeting - February 22, 2021\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/k3HcYoT-v5A?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<p><span>As the Daily Wire reported last week, \u201cRestaurant co-owner Lucas Lepejian told a local outlet that he was unafraid of city officials because his business was operating safely.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cThey\u2019re coming after us for having 10, 15 people in a small environment.
