Following reports of large parties that violate health orders aimed at slowing the spread of the novel coronavirus, Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti announced Wednesday that he will authorize the city to shut off water and power services to residents who hold such gatherings.

Beginning Friday night, if Los Angeles Police Department officers respond to and verify that a large party is occurring at a property, and there’s evidence that the venue has repeatedly engaged in such behavior, the department will request that the city shut off water and power services within 48 hours.

Like I said in the other thread on this topic.

This is one of many reasons we have a HUGE generator and a well for water.
You cant take away what I dont need.

Sounds like they want to get sued. They have no right to shut off your utilities as long as you pay your bill. This could also be a health and safety issue if they turn them off. No drinking water? What if there are kids in the house? Up here they're not even allowed to turn off your power in the winter if you're months behind on your bill but its OK there to take away something you've paid for.

Every week NY and CA have a contest to try and see who can come up with the most idiotic rules

So, let me see if I understand this...

someone has a large party, which the administration has said "no" to claiming it will spread covid.
so they turn off the water, forcing these now (supposedly) contagious individuals into the public to acquire things needed to survive.

Have I got this straight?

Dumbasses.

Put up enough BLM signs and it's not a party but a protest and you're GTG
