California Sheriff Defies Gavin Newsom: I Refuse to Make Criminals out of Business Owners and Moms

"Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco isn’t about to begin harassing the American people for doing what they should be doing, and that’s going back out and earning a living, producing goods, and generally creating a healthy society. As such, he told the Riverside County Board of Supervisors that he and his department will not be enforcing Governor Gavin Newsom’s overreaching orders.

"Bianco began by noting that it wasn’t that long ago that the government “ordered residents into their homes, closed their businesses, made them wear masks, forbid them from going to church, and eliminated constitutional freedoms put in place over 200 years ago” in the name of curbing the public health crisis.
"Bianco admitted that it worked, but that while the curve was flattened, there were other numbers not being emphasized.
“ 'What isn’t being emphasized is that 2,000 of the 4,300 people who have tested positive have already recovered and returned to work,” said Bianco. “What that means is that out of two and a half million people in Riverside County, we have only 2,300 residents positive with this virus. Statistically, that is less than a tenth of one percent.”
"Bianco also noted that the tragic loss of 181 lives due to the virus, but also threw out the stat that this was 7/1000 of one percent." . . .
