The Battle of Tinhorn Flats

In Canada the government built a fence around a church that refused to close—the church stayed open per Canadian law—and the government has decided to violate the national law.  Now the cops in Burbank, deciding that they will decide who is essential, who can have a business and who may be a customer has done the same.  They have built a fence around a bar in town—just to make sure they kill off the business.  Can not wait for the lawsuit and the city forced to provide scientific data for closing the bar or any business in town.

“Lucas’s latest offense? “A Burbank Municipal Code Violation for removing sandbags that were put in front of the doors of Tinhorn Flats by the City of Burbank.”

About half of the myburbank.com article quotes Burbank police (“… arrested by officers in front of Tin Horn Flats for altering efforts the City has implemented to prevent entry …”) and Burbank municipal code (“… requirements thereof or who erects, constructs, alters, or repairs a building or structure in violation of the approved construction … “),  leaving to the very last line a single clue to the massiveness of the dark forces arrayed to snuff out the Tinhorn Flats spark: “Facebook has taken down the Tinhorn Flats page.”   

As anyone can see from the Tinhorn Flats’ Instagram page, the restaurant supports freedom, capitalism and President Trump, and reviles tyranny, socialism and Governor Newsom. No wonder they are in the crosshairs — but no wonder they are in the fight! 

Now is the time to Recall all members of the Burbank city council for running a rogue, anti family, anti-business police force.  Any wonder folks are fleeing California? 

The Battle of Tinhorn Flats

Written by: Diana West, 4/7/21   

You probably never heard of Tinhorn Flats. I had not, not until photographer Peter Duke alerted me to a protest there this week, where he shot these photos. But all Americans should know about Tinhorn Flats, a Western-themed restaurant in the middle of Burbank, California, where Angelenos yearning to breathe free (maskless) of the corona hoax tyranny and peacefully assemble for beer and burgers according to their constitutional rights and good taste have rallied, and continue to rally, yes, for freedom.

Local media coverage sketches in only the outline of this small business’s epic struggle against dictatorial Big Government and Big Tech, not to mention Big Fear and Big Apathy. The most recent account of the restaurant’s battle to stay open for business and liberty documents the third arrest since April 1 by Burbank police of Lucas Lepejian (photo below), the 20-year-old son of Tinhorn Flats proprietor Baret Lupejian.

Lucas’s latest offense? “A Burbank Municipal Code Violation for removing sandbags that were put in front of the doors of Tinhorn Flats by the City of Burbank.”
