How California s State of Jefferson found new targets | The Sacramento Bee

Carlos Zapata has a message for any government official who shows up at his Tehama County restaurant and tries to enforce California s pandemic shutdown orders.

I ve made it very clear that if they come to shut us down, I m going to call 100,000 people that ll be there with guns, and what happens happens, you know? Zapata said Tuesday. I m hoping that they re not stupid enough to want that kind of a fight over a restaurant being open, but if they want it, we ll definitely give it to them.

It s not the first time the Red Bluff restaurant owner and U.S. Marine combat veteran has made those kinds of threats. A few weeks ago, he told the Shasta County Board of Supervisors to expect trouble if they enforce Gov. Gavin Newsom s COVID-19 restrictions on local businesses.
