Lightfoot said she makes no apologies for protecting family. Lightfoot gives her full support to BLM riots so long as they are not in her neighborhood. [Quite typical of the collectivist elite.]

Carlos Zapata, a mayor in Shasta County, told the county leaders that families are starving and the restrictions on business are causing good law-abiding citizens to become revolutionaries who will go to war against them if they continue.
