In case you missed it on Friday the 13, the rumors you've been seeing on social media are true. The video below should un-debunk -- or whatever the proper term is -- any conspiracy theories out there that are saying that Governor Brown is going to send law enforcement out against Thanksgiving gatherings.

Yes, that's right. It's true. She said it. And she might send the state police after you. If you're an individual, your mother -- er, your Governor -- is not asking you. She's telling you to stop with the informal get-togethers, including Thanksgiving dinner, as she made clear in her executive order. If you're a business, you have until Wednesday to begin to follow stricter guidlines for two weeks, or whenever she reviews the situation and decides that you can go back to regular business.

This is a transcript of the short 50 second video below:

In terms of individuals, I am not asking you. I am telling you to stop your social gatherings, your informal social gatherings, and your house parties and to limit your social interactions to six and under -- not more than one household -- and I'm asking that immeadiately. I will take stronger legal action as appropriate. I've already directed the superintendent of state police to begin to work with local law enforcement to legally enforce the informal social gathering orders.

All this, despite the fact that many people have pointed out that some of her policies lack scientific foundation. All her policies lack transparency, as she is refusing to honor any public records requests made of her COVID council.

The Northwest Observer will continue to operate during the shutdown, protected by the fact that we are an entirely virtual operation and protected by the first amendment to the US Constitution. If you have any experience with law enforcement regarding the shutdown or social gatherings, please drop us a line at editor@northwestobserver.com
