There is a lot of outrage over this video of a Colorado health inspector pouring bleach into a “street vendor’s” food.
The video is a lie. The truth is this: It wasn’t just over a fee. This so-called street vendor is a business being operated by an illegal immigrant, a man by the name of Isidro Garcia Barrientos. He is operating this business without licenses, and after having received more than a dozen health code violations for unsanitary conditions and improper storage of food. Each time, the workers simply move the popup to a different location and resume selling. So far, he has been seen operating in several counties and cities, and has been dodging the law for months.
In this case, the health worker showed up, and the workers again started boxing up the food to relocate, placing it into a locked truck and refusing to obey the law. To prevent this, the health inspector poured bleach in the food. The inspector was doing her job and isn’t being charged with any crimes.

You can’t hate the media enough.

Welcome to the ICE version of health inspectors, lawbreakers! This is basically the chemical equivalent of putting a restraining boot on your car (or towing it) for parking violations.

I guess it would alright to destroy a persons car that didn’t pull over in a timely matter. The food is this persons personal property.

Uh, yeah. Have you seen a PIT maneuver?
The food hasn’t been stored or cooked at the proper temperatures. The guy is refusing to obey the law. I don’t have a single problem with this.

Or spike strips, or a boot, or that thing they put on windows now.

Wadda ya bet the illegal still tries to sell the food…..rinse off the bleach, spice it up and find a new location to set up.

That’s what I was thinking. They’ll try selling it anyway.

No wonder Derrick Evans is a former WV congressman. He’s an idiot to repost stuff from Tik Tok without verifying its validity. And apparently he has a lot of idiot followers on social media who blindly believe his crap.

I’m more of a caveat emptor, anarcho-capitalist type myself, but if a community decides on a set of rules they think will work best for them, that’s their business. Either follow the rules or move to a community with different rules. Hint: maybe the country you came from would better suit you.
