Foreign Communist Candidate for LA Mayor Nithya Raman Wants to Ban Backyard BBQs Because the Transnational Invaders Instinctively Make Endless War on American Normies

Their absolute hatred of anything normal and wholesome, and their absolute determination to steal away any simple pleasure from the working and middle classes, is demonic.

I'm sure you remember this same instinct in full effect during the lockdown.

But Black Lives Matter thugs are allowed to dance in the streets, of course.

LA mayoral hopeful Nithya Raman proposes backyard BBQ ban
Los Angeles mayoral hopeful Nithya Raman wanted to ban backyard barbecues for residents during certain high fire danger days across the city.
Raman introduced a motion Wednesday directing city officials to examine emergency restrictions on grilling during Red Flag Warning days, when high winds and dry conditions significantly increase wildfire danger across Los Angeles.
The proposal specifically asks officials to consider possible limits on backyard barbecues, fire pits and other open flames in residential neighborhoods during those high-risk weather events.
Councilmember Monica Rodriguez, who represents much of the San Fernando Valley, stepped in and successfully blocked the proposal by introducing a separate motion that stripped Raman's barbecue ban.
"The last thing Angelenos need is a ban on hosting a carne asada in their own backyard," Rodriguez told The California Post.
...
"We're not checking the weather for red flag conditions before planning a backyard barbecue," Rodriguez said. "This is what families do. Birthday parties. Carne asadas. Family gatherings. A lot of people barbecue."
The same motion would have also had a major impact on restaurants that cook with open flames. Rodriguez said she started hearing concerns from restaurant owners when the motion was being passed around.
"You had restaurant owners calling it out saying, 'This is going to affect our business,'" she said.

Note that her interest in public safety is strictly limited. She insists that kids will not be safer with a ban on illegal homeless encampments just 500 feet from a school:

Watch Nithya Raman’s constituents BOO her when she says it doesn’t matter if homeless drug encampments are cleared out or left right next to a school. Then she rolls her eyes. No wonder everyone hates her. pic.twitter.com/dnSrZLPIoe

But when she sees the chance to stick it to the middle class, she's on it like a Somali on a Medicaid scam.

Spencer Pratt: I will clean up homeless encampments, address drug addicts, & prevent fires from burning down people's homes.

Karen Bass: I will spend your money on teeth for meth addicts.

Nithya Raman: I will ban grilling burgers in the backyard.

Your choice, Los Angeles.

17 It's Nithya's race to lose to Pratt. Bass would love to have it easy and go against Pratt in the general. Any other candidate like Rae or Miller is throwing your vote away

Turn out is going to be terrible. Nobody is paying attention to this race. I would be turnout will be 20%. That heavily favors incumbents.

Most people won't vote for Bass. But they will split the anti-Bass vote between Naman and Pratt. Then, in November Bass will win with the help of her detractors who still would choose her over a Republican.
In a highly partisan environment, there's basically no way for an establishment incumbent to lose. This is why polarization leads to dysfunctional government.

Street homelessness is down 18%. Bass is getting L.A. Olympic ready. People don’t want to vote for MAGA nor DSA.

I voted for Raman who’s better than Bass, who’s going to win if Raman doesn’t. Best case scenario is Raman pulls it off, worst case scenario Bass wins again. Pratt has no chance so that’s not a scenario.

Raman attended Harvard and MIT but she didn't go from there to get rich in tech or investing. According to ChatGPT, she worked in urban planning, architecture/planning-related consulting, and affordable-housing / homelessness advocacy work. I think she's a true believer, which is scary.

She is probably an insane Indian vegetarian.

Years ago, I knew a couple who liked to grill and BBQ in the summer.

Their Indian neighbors, the wife specifically, kept coming over every time they used their grill to complain that the smell was making them sick and poisoning them...

So....yeah...

One of the more risible/infuriating tendencies is an inability to accept that our Bill of Rights means what it says; they literally cannot conceive that the Framers actually meant those words, so they asspull that it was poetic.

Right now, it looks like bacon, bunless burger, and steak...with some eggs (apparently under 1 carb is okay)...

I'm convinced that's the real problem all the Hindus have with BBQs. That's why they complain about smells and poisoning them when a little bit of the delicious aroma of hamburgers and steak permeating their nostrils.

Do the Hindus drink cow's milk or is that verboten too?

238 161 I once saw a video clip of a train in India with as many people on the roof as in the cars. One guy was standing when the train lurched. He instinctively grabbed for the nearest point to steady himself, which turned out to be the power line above the train.

It did not go well for him.

243 229 Indians just kept having kids while the rest of the world stopped.

The Indian fertility rate is below replacement.

ndia's Total Fertility Rate (TFR) stands at 1.9 births per woman, which is below the replacement level of 2.1.A TFR of 2.1 is the required rate for a generation to exactly replace itself. India’s drop to 1.9 means the country's population growth will eventually stabilize and begin to decline

It's just that most of them come to the U.S., and don't give a crap about the traditions or history or civics of this nation.

They aren't unique with that problem among immigrant populations, but the Indians do really well in this country and far too many of them still want to transform America into India.
