Colorado suspends license of Castle Rock restaurant that defied coronavirus public health order

Hope more states to this to clowns they cant follow simple rules

State health officials on Monday suspended the license of a Castle Rock restaurant that opened to large Mother's Day crowds, a warning to other Colorado eateries that might also consider defying the statewide public health order that limits restaurants to take-out and delivery services.

C&C Coffee and Kitchen presents an "immediate health hazard," Gov. Jared Polis said at a news conference, and its business license will be suspended until it no longer creates a threat to public health — likely for at least 30 days.


"I hope, I pray that nobody falls sick from businesses that chose to violate the law," Polis said when announcing the suspension. "But if the state didn't act and more businesses followed suit, it's a near guarantee that people would lose their lives and it would further delay the opening of legitimate businesses."

The eatery remained open Monday afternoon despite the suspension and an order from the Tri-County Health Department to shut down. Customers continued to dine there, with some saying they wanted to show support for the restaurant.

"It is disheartening that this restaurant has chosen to move ahead of the public orders and not even consider implementing best practices to prevent the spread of COVID-19," John Douglas, Tri-County's executive director, said in a statement announcing the closure order.

Fuck yeah I'm afraid, it's a deadly virus that has killed over 250000 worldwide. I'm also not going to drive with my eyes closed just to show how brave I am. What the fuck is wrong with people.

What the hell is wrong with a sizable portion of Americans? They're uniquely selfish in the world community.

The whole country will end up paying for this.

A single man in SK spawned 100 cases after clubhopping.

Karen's and their spawn who needed Mother's Day brunch will infect more.

Holy shit.

Seriously, charge these people. I don't understand why we're not throwing people in jail who illegally defy orders.

you have people like this everywhere, there are millions here in Canada that feel the same way, and it really pisses me off.

all they see are numbers, and not people. unless it affects them personally.

look at boris johnson. so this attitude isn't uniquely american. but there are definitely a lot of them there.

It's by far the least diverse place I've lived, though i guess the other places I've lived are probably more diverse than average (North Florida and northern California).

These aren't necessarily Trumpers who were doing this shit. Colorado is unfortunately home to a ton of anti-vaxxers who are also touting this whole "Covid-19 is a hoax/you're violating my freedoms/I need my latte while sitting in your restaurant" bullshit going around. Thankfully, those types of people are still vastly outnumbered by those of us who understand the severity of the virus and aren't selfish fuckwits.

And yes Colorado is very white outside of Metro Denver. I live about 25 minutes south of the city, and while it is getting a whole lot more diverse than it was, it's still a bunch of upper middle class white people around here.

This is the town I live in and I was wondering when someone was going to make a thread on it. The county I live in is known as a pretty conservative one, unfortunately. My kid drove by the place when police were talking to them outside and shouted "Fuck you!" So proud.

Castle Rock is super white.

My wife and I ate at a local restaurant there several years ago, and we were the only people of color in the room. When I got up to go to the bathroom, everybody stared at me.

Now it's just a place we drive through.

Hopefully the city can shut the power off or something to force them to shutdown. Fuck 'em.

White Americans unfortunately value their individual freedoms to make poor choices like this over staying home.

Hopefully people that went end up getting infected and then using the restaurant for being open to put them into an at-risk situation in the first place. It wouldn't fly but it would cost the restaurant money to defend.

I think they want to have a bubble where they can pretend that this isn't happening. They can't deal with the fear either so they choose delusion.

Problem is, they endanger the whole region by spreading the virus,, not just themselves.

They need to disable the door when the owners are offsite. I'm not sure how else they can do it.

Castle Rock and Parker are some of the more "rich" cities in CO. Also, I think I've been to that restaurant once. It was ok.
