Fresno City Council President Miguel Arias was issued three citations for misdemeanor battery Tuesday evening after a group with strong ties to shelter-in-place protests showed up on his doorstep.

Members of the group pursued a citizens arrest after videotaping Arias apparently pushing at least one of them. No one was injured, said Fresno police Lt. Anthony DeWall.

After the situation at Arias' downtown apartment had calmed, a group opposed to the city's shelter-in-place order went to Mayor Lee Brand's home. Brand said in a statement they had a peaceful discussion and he went back inside.

Anti-shelter in place protests are funded by major right-wing think tanks and signal boosted by the Russians.

Conservatives getting the law on their side when it comes to stand your ground - when they've invaded someone's home - sounds about right for America.

Any "lawsuit" they have planned will hopefully be scrapped when these morons end up in the hospital with COVID

Wherever
It looked like the council member was on the public staircase of his apartment and shoved someone? Why was he shoving that guy? I think shelter-in-place protestors are barking up the wrong tree but you can't just put hands on people for no reason in public spaces.

Edit: I appear to be misinformed about property laws. Apologies :(

Wait, so the Council member, whose home these 'protesters' showed up to, unannounced, is the one getting cited?
Would the online threats and then these morons with cameras showing up at his place not work in his defense, even if he shoved them while on the staircase. Last i checked, a stairwell on an apartment building isn't public property.

Fuck these morons.

Council member did nothing wrong.

Those staircases aren't public, they're part of his apartment building.

They crossed a lot of fucking lines.

You don't just show up to a FUCKING COUNCIL MEMBER'S apartment where his family is sheltering in place and pull this garbage.

Fuck these people, and fuck the police.

I know the area, this is in a gated apartment complex. These people did not have any right to be on private property doing what they did. The council member should have called the cops instead of reacting and giving into them. Fresno cops and Fresno City employees have never seen eye to eye unless it was down the barrel of an officers gun. So no surprise they took a side in the situation instead of teach all those involved a lesson.

Going by past precedent of similar stories of people invading private property and acting threateningly towards someone, I have learned that the correct thing for the councilman to do in a case like this would be to pull out his gun and shoot the trespassers to death. Stand your ground, right? No problems whatsoever.

Oh, what's that? The councilman isn't white? Well fuck all that then, he should have just let all these people walk right into his apartment and berate him, rather than lightly pushing away someone approaching him acting like they're the new TMZ. Come on, councilman, where's your sense of decorum?!

Good fucking lord Trumps base is full of some of the weakest willed motherfuckers on the planet.

Did I hear a grown ass man yell out "My fathers a lawyer!"? Lmao.

Also; is part of being a member of white supremacy groups like the GOP, local PDs, etc. the inability to fist fight?
