Because the American philosophy is one of the individual rights and the citizens over the state, many refuse to comply with these unconstitutional orders, leading to mass firings across the nation. And San Diego is no different.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">On Friday, hundreds of protestors gathered outside City Hall to oppose Mayor Todd Gloria\u2019s vaccine mandate for city officials by December 1. The protestors shared their grievances, including Police Sgt. Matt Randolph. In his speech, he said that \u201cThese officers want to stay with this great police department to continue to protect and serve you, but they can only do so with your help. So, I ask you: please rise up, use your voice and stand with these officers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The first responders, who generally resist government overreach efforts, threatened to quit their jobs if City Hall kept the mandates. \u201cI\u2019m going to walk; I\u2019m not getting the vaccine. No way, this is a decision I sit down with my family, and we made this decision as a group. My family doesn\u2019t want to get vaccinated, and we believe in that,\u201d firefighter Jim Mickelson exclaimed.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Mayor Gloria reacted to the gathering with a bland statement with one memorable line. He stated that \u201cThe health and welfare of the public and our employees outweigh any temporary staffing issues.\u201d But, of course, this means that Gloria won\u2019t repeal the vaccine orders since, in his admission, he can always replace them.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Gloria is setting himself up for failure because not only is he laying off the people who keep us safe (effectively increasing crime rates), he will also have trouble finding replacements. Even though new first responders may consent to the vaccine mandates, eventually, new unconstitutional orders will force them out as well. I don\u2019t want to say we told you so, but I cannot offer any other response.<\/p>\n<div class=\"yj6qo\">Photo Cred: ABC 10 News KGTV<\/div>\n<div class=\"adL\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Written by Nathaniel Mannor The divide between politicians and the ordinary man continues to grow with various vaccine mandates Democratic governments impose onto their citizens.
