Fascinating that Trumpers could care less about virus deaths until Biden became President. Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

| Gandler Member since: Aug 15, 2019 Threads: 30 Posts: 5258 | Here is a prime example (and a very entertaining video) of a woman, Karen (that is her actual name) who refuses to leave a store after being told to mask or leave, and then police are eventually called after she makes a scene, is told by them to leave, still refuses, gets arrested. A lot of people are hailing her as a hero (certainly in her mind), this is the prime entitlement mentality. You have to follow the rules of the store you are at. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AD_ZdQehf28 (body cam footage no commentary) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0kXLNM279YY&t=87s (excellent review) (Court update, plead no contest, sentencing on 11MAR2021, banned for life from all locations of that store brand). So far no updates on her "personally suing" the arresting officers or anyone else.... I think it is good that people like this get arrested and exposed, no just for not wearing a mask, what bothers me far more is the entitlement of "its a business that serves the public they can't ban me". Videos and stories like this make me very hopeful for the American recovery. |

We can have no recovery as long as the mask patrols think they are going to die if someone is not wearing a mask. War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength |

Nobody thinks that, but it does reduce spread. But, the point is we need to support buisneses that are being responsible and banning dangerous people. |

You can support those businesses. I will support businesses that do not support a mask fear culture. BTW: Hate to break it to you, but people do think they are going to die if someone is not wearing a mask. Lots of maskers think this way. War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength |

There is no doubt masks work. None at all. TAIWAN 8 deaths USA with conservatives against masks 500000 dead The math is stunning The stupidity to be against masks is even more stunning Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

Some people are just selfish and don't care if others die. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a deterrent. |
