Two men who allegedly refused to wear masks inside a Target store in California are facing felony battery charges after a fight that left an employee security guard with a broken arm, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.
The suspects were not wearing face coverings when they entered the store's Van Nuys location on May 1, and were confronted by store employees, police said in a statement released on Monday. They were being escorted out of the store when the fight broke out, police said in a statement released on Monday.

Good to see Target stores enforcing their rules!
I’m not empathizing with Target
Masks don’t work to prevent catching the virus. (They may work reducing spread if sick people wear them, like Asia has been doing for decades)
Healthy people wearing masks doesn’t work in real life.
Tempers are getting short. This lockdown is going to end bloody.
But you have to wear a mask to do so.
People are getting fed up
Target employee is a “HERO”! Think of the millions of lives they saved!
The strong arm tactic wasn’t strong enough!
Nice to see Target is making sure they don’t risk the .00001 chance of dying from Corona.
No mask
No gloves
No service
A really stupid situation that should have never gone to violence.
Good to see Americans refusing to comply with the BS. Monday needs to be “open America” day. No masks, no BS, go to work, shake hands, etc.... back to normal.
They government has decided to completely alter life here for an unjustified reason. Time for us to refuse to play ball anymore. They can’t arrest us all.
I’m not empathizing with Target

Me neither.
...and I respect people in uniform, but I do not believe people should get man-handled or accosted by employee/civilians just because they call themselves ‘security’. ... but I didn’t look to see how this went down. Perhaps those being charged here were indeed the aggressors, but I always question it.
Men can go in the women’s restroom there and scare little girls. But don’t dare walk in there without a mask.
Me neither.
Might be a good opportunity for a pro bono case if the facts and law support the idea.
If you wish to wear a mask. Fine, do so. If you don’t, that’s ok too.This whole thing is making the Democrat party very happy!
“Healthy people wearing masks doesn’t work in real life.”
How do you know that everyone without a mask is healthy?
It doesn’t reduce much even if sick people wear them. Masks are pretty much useless except for virtue signaling. That said stores have a right to request you wear them just as you have a right not to s red such institutions. There is no place or excuse for violence in the debate particularly against employees who don’t make the policy
