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.

Target doesn’t escort men out of the women’s/girls’ restroom or dressing room.
How queer.
Maybe we can get a multi-jet flyover in appreciation.
And a tickertape parade
>> but I do believe they have the right to set rules for entry into their stores.
Bake the cake says otherwise.
They are open to the public. Serve them.
Change your prices to 1000 per item..minimum. Deep discounts if paid for( you know what I mean). That way you can arrest the perps.
Don’t shop at Target.
Oh, and I refuse to shop at Costco while they have the BS mandatory mask policy.
>>If it’s Target’s store and they say you wear a mask or leave, how does the State fine a baker and remove their license for not baking a wedding cake?
IN a state where the state government didn’t even recognize same sex marriage. That’s what makes the persecution of the store so hypocritical.
There it is.
the N95's might be better then the flimsy paper ones...
but you're right....wearing a mask is primarily to protect others...
In western MD, the WalMart cashiers are stuck looking official but halfway back in the store, the employees and most of the customers are wearing their masks as a jabots, now.
One of the electronics managers wears half of a Michael Myers mask when he feels like someone is watching.
A slow revolution but a revolution, nonetheless.
They are open to the public. Serve them.
Does that mean you're also in favor of forcing bakeries to bake cakes for perverts? Not me. A business should be able to choose who they want to do business with.
Exactly.
This is the most useless exercise in futility, ever.

"The main transmission path is long-residence-time aerosol particles (< 2.5 μm), which are too fine to be blocked, and the minimum-infective-dose is smaller than one aerosol particle."

In conclusion, we have measured the filtration efficiencies of various commonly available fabrics for use as cloth masks in filtering particles in the significant (for aerosol-based virus transmission) size range of ∼10 nm to ∼6 μm and have presented filtration efficiency data as a function of aerosol particle size. We find that cotton, natural silk, and chiffon can provide good protection, typically above 50% in the entire 10 nm to 6.0 μm range, provided they have a tight weave. Higher threads per inch cotton with tighter weaves resulted in better filtration efficiencies. For instance, a 600 TPI cotton sheet can provide average filtration efficiencies of 79 ± 23% (in the 10 nm to 300 nm range) and 98.4 ± 0.2% (in the 300 nm to 6 μm range). A cotton quilt with batting provides 96 ± 2% (10 nm to 300 nm) and 96.1 ± 0.3% (300 nm to 6 μm). Likely the highly tangled fibrous nature of the batting aids in the superior performance at small particle sizes. Materials such as silk and chiffon are particularly effective (considering their sheerness) at excluding particles in the nanoscale regime (<∼100 nm), likely due to electrostatic effects that result in charge transfer with nanoscale aerosol particles. A four-layer silk (used, for instance, as a scarf) was surprisingly effective with an average efficiency of >85% across the 10 nm −6 μm particle size range. As a result, we found that hybrid combinations of cloths such as high threads-per-inch cotton along with silk, chiffon, or flannel can provide broad filtration coverage across both the nanoscale (<300 nm) and micron scale (300 nm to 6 μm) range, likely due to the combined effects of electrostatic and physical filtering. Finally, it is important to note that openings and gaps (such as those between the mask edge and the facial contours) can degrade the performance. Our findings indicate that leakages around the mask area can degrade efficiencies by ∼50% or more, pointing out the importance of “fit”. Opportunities for future studies include cloth mask design for better “fit” and the role of factors such as humidity (arising from exhalation) and the role of repeated use and washing of cloth masks. In summary, we find that the use of cloth masks can potentially provide significant protection against the transmission of particles in the aerosol size range.
I carry my doctor’s note with me.
I tell them and they don’t even want to see and do not care.
I didn’t post my link correctly. Here is the correct one:

For some reason I was required to format my post even though I wasn’t using HTML.
You forgot the sarcasm footnote.
True. Amazing the number of “we’re all gonna die” pearl clutches here.
Masks are the new “ribbon”. people wear them to feel included in the “fight” du jour.
Yep, ribbon or plastic colored bracelet.
Yup.
