A fight over face coverings caused panic and false rumors of shots being fired which led to a large police response at a Thousand Oaks mall Saturday evening, authorities said.

The incident started when two men confronted a third man over his refusal to wear a mask inside The Oaks Mall...

911 started receiving several calls reporting shots being fired and also of someone brandishing a firearm.

Other callers said that the off-duty L.A. deputy had pulled out his concealed handgun to stop a fight, and some people reported seeing four to five people engaging in a fight, authorities said.

“The situation caused confusion and panic among some shoppers,” officials said, adding that the incident prompted faulty rumors of shots fired which led to a large response of 16 patrol units.

No shots were fired, the sheriff’s office said, and there were only some minor injuries from the fight.

None of the men involved wanted to pursue any criminal charges, authorities said.

The political masks are purely about the Left forcing “political correctness” (the Leftist agenda) on the people.

Regardless of the hypocrisy and lies of the Left, the masks have NOTHING to do with medial purposes, only political purposes

“All the fear mongering is causing people to turn on each other.”

And the identity politics. They pour gas on everything, light a match, hold up the match and say, “Time to heal!”

They were so concerned about the virus that they got into someone’s face and then caused a number of people to congregate together...well played (rolling eyes)

Time to let socialists take control to heal us, make make everything nice again end end covid and lockdowns.

Just need to get your vaccine and ImmuniPass card, your phone immunity app with tracking always enabled and your property turned over to the state. No big deal, sheeple.

If California subjects were following King Newsom’s edicts...there wouldn’t have been people at the mall.

No people...no fights.

Come on people!

I can hardly wait to see the headlines from Pasadena when the little old lady (who used to be an HOA gestapo agent) maskarens someone walking in the fresh air with no mask on. Thinking that whoever came up with the plan to let “volunteers” attempt to enforce some unconstitutional mask mandate must have been tokin’ a little heavy. NOT a good plan. Will they do like the epa has done. Not a law but a ‘rule/regulation’ carrying the weight of a law? How TF does that even work? Is it all rolled in to the states emergency powers act?

So I go to Youtube expecting to find some wannabe streamer instigated the whole thing, but so far all that's there are the KTLA story, and one more from some gibmedat describing what she saw. She was there, no doubt, but I'm not linking because here was her commentary:

"This couple was clutching each other and running and said you gotta get outta here. My sister saw people running down the stairs, and she thought a new store was opening up or something."

"A new store was opening up or something."
"A new store was opening up or something."

When we lived in T.O., The Oaks was a nice mall. It sounds like they decided to go ghetto. (Thank You, Lord, for getting us out of California!)
