EUGENE, Ore. -- The owner of a Eugene cookie store was assaulted while trying to enforce the mask mandate on Wednesday, police say.
It happened at about 11 a.m. at Crumb Together on Oak Street when a man and woman walked into the business and refused to wear a mask, police said. Police said Ricki Collin, 34, and Amy Hall, 45, both of the Portland area, were arrested and taken to the Lane County Jail after the altercation.

Meanwhile, the owner of the business was taken to a hospital for treatment of her cuts and bruises.
The man involved recorded the incident and shared it live on YouTube on Wednesday.
It begins with the man walking toward Crumb Together, saying he's heard reports the owner was chasing customers out of the store with a baseball bat.
The video shows the two going into the cookie store and the owner is heard saying they can't be in there because they don't have masks on. That's when the man says businesses have to serve the public and the owner repeatedly asks them to leave.
You can see the owner of Crumb Together try to point them to the door. The woman shoves the owner, who goes behind the counter to grab a baseball bat, but the man and woman again refused to leave. In the video, you can see the woman grab the bat, starting a physical fight between the three.
Police said Collin and Hall flagged down officers who were nearby following the assault and provided the video of the incident for officers to review. That's when officers took them both into custody for third-degree assault. Collin was also charged with third-degree robbery for reportedly walking away with the bat.
Back in August, the owners shared how they put out signs about their mask requirement. It said, "Because of the unvaccinated, masks required again. Thank you for your support!"
The owner, Deirdre Steirpe, told KEZI at the time that she'd had enough with those who choose to be unvaccinated.
"I was infuriated, I was angry, you know this has really affected our business and you know as a business owner, freedom of speech and I felt it was necessary," said Steirpe.
In October, owners of the store posted on the Crumb Together Twitter account about issues with prank calls and claiming that an anti-masker pointed a gun in their direction while in a vehicle. To read the thread, CLICK HERE.
EDITOR'S NOTE: The video of the incident has been taken down.
Obviously, a flaming liberal establishment...would never enter a place with a “No Justice, No Peace” sign. But, if the owner wants you to wear a mask, I have no problem with it. It is their business.
Radical liberals beating up radical liberals.
Welcome to Oregon.
Wow. At first glace, my brain somehow turned the first three words of the headline into ‘Eugene Stoner’.
Probably more correct than you know...................
Radical liberals want everybody to live under their rules except themselves...................
glace=glance. Dammit.
I have a bigger problem with folks who voluntarily wear masks. If you do so voluntarily you are not human, you are a sheep.
In my thoughtful opinion, it is a business unworthy of a rational person's patronage because of the mask bullying.

If you believe in property rights, you’ve got to side with the owner here. Absent protected class status (you cannot deny service to a veteran, for example) a business should be able to make its own rules. “No shoes, no service”, etc.
Disclaimer: I do not wear a mask. If a business just recommends a mask, I’ll enter without one. If a business requires a mask, I’ll shop somewhere else.
Hey, it’s Eugene. So does Antifa come down on the side of authoritarian mask control or does it burn the place down in the name of nonconformity, all while wearing masks? What’s a revolutionary to do?
Clearly, a false flag to impugn anti-maskers. How much were they paid by DOJ?
Oh, I would agree wholeheartedly. I meant to say that it’s their right to do it...doesn’t mean I would patronize it.
The fascist owner started the violence. The non-complying customers will be sent to the gulag for reeducation and to learn how to bow down in submission and be good little sheep.
Sure, and if they don't want to serve black people...want to deny you your inalienable right to keep and bear arms...don't want to adhere to fire codes...

If private property is respected, businesses can deny access to anybody.
The democrats thrive on division and pitting people against each other.
