For the first time ever, law-abiding-little-ol’-me had my first run-in with police because of silly COVID mandates. A supermarketed manager called the cops on me because I wasn’t wearing a face diaper. When I refused to wear one in the store, they issued a criminal trespass warning against me for the property. I was told that not only could I not enter the supermarket anymore, but any other property in the shopping center, including the parking lot.

This is how tyrannical this period was.

Personally, I think you picked the wrong hill to make your stand.

As ridiculous as those stupid rules were, I would never take the position that I could openly violate a rule that was put in place IN SOMEONE ELSE’S PROPERTY.

Fighting a face diaper rule in a public place is fine. Fighting the same rule inside a private business establishment is not.

And they thereby lost ALL of your business. Who was really harmed by their actions? (Noseless faces look ridiculous ...)

Our mild pastor was banned from Menard’s in Angola after the state lifted the mask requirement from businesses. Menard’s had not done so. I can guarantee you that he has still not gone back. I heard open mic employees chasing a woman without a mask either. It sounded like mentally ill jackals. They had not shame. Ya, Pepperidge Farms remembers.
