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.
Pass up too many hills to die on and you’re going to fall into the ocean.
We have cowered for far too long. Enough excuses.
A business that opens its doors to the general public has rules that don't apply to a private business.
And the cops enforcing a ficticious health code is outright pfascist hypocrisy because the police themselves supported thousands of Democrat rioters and funeral attendees for St. George Floyd of Fentanyl. A cop had zero authority to enforce a mask rule when they were also violating them. The cop's job was to arrest the health department mask rule issuer for fraud.
Is a grocery store private property; no it essential activity and should not be treated as private property.
I walked out of a few stores, rather than mask.
Had one weak moment that still bothers me.
Another time, brought a mask to a doctor’s office. I had waited months for an appointment with a specialist’s specialist. The receptionist told me my mask was not good enough and pointed to one of those cheap blue Chinese masks. She was astounded that I wasn’t going to comply.
She summoned the office manager, who said it was their mask or or we’d have to reschedule. I walked out. The facts they never followed up and my original specialist didn’t, either, tell me my health wasn’t important.
