Concord city officials said they're aware of a planned protest over North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper's modified stay-at-home order to control the spread of COVID-19.

CONCORD, N.C. — Officials in Concord, North Carolina, issued a statement saying they were aware of a "Trash the Mask" event being organized by anti-mask advocates at Concord Mills Mall Friday.

The event, which was organized on Facebook by Amy Moore Benjamin and a group called Trump Event Images, is in response to Gov. Roy Cooper's new COVID-19 restrictions, including the statewide nightly curfew that begins Friday. North Carolina is experiencing a major surge in COVID-19 cases that health officials project will only get worse as more infections linked to Thanksgiving are reported.

...

Organizers asked supporters to show up at Concord Mills and meet in the food court Friday evening before going shopping, all while not wearing face masks.

The event was originally scheduled for Friday night at 6:30 p.m. but was apparently moved to an earlier time, presumably because of the media attention.

In November, Cooper issued an executive order that tightened North Carolina's mandate on face masks

...

The event gained a lot of attention on social media since Thursday. As of 11 a.m. Friday, more than 50 people RSVP'd on Facebook and over 200 have shown interest in the event.

Shouldn’t this be in General Chat like the PA restaurant story?

Apparently only NC activism actions are considered worthy of “news” these days,.

PA activism gets buried in General Chat without explanation.

‘This is how it will start. Good on them.’

yes; but we are awash in a sea of ninnies, who are keen on snitching on their neighbors...we’ll never get out from under them...

Never mind...my bad. Didn’t realize you’d been gigged by the moderator in your thread. Doesn’t make sense, but I’m just a guest.

And you’re not a Karen.
