They would probably be glad to arrest a family with an unmasked toddler in any movie theater in Californicator land. Leave it to California to make Ugly Bull Dyke Karens into hair cops!

A video recorded in Jacksonville, N.C. appears to show the manager of an AMC movie theater refusing to allow a reportedly disabled child from entering the theater without a mask, and calling the police to escort her distraught family from the scene.
The child, who was in a stroller at the time of the incident, is reportedly non-verbal and has a condition that precludes her use of a mask or face shield. The child's family members were all wearing masks.
Police officers were ultimately asked to escort the upset family from the theater.
The Jacksonville, S.C. Police Department and the AMC Theatres chain did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Public health policy surrounding the use of masks on toddlers and children has become a subject of controversy over the last several months. Throughout the pandemic, there have been countless stories of families being thrown off flights or having flights canceled altogether because a baby was failing to don the required facial covering.
Children are not immune the novel virus, but they have been shown to catch and spread it at a significantly lower rate than adults do.

That’s right, I had a short couch I’d throw in the bed of my \American made pick em up truck and go to the Van Nuys drive in picture show.
Cops got nothing else better to do.
“Who these days are still going to indoor theaters?”
That is an excellent question.
Based on this story, I’m guessing it’s families with small children who want to see the new child-friendly movie. Now that drive-ins are a thing of the past...
“Drive in theaters will make a come back. That way my wife and I can make out in the back of our truck.”
1. As for your first sentence, I hope so!
2. And as for your second, I wish I were married to you! :) My husband has zero interest anymore. :(
So much for honoring the supposed exemptions.
Jacksonville, NC in Onslow County voted...
63.9%...Trump
33.7%...Biden
Burn it to the ground
The "novel" virus...you know...as opposed to all those other previous coronavirus. Thanks for specifying that, journolista.
This mask nonsense has to end. You want to wear a face diaper? Fine! I choose not to wear one.
“So much for honoring the supposed exemptions.”
I’m sure Reich Führer Roy Cooper (NC’s democrat Guvner) left exemptions in his latest political Lockdown Decree, but there aren’t as many as before.
Cops got nothing else easier to do.
If the purpose of the virtue signal is to prevent the spread of Covid, it would seem logical to not admit the child. Being disabled does not mean you can’t get Covid.
It’s important to note illogic in the laws
“escort”. NO. Forcibly remove. If they had resisted, there would have been the use of force.
This means the politicians are using the armed power of the police to enforce the mask mandate. What comes after this?
Tough call, not sure if AMC was obeying a local/state ordinance, or was enforcing their own company policy - none-the-less, as a private business they can and should be able to make and enforce their own rules for entry...and people can either give them business or not give them business based on what they think about those rules.
They are not going to win or lose my business, as I already haven’t been to a movie theatre in years.

>>Fine! I choose not to wear one.
Thats fine, and private businesses can refuse to allow you entry based on your refusal of those rules - free choice works both ways, as it should.
I really never thought Americans would allow ourselves to come to this. Never thought we’d allow ourselves to come anywhere close to this. We’ve acquiesced in giving the politicians nearly total control over our lives and they will never give that control back to us.
Take out the enforcers and the snitches.
Not as long as a huge percentage of the population is stupid enough to believe the COVID hysteria, and weak enough to accept it. And it is very, very evident, that most of the population is both stupid and weak, not to mention ignorant, cowardly, and selfish.
