Two men caught on video breaking a Target employee's arm after he asked the shoppers to wear a mask
A security guard was left with a broken arm following a physical confrontation with two men who refused to wear masks inside a Target in Van Nuys.
VAN NUYS, LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- A security guard was left with a broken arm following a physical confrontation with two men who refused to wear masks inside a Target in Van Nuys. The incident on May 1 started when a group of four security guards were escorting two men out of the store, according to the Los Angeles Police Department. A physical confrontation ensued when one of the two men turned out and started hitting one of the guards, which was captured on surveillance video. One of the guards suffered a broken arm. Additional details on his condition were not immediately available. The suspects, who are believed to be homeless, left the store but were arrested this weekend, according to Lt. Jim Gavin.

2. My Grandson went back to Walmart
On his summer break. He has already been cussed out by a customer trying to come in through a door that is not open. They have been warned not to argue, just press their button.
But most people have been really nice. The guy was probably a Trump supporter. |

3. This is turning into a mental health crisis
Then you throw in the Trump crazies who think the whole "wear a mask" thing is a 'liberal plot to sabotage the country' and you get stuff like this happening.

11. Seriously. All doors can be flung open, I'm staying in for a good, long while.
Online shopping and occasional trips to the grocery store.

14. Same here. Fortunately, I don't have to go out as most things I can order
online. I've been using a couple of stores here for online groceries and I've been amazed at how well that works.

18. I haven't done online groceries yet but we'll see how things go.
I stocked up and am forcing myself to cook. Like many Americans I did a lot of carryout and miss it, but at this point it's just not worth it.

8. Same here, pretty much everyone does. There are some manly men walking
around thinking tough guys don't need masks, but for the most part they seem to be the minority.

9. I watched a bunch of videos on the public freakouts subreddit
the other day and it's just depressing how entitled people are about public health safety. We've mostly been really good here in CA about this stuff, but the nutbags are wigging out.
I watched a 22 minute video of a woman pissed at Trader Joe's (!) because they wanted her to wear a mask while shopping. And, really, who in their right mind would think TJ's would be OK with that? |

It's a total WTF.

16. If tRump gets another 4 years the US is really going to be a hell hole.
There are soooo many wackos in the US these days. He's brought them all out of the woodwork and even those that used to be on the edge seem to think it's cool now to be a crackpot, and tRump loves that, they are like him.

23. And he and his cult will certainly do that along with all of the sleazebag republicans in
positions of power to enable cheating as needed.

They probably always carry backpacks.
