Trader Joe's in North Hollywood, woman says "Democratic pigs are harrassing me to wear a mask"

[iluvtennis]

DA Rachael Rollins@DARollins·2h
Watch her reaction to being asked to wear a mask at Trader Joe’s. This level of outrage is tolerated by our society in that instance. What is the commensurate level of outrage for witnessing your people targeted, murdered & brutalized? Asking for a friend.

This pandemic is showing who people really are.

[Rorey]

1. She's obviously auditioning for a job on FoxNews NT

[TheBlackAdder]

71. My Sprouts in NJ wouldn't put up with that shit! You'd get banned for life if you act up.

[live love laugh]

96. More like a byproduct. nt

[Raven]

2. Is that an Ivanka knock off bag I see her carrying?

[leftieNanner]

31. How can you tell?

All of Princess Sparkle Pony's "designs" are stolen from someone else.

[NameAlreadyTaken]

39. The price tag is in rubles.

[leftieNanner]

43. Very Good. nt

[PA Democrat]

3. Selfish, filthy virus spreaders

We can name call as well.

[forgotmylogin]

63. The sad part is, her screaming like that could have infected the whole place.

Standard masks are better at holding virus in than they are at keeping it out.

Your mask is for everyone else's protection, and it only works if everyone participates.

[HotTeaBag]

4. One hopes she manages to find a Republican Funeral Director

when the time comes.

[spooky3]

6. LOL! nt

[Mersky]

61. .

[spooky3]

5. Note to shopper: You don't look strong or independent. You look like a toddler throwing a tantrum

because she doesn't want to take a nap.

[Elwood P Dowd]

7. Part of Trump's base.

Fat Donnie calls them beautiful people.

[demmiblue]

8. She's bananas.

[iluvtennis]

85. LOL on this picture. nt

[Tipperary]

9. California.

Again.

What is in the water out there?

[JarOCats]

21. I will assume...

...your sense of humor is as dry as the desert.

[CTyankee]

62. My daughter shops in that store since she lives in NOrth Hollywood. I can assure you that

neither she nor her neighbors are like this woman. It's a lovely community.

[Heartstrings]

70. Used to live in NoHo

And have shopped in that store as well...Hope she tries Gelson’s next, they have mandatory mask requirements as well.....

At Trader Joe’s here in Madison we have someone at the door, letting only a certain allotment of people in at a time and making sure everyone is masked.

[Rorey]

88. I wish it was like that here. NT

[Demovictory9]

98. I lived in NoHo years ago.

[Mme. Defarge]

10. Hollywood in California?

I am asking because this looks like my TJ’s in Portland, Oregon’s Hollywood district.

[demmiblue]

14. The person's profile who originally posted the video says...

that he is a Los Angeles based actor.

[Mme. Defarge]

23. Merci!

[DBoon]

79. Along with 30,000 others

Does anyone else live here?

[chowder66]

27. North Hollywood, not Hollywood.

The guy states it in the very beginning.

[Hortensis]

41. Yes, NORTH Hollywood, other side of mountains in "the Valley,"

different area, different demographics. I used to live in Hollywood and miss it a lot, actually West Hollywood, but close enough for Joe's.

Too bad. I was looking forward to seeing west siders watching this woman act out. Funny anyway, though.

[chowder66]

44. I live in Hollywood and wished I lived in West Hollywood.

It was fine living here until they built it up. It's a mess.
There's a TJ's down on Vine and Selma and I thought the video was going to be there. That's where I shop from time to time.

[Hortensis]

50. Well, we couldn't afford to return to either these days,

you're too "upscale" for us, mess or no.

We lived on Havenhurst just south of Santa Monica. I was still learning to drive when we moved there, so among my first lessons, of necessity, was how to make a left turn from a residential street straight across two lanes of suspicious and uncooperative bumper-to-bumper traffic, and then turning into a third, drivers even more determined not to let anyone in.

I even miss that! Inexcusably boorish ggression in our nearest GA city is not merging left with everyone else two blocks (true, I promise!) before the right lane ends.

[chowder66]

54. I can't afford to move anywhere within the state as I'm priced out as well.

I'm in a rent controlled building that has been converting apartments into short term rentals. I'm a street over from Beachwood above Franklin Ave. There's so much more crime here now.

I love that area of West Hollywood. My best friend is over in that neighborhood on Curson. And yes, learning to drive in L.A. is tricky but I think it makes you a better driver overall due to the intensity of traffic and idiotic maneuvers.

When I travel back home to Kansas City MO I always get a rush when driving and have to ease of the gas. It's amazing how nice it is to drive in smaller cities but also maddening that people drive like crap not realizing just how good they have it...traffic-wise. People being people, I guess.

I've thought about moving out of here one day but can't figure out where I would want to go.

[Hortensis]

82. Oh, sorry to hear about the conversion. Speculating

about where to go can be a lot of fun, though, and doesn't cost anything.

[chowder66]

84. I play around on Trulia but I think when it's safe to travel again

I'll be exploring some places. : )

[Hortensis]

93. Sounds great. And we have other sleuthing tools we

didn't have before, online sources, like City-Data, forums for our enthusiasms, microdemographic data, etc. I can know a great deal about plant nurseries and types of garden/environmental clubs, whether a town offers free concerts every summer to everyone, and how active the local Democratic headquarters is without even leaving home. Used to be new and used bookstores was a valuable clue, but not nearly so much now.

A pair of sisters from Turkey I should have visited but never did told me that in Turkey the saying is that one shops first for one's neighbors.

Stay safe.

[Beaverhausen]

35. Technically, North Hollywood

they just reopened yesterday. Guess this shopper wasn’t aware of the rules.

My Trader Joe’s out in the west valley is extremely careful about cleaning, masks etc.

[Upthevibe]

90. Beaverhausen....I'm in Redondo...

There's NO WAY she wasn't aware of the rules....IMHO, she was looking for trouble.

[tinrobot]

60. My understanding was that it was North Hollywood

It's in the Valley.

Makes more sense.

[dalton99a]

11. Idiotic

[Nevilledog]

20. When you meme yourself.

Bananas!

[Botany]

73. She seems like such a nice person too.

12. Geez, woman, did you forget your anti-insanity meds? Does CA still have 5150?

Watching the screaming, hysterical, over-the top outrage at being asked to wear masks tells me that something else is going on. These maroons have to KNOW that they are being filmed. It is as if they are mugging for the cameras, like they are in some contest where there are prizes for the most violent, insane, outrageous behaviour. A reichwing version of Pokemon go or something.

[Bluepinky]

13. Sorry lady, no such thing as a Democratic pig.

The swine are all in your party, the GOP (Gaggle of Putridity).

[leftieNanner]

33. Actually,

I'd be happy to include pigs in the Democratic Party! They're smart, lovable, snuggly, and cute. My friend has two - Beatrice and Clarissa. They are adorable and love tummy rubs.

[Bluepinky]

95. Yes, I love animals and pigs. Pigs can be Democrats any day.

I just didn’t care for that woman’s tone of voice.

[demmiblue]

15. More video:

[volstork]

18. "Federal law"

Really? Doubtful.

[NutmegYankee]

99. It's a failed attempt to invoke the ADA.

Ignorant trash like Karen here believe the ADA can be invoked to exempt them from mask laws. Except that law has exceptions and allows a business to accommodate this problem by a reasonable means like curbside pickup. It by no means allows them to go into a store and infect others.

[chowder66]

28. She sure doesn't seem to have a breathing problem with all that yelling!

[smirkymonkey]

37. Her voice is like nails across a chalkboard.

It's painful to listen to her.

[chowder66]

40. lol!!!

[forgotmylogin]

64. Her actual problem is entitlement. n/t

[Polly Hennessey]

38. For someone with a breathing? problem

there is lots of hot air spewing out of her mouth.

[MagickMuffin]

49. The very last video before she departs she winks with a smirk at the camera

Or that's what I saw.

[Rorey]

89. Breathing problem?

She certainly seems to be able to take in and spew out plenty of air.

[Me.]

16. It's The Law!

[2naSalit]

17. She looks a lot like that evil

Y&**^*!@!## at the Starbucks in San Diego. Poor little self aggrandizing waste of air.

[irisblue]

42. You noticed the similarly too?

[not_the_one]

19. Democrats should follow her around going...

OINK, OINK, OINK, OINK, OINK, ...

edit to add, from behind a mask...

[2naSalit]

45. Yup...

I like that idea!

[Kid Berwyn]

22. She's one of those people...

...who might look look better in a mask.

[mitch96]

24. If she does not like the mask......

She will REALLY hate the respirator.......
m

[JarOCats]

25. I've been telling anyone who will listen: Telling the public that masks...

...protect others from their cooties is absolutely the wrong way to go about it with RWNJS. They don't care about anyone who isn't them, and I expect they are getting even more militant because they really do see, uh, "barebacking" as just another way to own the libs.

[forgotmylogin]

67. Yeah, to put it crudely...

It's the one dude at the orgy who won't wear a condom that puts everyone at risk.

[greenjar_01]

26. "My doctor told me that I have a breathing problem and I'm not allowed to wear a mask"

This is what they've all been told to say by their wacky ass Q-Anon and hate radio people. Honestly, if it's true, you state it calmly and provide documentation; you don't slam carts, act a fool, and yell at everyone.

[wryter2000]

68. If it's true

You stay home. Why would you want to be around people who can give you something that will kill you?

[forgotmylogin]

72. If she's got a problem, she should not be out in public yelling at people.

If her "breathing problem" puts her at risk, she shouldn't be in public. Especially without a mask. It's not a blanket license to be accepted from safety rules.

Most stores will deliver for just this purpose.

"Oh, I have a breathing problem, so my doctor won't let me wear scuba gear--" THEN STAY OUT OF THE WATER!

[Bradshaw3]

29. I think there are hundreds if not thousands of these incidents across the country

I have a friend in the small city we live in who had to put up with a five-minute rant outside her little shop because they require facemasks. The idiot stood outside her door in an inside mall screaming about what all these morons scream about - what they hear on Faux and other propaganda outlets or hear from the orange anus. She said she just sat there ignoring him and near the end, a couple came in who did not have masks but agreed to wear the disposable ones they give out. That couple then spent about $500.

We see the videos like this one but my feeling is this insane behavior is much more widespread than that coming from a few videos. These people are in a cult and feel free to act anyway they want because they have been given false info as truth and given permission from their cult leaders to act on it.

36. As someone said in the comments: crisis actor.

Welcome to DU.

[Upthevibe]

91. demmiblue...Thank you for this post....

I don't understand WTF she was opening to gain It just makes "that side" look bad - to rational people (except the "fringe" of the group aka the "cult members ). I just don't get it.....

[Ferrets are Cool]

32. It's private property. Ask her to leave and if she wont, call the police.

Am I wrong?

[2naSalit]

47. That is correct.

[gulliver]

34. Except for calling her Karen, this video would help our cause.

[Voltaire2]

51. Tone trolling is idiotic.

[Mariana]

52. Lighten up, Francis. nt.

[cayugafalls]

77. giggle...

[lunasun]

57. Looks like the store workers were saying Bye Felicia to her at the exit door

[iluvtennis]

86. LOL......

[marie999]

46. I like that we were told she was wearing a mask outside.

This shows she just wanted her 15 seconds of fame.

[MagickMuffin]

48. Moving to post #15

That's where it should be

[Bongo Prophet]

75. I saw that as well, right after the guy says "We got it!"

She relaxes her stance, "breaking character", as if he had yelled "Cut!".
The last frame even looks like a wink.

[jalan48]

53. Well, isn't she special.

[lunasun]

55. On the plus side this hysterical moron left with out spitting or coughing on anyone

See too many of those icky videos

Also no shirt no shoes no service - when we will see these women go there with that challenge to their freedom ?👀

[NBachers]

56. I give her credit for screaming Democratic, instead of Democrat.

You flunked your screen test.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

58. Quite a sense of entitlement on her part

The store sets the rules. If she doesn't like it she shouldn't shop there. She should vote with her purse.

[Traildogbob]

59. Damn!

Is she still of breeding age? Abortion now, abortion forever. End that gene pool.

[wryter2000]

65. Good they kicked her out

Someone needs to tell these idiots that, if they have a respiratory problem serious enough to keep them from wearing masks, they need to stay at home for their own safety.

[edhopper]

66. For those that wonder

THAT is a Karen.

[marieo1]

69. Spoiled Brat

What a spoiled BRAT!! I wonder why she didn't flop down on the floor and kick her arms and legs and scream!!! So it might inconvenience her a little bit to do something to protect other people from getting covid 19 and it could also prevent her from getting it!!

[mnhtnbb]

74. At least she was appropriately attired

in her bebe t-shirt.

Baby is right. Big baby. Someone should have asked her if she needed her binkie and blankie or her diapers changed for a nap.

[Grammy23]

76. I guess what is most frightening about this type of event

is that these people walk among us. In some states they could be armed. Their temper seems to go from zero to 85 in a nano second. I get that they have been influenced by a variety of online sources that have poisoned their minds and apparently erased all common sense from their brain matter. Many really do believe the Covid -19 pandemic is a hoax. Meanwhile, the pandemic carries on regardless of what they believe. We need help from mental health experts to deal with these folks who are causing problems everywhere. Sooner or later, I fully expect it to escalate to violence. No one that I’ve heard has said one word about what we do with those who refuse to believe the pandemic is real and who could make a bad situation even worse.

[keithbvadu2]

78. Militia folks have no problems with masks.

Militia folks have no problems with masks.

They are proud to look like ISIS with their big guns.

[betsuni]

80. All right, Mr. DeMille, I'm ready for my close-up.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

81. I wonder what these actors are getting paid. Not scale, I'm sure.

This has all the signs of a planned, perhaps rehearsed act and I would bet she's pulled this in multiple stores. They'll capture these posted videos and run them on hard right-wing sites for bragging rights.

KY.......

[Aviation Pro]

83. Fuck you, Trumpette

Go play on your yacht with the rest of your fucking tribe.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

87. I gotta show her a bit of respect: She called them "Democratic pigs", ...

... and not "Democrat pigs".

Maybe she needs to take Rush Limbaugh's advanced class.

[Upthevibe]

92. Well, after reading all of the responses to this post

it seems like this was staged. I live in Redondo Beach, CA (which is basically part of L.A. because we all blend in together - I'm just off of the 405). Anyway, as I posted elsewhere on this thread there is NO WAY WHAT-SO-EVER she didn't know it's required in these parts to wear an effing mask! I was at my Trader's earlier in the week and there was a line (that moved quickly), a young man at the door with disinfectant, and every single person in the store had on their masks.

The question I have is why? Does this behavior somehow empower their "cause?" I guess to other "fringe" and "cult-like" dt supporters it does but for reasonable people it makes "that side" look ridiculous. In fact, it may even make people on the fence (even though I don't know if there are still fence-sitters during this unbelievable time) be more inclined to rethink their positions...I SERIOUSLY don't understand....

[lostnfound]

97. Maybe it's a gig job? Or something the Q owners are suggesting to the suggestibles?

All part of stirring up division, and weak minds are co-opted into it, or paid to do it?

[rockfordfile]

94. These people are un-American. Why would they want to get other Americans sick?
