At hawthorn elementary school in Beverly Hills, where a small group of anti-maskers has gathered with signs and flyers to protest public safety measures. They are telling passing children not to wear masks.

What do these horrid people get from this? Never mind. I'll never understand, especially when they target children. Just sick.

Parents and the school should seek a restraining order and argue that this "advice" is dangerous to children's health and mental wellbeing.

I could see a broken nose if someone was doing that to my kid. If someone had done that to me and my little friends our dads would have meted out some beat downs. Hell, our moms would have led the way! Knowing their husbands would not hit the females. I guess it’s good that times have changed, but I have not as much.

I fully support protest. And civil disobedience. But harassing elementary school kids is not protest but a form of intimidation.

And while they should not have a group of parents beat their asses, they do deserve it.
