A horde of anti-maskers paraded through the aisles of a Fort Lauderdale Target on Tuesday, shouting “TAKE YOUR MASK OFF” at random shoppers while Twisted Sister’s “We’re Not Gonna Take It” played in the background
Sigh. Photo: Joe Raedle/Getty Images Earlier this week, a news clip of an August anti-masker rally went viral. It was beyond parody, leading me to hope that maybe this hyper-vocal subgroup had fulfilled its chaos quota for the week and would grant us a moment of peace. Silly of me, frankly, because there is always more room for dangerous pandemonium in 2020.
“We are tired of shopping with masks on!” a participant yells in another video posted to YouTube. One woman, her bandanna pulled down around her neck as she films her fellow customers at close range, exhorts them to “breathe, breathe,” because “you’re Americans” and “it’s all a lie.” By “it,” she presumably means the research demonstrating that masks provide an effective means of containing the respiratory droplets that spread the coronavirus. Although she may also mean the pandemic as a whole.
For its part, Target said in a statement to HuffPost that it was “aware of the group of guests who came into the store last night” and “asked them to leave after they removed their masks and became disruptive and rude to other shoppers.” Target’s “priority remains the health and safety of our team and guests, and we communicate our mask requirement through signs in our stores, overhead announcements, and reminders from team members at the front of our stores,” the statement continued.
