Anti-Mask Protesters Try To Force Way Into Stores At Century City Mall
LAPPL News Watch
January 6, 2020
Shoppers and employees at the Century City mall on Sunday became the
target of anti-mask protesters who forcefully spread their message to
anyone wearing a mask -- which was everyone at the mall because masks
are required.
"We see the protesters with the megaphones saying no masks. Take off the masks. Open back up L.A. All lives matter," said Johnathan Cabrera who works at Century City Mall. Cabrera says he was shocked by the group of about 30 and says he's rarely had issues with anti-maskers before.
Samuel Braslow, a reporter with the Beverly Hills Courier, covered the protest and says this group has been targeting Los Angeles stores the past few weeks, including chain super markets and pharmacies.
The LAPD was called to the mall, but some eyewitnesses tell us they were surprised the protesters weren't asked to leave or cited. The LAPD tells ABC7 their role on Sunday at the mall was just like any other protest: facilitate first amendment rights, keep the peace, and not intervene unless necessary.

A private business has the right to make restrictions on it's customers, including telling them to piss off completely. If they want to require customers to wear masks FOR WHATEVER REASON they are free to do so. If you don't like it you should take your business elsewhere. You may or may not believe that the plague is a hoax or that masks don't work. I don't give a shit. If you don't like the rules, go someplace else.
