A security guard's murder is among several confrontations over face coverings.

Protests and violence occurring on both sides as people deride others for wearing and not wearing face masks.novel coronavirusShould you wear one? Who should wear one? What type? Do they protect you or others or both? How effective are they?

"All you people just have to do is listen to the law, listen to the governor. Just stay home," Bernadette Munerlyn told mourners at a vigil on Sunday night for her son."If you don’t have to come out, then you wouldn’t need a mask unless you’re out getting groceries or necessities."was raging in China, when several people who were wearing masks in the U.S. were accosted -- highlighting fears of bias against Asian and black Americans.

And some law enforcement officials say these confrontations also highlight a tension between personal liberty and public safety, but warn that there are more appropriate avenues for free expression.In Holly, Michigan, the police chief, Jerry Narsh, recounted another headline-grabbing incident surrounding masks.

"There’s been fear and apprehension, but I think the greater issue is that everyone has felt a total loss of control in their adult lives and as they begin to be allowed to go back into open society, there’s this sense of empowerment, a sense of 'taking control of my life again,'" Narsh said.

If you don't like the store's policy then don't shop there. But if you go inside then wear the mask to respect all the people in the store. It's not all about you, it's about living in a society and getting along with others.

I think the fight was about ObamaGate and which guy would get to serve SubpoenaObama.

straitarrow10 Tempers Flare? What would the headline be if those were black men being escorted out?

Put those two in a COVID19 party if they want to die so bad.

.poor security guards couldn't handle 2 men, store should hire more security personnel to provide extra security to the guards. What the heck, 3 security guards couldn't nab 2 men🤔 USATODAY washingtonpost RT_America CNN WSJ CBSNews NBCNews latimes

See democrats this shit is getting out of hand!! Let the people live their lives with free will!!

“As security guards escorted them out for not wearing face masks” 🤷‍♂️¿

if you wanna be a contaminant thats your business dont impose on others 😷🧤

Lmao media is tryna hint that stores with a mask requirement is like the past where black people couldnt go to stores 🤣🤣

So the fighting was ok, it was the face masks that got them kicked out...

Lucky they weren’t black or we would have watched another snuff video.

Yay! Police state!

When I worked loss prevention that punk ass would have been unconscious on the floor shitting his pants. Carotid take down.

Freedom!!!Freedom!!!Freedom!!!

If its clearly stated you have to wear a mask to go into a business then its fine to kick them out for not wearing one If no sign is in place you can't kick anyone out for not wearing one

lol, if stores keep this up, summer is going to be lit.

MAGAts.

So what? Males wanting to do what they wanted Males being told what to do Males didn't like it. Males responded with violence. they are redundant in the human genome. Pity we can't so something about it.

Why are you tweeting something that happened yesterday?

People ar tired of your panic news. Please find something positive.

If you don't want to wear a mask to protect yourself when you're out and about, fine, don't wear one. But once you enter a store that's open to the public it's not just about YOU, so stop being careless and selfish and wear a mask. It's not that hard. WearAMask

iTs fOr yOuR sAfEtY

Damn the median intelligence in this country is terrifyingly low

How r people getting past the front door in mask only eatablishments? They need to better handle this at the entrances maskonly covid19 coronavirus SARSCoV2 ncov2019 2019ncov

MAGA scum as usual!

a security guard in Michigan was shot in the head last week in a similar scenario... ...but we have to risk public and private safety to protect us from a virus with a CFR on par with the flu

You dont have to wear a face mask. If you are with your own family or roomate..masks or social distancing is not required.

well hitting a cop

The trusted Fauci said to not wear a mask though?

If you’re required to wear a mask, wear one and stop acting like idiots.

This is working out well.

That’s some good social distancing there by those security guards.

Again the black people?

So people in CA can go into a store a openly steal without being stopped, but only if they wear face-mask?

KeithOlbermann oh hell put on a mask..you out there that feel your rights are not protected. are not helping protect other people's rights not to get sick... now they got a court date...

People should wear masks the police should just ask him to leave and return with a mask ? Not making an arrest Things could be settled with not force always but with words politely ?

If the story policy is to wear a mask then wear one!!!

Why mask has made difficulty for some person, even brutality

KeithOlbermann Men are so stupid.

KeithOlbermann Would they be as angry when required to wear pants? Stop being a d**k. Wear the mask.

KeithOlbermann Tempers flare? More like “criminal assault”

45s ignorance is everywhere...

Maybe stores need to invest in masks for people who don't have them or have access to them. It would be an easy way to try and diffuse this type of situation.

ALMOST EVERY STORE IS A PRIVATE ENTERPRISE, AND YOU MUST FOLLOW THEIR RULES! that's THEIR right as a business owner, asshats.

🐑

World is gone crazy!

The 'right to die' right. At least they didn't shoot the security guards.

Musky situation

Guys I went to the department store today to by a toaster over and they made me wear pants and I wouldn’t because this isn’t the America I signed up for and I know the constitution so I left with no pants and no toaster oven thanks a lot.

Poor little snowflakes that can’t bear to wear masks...🙄

That’s some great social distancing

There is nothing in the Constitution about face masks The Constitution does give us the right to life, liberty, & the pursuit of happiness Life is 1st amongst equals. Face masks will protect everyone from asymmetric people Weall deserve a chance at life

Soon the anti lock down armed protester terrorists are going to become a large problem in America

I've had bad experiences with people and face coverings

No one was storming TSA agents with rifles when we all had to learn new rules to travel.

when state release criminals and violent sexual offenders your going to have a increase in crime. It's not the mask that you don't need, It's criminals, They are getting caught and so are the sexual offenders

Some people refuse to wear a mask. I dont know where the arrogance comes from. I only know it is the law. A good law. What is the big deal about wearing one?

Right wing nuts don’t care enough about their neighbors they’re willing to spread the virus like lice through an elementary school..

New EO no more masks

Needless violence

When you infringe on people’s constitutional rights for an extended period of time, this should be expected and rightfully so. We live in this country for a reason, but it sure doesn’t feel like it lately. And I’m a Democrat btw.

If u dont want to wear a mask them keep yo ass home or u should get thrown in jail

Siri, why doesn’t the president of the United States ask people to wear life saving masks?

Only because we have no leadership at the federal level. Do not blame the mask wearers. They are doing the right thing.

Racist Headline

Blacks must wear masks.

The media is not allowed to show the reality of covid illness especially patients in ICU. Not old but younger patients that you see on sky news etc. People refusing to wear masks may then change their minds. It’s ridiculous to be so vain and selfish over this.

Only pussies don't wear masks.

A society of whimps.

Not wearing one and you better be packing if you think your getting in my face about it

There are so many stupid Americans. Ya'll wouldn't know tyranny if it crawled up and bit you in the ass. These people behaving this way are running 100% on their lizard brains, not pausing to consider the consequences of their actions. Either stupid, or malicious.

People should wear masks 😷 not only protect oneself but protect others too President and Vice President should wear masks 😷 too

Then stop forcing it

I have not and will not wear a mask. And I've been into many stores.

To mask? Or not to mask? That is the question. The architects of fear media have succeeded in driving everyone into a state of hysterical paranoia. Everyone needs to take a break from the media, exhale and just breathe. 🗽🇺🇸

The idiots aren't wearing them unless they're doing crimes.

Now I understand why the death toll in the US is so high, so many Americans are foolhardy.

Yes that's right and any body in there right mind will not go out and hurt or kill people over Wearing or not wearing a mask Covid 19 will kill people and people need to make better choices for there selfs and for others!!

Ridiculous

Masks are not a placebo in high traffic areas such as shops and should be compulsory!

I mean, is there another question beyond 'What is wrong with these people?'

The horror The horror

SenateGOP good job on unifying the country.

The world has gone mad!

Lets be honest.... they are placebo.

Of course the N GG ERS cause this

The Democrats can't debate anyone They just silence anyone with a opposite viewpoint.

Yes, Blacks don't want 2 wear them. Too G D cheap or just plain stupid

Listen to the law ! And be good little sheep . This from people who have to have a SAFE SPACE .NO ONE has the Right to tell somone what to do . All of this is has been UNCONSTITUTIONAL !

You can't mandate peoples attire because of your personal fears

Shame on ABC, Stirring shit again!

It’s really a Darwin test. If they don’t want to wear a mask and don’t mind causing their own death or the death of friends and family, let them.

It would help if our leaders would wear them when get on television everyday and preach to us. As the saying goes, 'put up, or shut up'.

We are warriors, and we will fight for our lives and our WAY of life... Can't stop. Won't stop. This is our house, this is OUR RULES. We're gonna go all night, until we see the sunlight...

If they’re required, wear one. Follow the rules, for your safety and the safety of others.

Before COVID19 in NYC it was illegal 2 cover your face with a mask Now it is illegal 2 NOT cover your face with a mask ?

If you fear for life because someone is within 6 feet with out a mask, you can kill them under stand your ground laws?

we live in a wimpy society

Security guard’s murder would have happened if he refused to let the mom in because her daughter wasn’t wearing shoes. That little girl’s family is the problem.

The media gave far too much coverage to the protestors, it was a small group, stop amplifying their inflammatory propaganda.

100/100 🦅 Joshua 8:18,20

Jesus.. why can't people be rational about this? There's no reason to exhort to violence over this.

Turning untrained clerks into law enforcement. Who could have seen this?

It’s the same old story however.
