Brawls and shouting matches erupted over the last year from Canada to California and all the way to Florida.

Walmart stores notoriously became the epicenter for fights and verbal showdowns from coast-to-coast over the mask mandate. In Florida last July , two people got into a fight at a Florida City store, wreaking havoc into the aisles of the South Florida location. A video shows four people yelling at a man for not wearing a mask, and hit its peak when one masked man grabbed a tool and charged toward the other.

A month before that, and about four hours north in Orlando, an older man fought his way into a Walmart after he was asked to wear a mask to enter. Although a store employee tried to get the man to leave until he got a mask, the man shoved the employee aside and went on about himself inside the store.

In November last year at a store in Vancouver, British Columbia in western Canada, a Walmart employee asked a 30-year-old man to wear a mask, and the man is later seen punching the employee. That man was later arrested at his home. In Alaska last August, a man became irate and had a meltdown after he was made to leave the store since he wasn't wearing a mask.

States, retail giants lift mask mandatesThe moves came a day after the CDC said it is safe for fully vaccinated people to go maskless in any type of group gathering. How do they know who is fully vaccinated? and those who aren't vaccinated can be trusted to wear one? Aagghhhh

NPR Cookie Consent and ChoicesJust another reason to avoid wallyworld. Thank you Walmart for saving my $$$. I would make sure to avoid going to any Walmart stores in my area since you guys will allow COVIDIOTS to take their MasksOff. Shame on CDC for allowing antivaxxers to spread more covid19, while vaccination rate remains to be low.

Here’s the science that convinced the CDC to lift mask mandatesThe CDC said the decision to lift mask mandates was driven by scientific evidence that the vaccines play a major role in curbing infections and transmission. Science? It's common fucking sense I vehemently disagree. If we dont wear masks I think there will be a blow up again

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo Won’t Lift Mask Mandates For StateConfusion continues as to whether a mask is required for certain activities. Today, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo added to that, saying that he’s not ready to adopt federal calls for limits on m… Because he knows better than the CDC? I keep reading “won’t” from places like this and the NY Post. It just says they’re “reviewing”, like Macy’s and Walgreens have said. It’s not a definite no. Until he actually says that, then report what is said in the statement. Shitty journalism Thank god!
