SEE IT: Anti-maskers in L.A. take over shopping centers, shout about being oppressed

2020 is over, but stupid isn’t.

With COVID-19 infections and deaths on the rise, a group of anti-maskers reportedly wreaked havoc in a Los Angeles shopping center Sunday, putting shoppers and essential workers at risk.

Beverly Hills Courier reporter Samuel Braslow caught the chaos on video and said the demonstration unfolded at a grocery story, then moved into a mall.

“Today, a group of anti-maskers protested at Ralph’s and the Century City shopping mall,” he tweeted. “Lots of angry confrontations with customers and a few physical altercations.”

The series of videos showed multiple mouth-breathers, some of whom behaved violently, challenging those who asked them to adhere to advice from the scientific community meant to limit the spread of the pandemic that has killed more than 350,000 Americans.

“I don’t wear masks,” one anti-masker in a red baseball cap tells a concerned store employee who offers to give him one. That employee wore a shirt reading, “I have issues.”

Some of the protesters wore baseball caps showing support for President Trump.

“You guys are all going to get sick,” the employee warns the smiling anti-maskers in that clip.

Another video shows a video of an irate anti-masker trying to mow down a man in a mask with her shopping cart. She’s wearing a T-shirt emblazoned with a vulgarity directed toward California governor Gavin Newsom, who has struggled to contain the pandemic in his state.

That woman, panting and shouting, accused the man in the mask of assaulting her as she lumbers after him with a like-minded protester in tow.

“Some guy take care of him out there, come on patriots,” the woman shouts, urging someone to hit that man. “Show him what’s up!”

An elderly woman waiting in line can be seen calmly adjusting her mask as the tensions rise around her.

“This is America, you can not tell us what do do we do not live in China,” one bare-faced woman shouted at a woman who’s wearing one.

A man with a mask on his chin accused a man who was wearing one over his mouth and nose a “mask Nazi” and declared “I’m an American citizen.”

According to the Beverly Hills Courier reporter, the maskless mob left Ralph’s and headed to the Bloomingdale’s store at Century City Mall, where their tirade continued. They were met there by police, who reportedly did not remove them as they paraded around the tri-level store chanting “No more masks” and “F---k Communist China.”

Inside the department store, the pandemic skeptics, one of whom is holding a sign reading “Covid is a Con-job” dance while singing along with the Village People song “YMCA,” which frequently plays at Trump rallies.

Bloomingdale’s employees, unable to contain the roughly 20 protesters, did try and calm a customer who confronted those folks, according to Braslow’s Twitter story. The anti-maskers continued toward the mall’s food court, where one protester reportedly told security workers that food-workers refuse to serve them were breaking the law. They reportedly ranted about China and Iran.

When a mall official approached the anti-maskers, one of them claimed to be part of an oppressed minority.

“In the ’40s, would you ask a group of Black people to leave if they were harassed?” asked that man, who was also involved in a verbal altercation at the grocery store. “Trump supporters are oppressed in America today.”

That man argued LGBT/trans people shop in the mall without being harassed, but apparently those same rights aren’t extended to Trump supporters.

“We’re the oppressed ones,” that demonstrator added.

D.C. police warn Trump loyalists not to bring guns to this week’s rallies

Twitter users who watched the anti-mask mob’s exhibition mocked the notion that that segment of the population sees itself as “victims” and noted no one wants to wear masks, but rational people do so anyway because simple measures such as that can save lives.

Supporters for President Trump who believe the election won by Democrat Joe Biden was a hoax plan to descend on Washington, D.C., in coming days to protest the certification of the Electoral College vote. Officials in the nation’s capitol have warned locals not to confront the MAGA loyalists and warned those in town for that demonstration to leave their guns at home.

Protests such as that one generally attract large groups of anti-maskers as well. The president, who was infected with COVID-19, said in August, “Maybe (masks) are great, and maybe they’re just good. Maybe they’re not so good.”
