  1. She could have easily just walked out of wherever she was but no we must all cause scenes. Everyone from every political faction. They are all jokes 😂

    1. Yeah, that’s what standing up for yourself means. It means you don’t walk out and you challenge someone else when you believe they are in the wrong.

    1. @Shiddy McGee meh, not much but I have to admit it’s *a little* entertaining following the logic of idiots.

    2. @Chantelle Hutchison she was leaving after she was already being arrested thats not leaving…. at that point its evading arrest..

    3. Mandates made no difference, businesses were doing this LONG before mandates were even in place, citing private property rights trump the rights of all American free Citizens rights.

    4. @Misfitsickboy Yes, how can you claim private property overrides The Consititution of the USA, but then call public taxpayer police to enforce it?

  2. Greg Abbott the Texas Governor signed executive orders to abolish the mask mandates, this woman should sue

    1. @Bob Dole Are they a health institution? Are they qualified to make health decisions and prescribe medical devices to an American Citizen, and without any license to do so?
      Is it ethical of them to charge a customer with trespass (which requires unlawful entry, and INTENT to do harm) or anything else that is not directly related to their store policy?

    2. @Xong Lo The business’ mask policy. It is not enforceable in any way, as you have noticed. This is why they abuse trespass law and even call taxpayer paid “non private property” police to coerce their customers.
      it’s an abuse of police force AND the law imo and these businesses need to be sued.

    3. @Mark Javier yes, but that will cause some stupid customers get them the right of way by law n refuse to wear mask.

    1. @Beto Ortis Looks like someone needs to study a dictionary & a history book. You are outing yourself as a dolt. Keep going…
      I have my popcorn!!!

    2. @Jonathan Edward
      Oh the popcorn….
      Maybe you should use your brain….
      instead of thinking you’re smarter than everyone else…
      Which you’re clearly not

    3. @Kyd Wykkyd its not law in texas. In fact cases have gone down since they got rid of their masks there and in florida.

    4. @Lm T I honestly don’t even care anymore. I got more important things to do then argue over this stupid lady. Anyways anything said from here I won’t be replying to cause I can’t even bother to care.

    1. They do, but some would rather save money and some corrupt cops turn their body cams off in order to get away with bad behaviour.

    2. More importantly we as a society need to see the value and force the police to wear them. I don’t get to chose what PPE I get to wear at work.

    3. @justsomeguy More importantly we as a Society should realize we are in a Surveillance State and seriously consider permanent ways of carrying a camera at all times on our person and recording every minute to be something we don’t even think about, for our own protection.

    1. @Amelia Bedelia no. It’s more about what it considers the truth. They get it wrong quite a bit.

    2. Yes, if you post anything directly, a url or quote, and it has been deemed ‘misinformation’ it will be deleted.
      Repeat offenses will get your account banned.

    3. @Amelia Bedelia Correction, it has a policy against sharing what it DEEMS to be misinformation. Big difference.

  3. She was arrested for a disorderly persons violation not for the mask order. I dont think there’s any cops going out of their way to arrest ppl for masks.

    1. @justsomeguy Except you have to be given a trespassing warning in print. Not sure they gave her one. She’s getting cash no matter what if she wants to

    2. @justsomeguy Except that is an abuse of trespass law, no matter how you look at it.
      A business doesn’t get their way trying to compel a medical device onto a free and healthy Citizen, so makes a fraudulent claim of trespass or other, in order to compel them. Its abuse, unethical immoral no matter what you say.

    3. @toronto daddy Lawyers need to get on this. It’s an abuse of private property rights vs public rights.
      Claiming to be ‘private property’ on one hand, but then using public paid police to do their bidding on false premise that an actual crime was committed .

    1. other peoples mothers and grandmothers are being responsible and wearing masks where required. Yours wasn’t…lock her up.

    2. @steve ofsteve She wasn’t arrested for not wearing a Mask.
      You need to understand that is impossible.
      What the business did was committ a fraudulent claim of trespass and ‘disturbing the peace’ instead, because their Mask policy is actually unenforceable.
      For you to celebrate this abuse of police power is disgusting.

    3. If it was my mother or grandmother I’d be angry at them for making the family look like a collection of idiots

    1. They do. Although I wasn’t arrested, I was certainly ‘encouraged’ by the RCMP who were already on site, doing the bidding of Walmart, to leave the property if I didn’t want to don The Mask.
      The customers around jeered, cheered and clapped, thinking I was arrested over it. Sickens and angers me to the stomach to even recall the event, which changed my view on life and my society forever.

    1. Only dumb sheeps will beg for their own enslavement and slaughter, and they don’t even realize it. 🐑😷

  4. Well now in Texas they won’t be doing that anymore and willing to bet her charges get chucked out

    1. Businesses were already doing this LONG before any mandate, and will continue to do so, on the claims that their ‘private property’ rights trump the Constitution and Charter of Rights (Canada), and that they can call the taxpayer police to enforce their mask policy on private property (doesnt make much sense huh).
      Even then, it’s not illegal to not wear a Mask, and businesses know this, so they FRAUDULENTLY abuse trespass law to do it. THIS should be illegal.
