I'm sure most of ya'll have seen the video going around social media. She was tazed also for resisting the officer, who wasnt wearing a mask at the time either. I knew it would be just a matter of time. I personally do not wear a mask into MOST places.... however, if I'm asked to leave because of it, I do... peacefully....I understand they have this mandate in place and if I chose not to follow,  I know I can be asked to put one on or leave. So far, I've only been asked to put 1 on one time and I just stepped out of the restaurant. We go to a bunch of baseball games for both my boys and also their football games which are NOT affiliated with the schools. There are no posted signs that face coverings are required .. I'd say 95% of the people attending do not wear a mask. There are those that do and it works... there's no issue, no drama and everyone minds their own business about it. Some chose to socially distance while others gather together in big groups and watch.. some coaches wear masks, others dont, some umpires do, where others do not. I've even seen some players wearing one while playing... is it a problem for anyone??? Nope... does it cause a bunch of drama if they aren't wearing one??? Nope.... This is the way it should be everywhere... 

CDC admitted the other day I believe that how they said the virus spreads was not true from the beginning. I don't know the details but that was the gist of it. 

There's also a video from Latah County, Idaho of church members standing outside singing hymns but some not wearing masks.  Three were being handcuffed and taken away.  One of the guys was on FOX this morning.  He said their county has had 392 cases and no deaths.  They felt like being outdoors was plenty of precaution.  I agree with him.  He also said the cops hated having to do this but again.... likely a Dem mayor.

On the video she was sitting in the bleachers with her small kids away from everyone else... so social distancing.... with her family. OUTSIDE. Apparently the school wasnt the one who called the law, a nosey Karen did from the reports I've read. Yes, she resisted the officer and did not leave or put on a mask when directed to.... I get all that but I truly think this was taken way too far. I do not know if she was actually arrested or charged with anything at this point. All I could think about was her poor kids watching all this take place. It seems extremely unjust and quite honestly scares the snot outta me its headed that way. 

BUT...if we are to continue to argue with other factions that they would not get shot or suffer at the hands of police, if they just "comply" and do as they are asked, then sort out the rest later:  that needs to go both directions.   Had she put on a mask if it was the edict, ever how wrong that may be, to have mask on to be able to attend the game, then the thing to do was grudgingly say OK, and put on the mask, at least while authorities were looking.

My opinion.

Joe Biden is doing a lovely job of trying to keep the country muzzled by thinking he's setting an example.  To me he's either very frightened of catching the virus and dying or just forewarning us that if he wins the election we better all plan on stern mandates for masking up.  

I see people wearing masks that are so dirty and crumpled it's disgusting.  Or wearing them on their chin and then pulling them up.  Around here most businesses request that you wear them.  It's hard to breathe.

If your city, county, state, whatever requires that you wear a mask then WEAR A STUPID MASK. It's really not that big of a deal. Am I going to call and tattle when other people are not? No. Will I wear mine when I go to the grocery store and mind my own business? Yes. Do they work? I dont know, but the way I look at it is that worst case I look silly wearing a mask and have to deal with remembering to put it on, and it is uncomfortable. Best case? It helps SOME and we can get all this overwith soon! 

My opinion.. and you know what they say about opinions... Everyone has one and that's ok!

I know the schools around here have made it very clear thru social media and flyers sent home that in order to attend the games you will be required to wear a face covering while on the premises. They only sell so many tickets as well to adhere to the guidelines,  whatever they are now.... so yes, she knew she was supposed to wear one while there. No matter where you stand on the mask issue, if its required and you do not wear one because you dont believe in wearing one, you must be prepared to deal with being asked to put one on or be asked to leave. Unfortunately.... it's just the beginning. I do not chose to wear one and again if I'm asked to put one on or leave, I leave quietly. It's just sad to me that this is what's going on in our country. And for the record, I think masks are a waste of time and shouldn't be forced upon anyone. 

Yep you are absolutely entitled to your opinion and your choice to wear one and that's how it should be, and same goes for everyone who chooses not to wear one. Quite honestly if you're worried about catching the rona out in public, wear a mask and stay away from crowds...I do not rely on other people to keep me safe and healthy... I take that into my own hands. 

See thats the thing though, coronavirus is permanent. It's never going away. There is no over with soon, we now have 2 options. Go back to normal life and hope for the best, or how we live now is permanent. There is no in between. I prefer not to wear a mask and I do not socially distance unless I'm standing in a checkout line. We still go to barrel races with 300-400 people, we go to cookouts/parties on other weekends with big groups of friends, and still maintain normal life. None of us have gotten covid yet. My health is no one elses responsibility, I assume the same for others. You don't want to get it, stay isolated. When my card gets called, it doesn't matter if corona virus exists or not, it's called. We're all predetermined to die at a specific time and date from whatever God has chosen, I'd prefer not to live the rest of my life limited by a virus with a +99% survial rate

get over what?

It's the flu

My question was she in violation of Ohio Governors mask mandate?

The hysteria and political divide surrounding it perpetuated by the media is what I meant by "get this overwith soon", not Covid-19. 

Schultheiss said the venue hosted 300 fans for the game Wednesday, with only two individuals, the alleged mother and grandmother in the videos, who were “having issues with compliance.”

“This rule has been in effect since we were told we could play,” said Schultheiss. “Everyone that came through ticketing tonight was reminded, we had regular announcements over the PA reminding you that mouths and noses needed to be covered and we had signs at the bathrooms.”

Both Venderlic and Hampton asked that all fans remember what the rules are, with the focus and goal to allow students to play.

“The governor and the (Ohio) health department have made it very clear that masks are required indoor and outdoor at sports facilities. They’re just part of the expectation,” said Venderlic. “They’re one of the requirements the OHSAA (Ohio High School Athletic Association) brought down and said that if we’re going to be able to have fall sports we’re going to have to social distance and we’re going to have to wear masks.”

I would suggest you watch a show on HULU called the " Handmaids Tale" and get back to us.. Just the first epidose of the first season will do. No need to watch the whole thing. 

One of the baseball parks we frequent doesn't have permanent bathrooms  yet so there are about 30 space shuttles available (porta potty) they are absolutely disgusting and downright violent at times.... the way i see if i haven't gotten sick yet ... I probably have a pretty darn good immune system. They do have a little hand sani wash station that's always conveniently empty. I bring my own anyway, always have always will. 

Science < TV Show 

Got it, thanks! 

We cant pick and choose who should obey the law.Respect law and order,no issues,dis obey,get what you got coming.

No she was not in inviolation of our jackass Governor's mandate The guy lies everyday. The woman was more than six feet away from any one thats not a family member wich is what is stated in the mandate. She also told the cop who did not have his mask on that she had a medical issue why she could not wear one which also allowed in the mandate. He did not care. There is a law suit coming and I am sure she is going to get a big check.

Good. I hope she comes out way ahead and doesn't slink away quietly. But I'm afraid they may still be able to get her with resisting an officer. All in all, it should have been handled differently on both sides. 

I was reading thru some reviews online at Tractor supply on some chicken feed and came across a comment... the woman wrote "This isnt a review on the feed, but on the store itself, while I was sitting in my vehicle waiting for an employee to bring me my curbside order I noticed 3 people that walked into the store WITHOUT masks on, so I called the store and asked to speak to the manager, I told him that 3 people had walked into your store not wearing masks and that it needed to be handled before I made the call to the police myself, the manager rudely told me that if I wasnt inside his store then I shouldn't worry about it and he wasnt going to infringe of peoples rights and hung up". Lol!!!   Some of the replies to her "review" was priceless...  now that is a "Karen"  I went to my tsc today and they had taken down the mask sign and just have a social distancing sign up... as per usual I walked in without one and had zero issue as did several folk . There was just as many that did have them on, and guess what... we all got along, got our items and went on our happy little ways. 

Our grocery store has a sign on the door that says you must wear a mask inside the store and yet the other day a couple of folks ahead of me were maskless.  I think they may have been just daring someone to say something.  No one did.  The employees all look so miserable having to wear those things for 8 hours. 

I don't think Walmart will allow you in the door without a mask.  They have cattle chutes and a ramrod  closely watching the only entrance you're allow to use.

Furthermore it's not a law, it's a mandate.  Next it will be,  just give them your **** gun.....it's all for the greater good right?  I agree this is mostly about compliance,  since you can peacefully (I use that word with reservations)protest but not gather for church, a funeral.etc.  RBG is having a funeral.....hum. I've just had enough of all this BS!

IDK what I think about the video honestly.  First off, I think its pointless to wear a mask IF you are outside AND you CAN social distance yourself.  BUT, I also comply with and follow local guidelines so if I went to an event that clearly said, if you are in the stands watching you need to wear a mask.. I would have worn one, or left when asked to leave.  But thats just me. 

This woman was not thumbing her nose at the State mask mandate but the SCHOOL'S RULES. School rules are put in place so that the students are "allowed" to HAVE games and activities. IF a parent does not want to follow those rules, then he/she should stay home. The only people that this type of behavior will affect, in the long run, will be the STUDENTS ..... when schools shut down activities.

This woman was asked nicely several times to put on a mask or leave. It was HER decision to protest and throw a fit ..... it was HER decision to get her a$$ drug out of the stadium. IF she had a legitimate asthma problem, then she should have been able to produce her inhaler, etc. And the way she yelled, screamed and fought, there is no way that she is an asthma sufferer.

Additionally, the same ones here (on BHW) who post that no one would get shot by police IF they only followed instructions are NOW making excuses for this idiot who FAILED to FOLLOW instructions...... hypocrisy?

i  think that she should have followed rules or left but she created a scene she did exactly what  she should not she scream yelled resisted arrest  wrong she was wrong

I went Tuesday to TSC to pick up horse feed and didn't think about a mask til I got there.  So I called and was told masks were mandatory but they certainly weren't going to ask me to leave if I didn't have one!   Most of the older people that came in had masks but probably 99 % of younger folks didn't wear one.  I went in "naked".  (If one is required I will either wear it or not go in that place.)  Only 1 employee had a mask on and she took it off when she started helping me with my order.   I truly appreciate the ability to make my own choice.  Pray God that continues

Far as I can tell nobody likes wearing a mask.  But in light of the fact that this countrys response to this pandemic has reaped results worse than a third world country, I will suck it up and wear one of there is any chance it will help to save lifes.  I find it interesting when people who claim to be all about the sanctity of life can't be minimally inconvenienced to try to save a few.  

This is my two cents. 

If a store,business, event is requiring a mask  than it's no different than a store that requires shoes and a shirt. Don't get the ass when the management tells you to either comply or leave. But I've lived in more than one country thAt it's considered bad form to not wear one when your sick or during cold season.  But I'm also the person that thinks that if your kid is sick you keep them home and it's not the schools job to babysit your dismounts and when your sick you stay home so you don't infect everyone around you. 

There are many Karen's or Boomers as my daughter calls them that need to  I ran into one yesterday that decided to go after me because I was parked in a handicap spot. She informed me that I was illegally parked and only my disabled veteran husband was allowed to park in the handicap space. As she was yelling and spitting I showed her my VA card and she than proceeded to tell me that I was a VA bum and how I needed to get off my ass and get a real job. My point is that the Karen's are on both sides of political aisle(she had multiple Trump stickers) 

 Sorry that someone went off on you. Was your husband with you at this time?

No it was my daughter and I. We were getting milk at the nearby Walmart. 

Awwww OK.. 

If we were dealing with Ebola or something of that nature, I would gratefully wear a mask, or do whatever it took to save my life and others. Covid is not Ebola, not even close...it has a extremely high rate of survival. There isn't enough deaths and hospitalizations to make news headlines anymore, so they focus on cases, on positive tests, of which many are incorrect. The media is stirring the pot....masks are a political tool, keeping people fearful for whatever nefarious reason. CDC contacted a friend here in SD, who tested positive, they are not sick, they were told, that in SD at least 80% of people who tested positive, experienced no sickness issues, the remaining 20% mostly experienced flu like symptoms, with a very small percentage of the 20% needing medical care. The mask nazi's are way out of hand....if you feel like you need to wear a mask to feel safe, wear it, but to those that get all officious about it, that is crossing the line of respect, and turns into bullying. So masks are not about being inconvenienced, but more so about freedom to choose. JMO.

What about the seat belt nazis and the DUI nazis and smoking nazis?  Heck let's just throw out all the public health and safety laws because they all infringe on someone's "freedom".  Personal inconvenience should always trump someone's right to live.  I am sure the loved ones of 200,000+ dead people don't think the virus is just a bad cold.

HOWEVER, you are ignoring those who have "supposedly" recovered are now left with long term health problems ...... I am certain that the families of the 204K who have already succombed from this "mild" disease are happy that you think that it is not "all that" serious ..... 

https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/coronavirus/in-depth/coronavirus-long-term-effects/art-20490351

We've actually had an influx of positive patients and many of our long term covid patients have died. We also got a patient from northern sd which I thought was weird.

our local WM in Oklahoma has taken the entrancy/exit alleys down and BOTH doors are now working. For months you have only been able to use 1 entrance/exit. The 1 way signs down the isles have been removed as well as of this past weekend. I have been going in ours for a while without a mask. I got some looks from employess but noone ever said anything to me

Thank you lord

My SIL who is a registered nurse heard from a friend who filled out all the paperwork for his Covid test but because of time constraints had to leave before he could be tested; however, he did leave the paperwork he had filled out.  Got a notice in the mail a couple of days later that he had tested postive.  Hmmmmmm !!!

I've been asked twice now to put on a mask while I was at a restaurant waiting for a table. 2 different places, same county. I oblige or I go wait outside .. no big deal. 2nd one I didnt have a mask anywhere near or on me, so I took my hoodie sleeve and covered my mouth and nose ... that was good enough apparently because they said thank you.  Insanely ridiculous but whatever. I understand they are trying to stay open and keep their employees paid. But, in our county not a single person wears a mask in any restaurant and very few stores and no one says a thing about it. I dont do the news and numbers.  Baseball tournament this weekend in 2 different counties... we all got the email saying masks were to be worn if social distancing wasn't an option... I think I saw maybe a handful of folks wearing masks the entire weekend.  Bathrooms were disgusting as usual, hand washing signs posted everywhere and water fountains turned off... and of course, all the bathrooms were out of soap. I went to TSC today to get dog food and had to use the restroom. Guess what... soap dispensers empty and nothing to dry hands with nor any hand sanitizer... I told the cashier they were out of soap in the commode. I could see the concern written all over her face. Far as I am concerned they want to make us do our part in wearing these darn masks and comply to come into their store or event... they need to also do their part and keep bathrooms tidy and make sure there's soap to wash your hands in the bathroom... basic hygiene....  

My take on all this,,,,,,,,, If anyplace you go into says to wear a mask then wear a mask, if a event as in sports are whatever says you need to wear a mask then wear a mask, if you dont want to wear a mask then stay the he** home, dont go some were so you can cause a scene because you dont feel like wearing a mask, dont embarrass your friends are children when you feel like causing a scene, do as asked or dont go!!!! Thats why I stay home I hate wearing a mask, but when I do go somewhere and says maskes are needed then I wear a mask. Easy Peasy

Lol!!! You have a point... but alas, I view it differently... if you're worried about going out in public without a mask then you should be the one staying home, because it's been proven over n over masks provide very little to no protection from the rona. But that's just my take on it. Those with compromised health or those caretakers of those in not so great of health they should absolutely take extra precautions. I certainly dont go out not wearing a mask to make a scene, I'll leave or cover up if i absolutely have to, I just don't think it should be mandatory, that's all. 

I understand exactly what you are saying, I for one Do Not Do Well Being Told What to Do!!!! I have always been the rebellious one in my family so instead of going somewhere and knowing I'm going to have to wear a mask I will try to aovid that place. I will wear it when we go somewhere to eat if they have a sign up, I'll walk in with it on and once we sit down to eat I will take it off and most times it stays off for the rest of the evening. Never been told to put one on since I wear a face cover that gos around my neck when I have to go into town for any reason, when I walk in I just pull it up over my face and if no body is around me while looking for something I just pull it down and when I check out I just pull it up over my face if I feel the need to, I dont see any trouble with that. I'm not worried about going in public without a mask, never have and never will but just going with the flow and want to help out as much as possible. They are lifting the face mask rules some around here so its just a matter of time befor this is all behind us. And so this is my take on it all... So just be kind to one another we are ALL so done with this Crap!!!

Theres to much Drama now so why add more Drama...

I hope you are right about the mask nonsense being over and done with soon. Because obviously this coronavirus isnt just going to go away, like the common cold or flu.. I'm not saying its exactly like those but I'm just using those as an example. I wasnt telling you directly to stay home if you're scared to go out in public, I was saying, just in general,  like the people that absolutely lose their crap over someone not wearing a mask .... and I know you arent referring to me causing drama, just a blanket statement... I just think its ridiculous... a virus so deadly that a piece of fabric, (i used a headband once to cover my mouth and nose) is sufficient enough to be able to shop or go to a restaurant without being hassled .. I literally could take a single ply piece of toilet paper and cover my mouth and nose and walk right into a store... wont do a bit of good now wont it???  That's where I take issue... not so much being rebellious or not wanting to be told what to do. I'm not an outlaw lol!! I just dont buy into all the mask hype.

I was looking today and thought it was a little interesting that up to this day, we'll say 9/30 for general purposes.....total US deaths, even with the whole rona deal, is still way under what its been at this point in previous years. The population has grown and less have died....even with corona...let that sink in...
