‘Karen’ calls 911 after being barred from pet store for not wearing a mask

A woman called 911 for being denied entry into a California pet store because she wasn’t wearing a mask — claiming she has a “religious exemption right and God-given right” that are protected under the Civil Rights Act.

Aidan Bearpaw, who works at Bones-N-Scones in Palm Springs, recorded the tense encounter on Sunday and posted it to Facebook, writing, “I’ve never had to deal with a karen calling 911 on me before all because I asked her to please wear a mask in the store.”

The six-minute video shows Bearpaw telling the woman she needs to wear a mask inside the store, where it’s nearly closing time, or else he’ll provide a “reasonable accommodation.”

The woman threatens to call 911, saying he’s “technically discriminating” against her and that she can’t wear a face covering because of health issues.

“I’ll have a panic attack, I will freak out, I will have an anxiety attack,” she says.

The woman then asks Bearpaw to “accommodate me by giving me an hour at the end of every day, an hour at the beginning of the day.”

“There is no one in the store,” she adds.

Bearpaw shoots back, “There’s me in the store,” to which she responds, “So you stand 7,000 feet away from me.”

“Ma’am, I’m just trying to do my job,” he answers.

“And I’m trying to make sure that I have rights,” she says. “You’ll make sure to hear that in the end you’re the one who will be cited, not me.”

Tell me why you need a mask if your negative? What’s the point if your positive to stay home if your wearing a mask? Democrats want mandatory mask for everyone but won’t share the actual science behind it. Name a control study with wearing a mask with China 19?

She needs to be reported to the Health Department she is knowingly endangering others for her crazy excuses not to wear a mask, fine she doesn't want to wear one stay home and order everything on line including her groceries. I'd call the law everytime she walked in this store and notify all authorities because she is "entitled".

9:05: It's actually very simple. Masks are proven to reduce the spread from infected people to uninfected people. The point of wearing a mask is that there are times during which you are infected with the virus, but don't know it. In an early stage of infection you are not symptomatic, but you can still unknowingly spread the disease. That is the science. You wear the mask to protect other people, if you care about other people. And even if you don't care about other people, someone else wearing a mask is protecting you, so you should support mask-wearing even just for your own selfish reasons.

905 climate wind and temperatures are making the virus worse. Climate crisis is the biggest threat of our lifetime NOT covid. Most of the country’s snow is melted and most of the ocean front condos you can buy for 200 dollars. Banks will NOT give you a mortgage for any property on the ocean. TRUTH OVER FACTS.

Masks are slightly better than nothing A cloth mask is about 100 microns. Vivid is 10 microns. So a mask is like stopping a garden hose with chicken wire. Science.
And I do wear one where required.

11:26 The key to your statement is the phrase, "Proven to reduce", however masks aren't proven to prevent. If a person isn't coughing or sneezing and running a fever then there isn't a reason to wear the mask.

---------------------

And what does 911 have to do with this? These people need to start being charged with 911 Fraud when calling 911 when there is no emergency.

@11:45 He's not negative. They're just saying he is as an excuse to keep doing campaign events. Did you see his rally yesterday? He looked like shit, spoke for less than 20 minutes (usually those rallies go over an hour) and he had a bandage on the back of his hand from an IV. He's still obviously sick. Insisting he's not is just dangerous at this point.

If so simple please show me the study of covid 19 and paper mask, cloth mash, plastic mask slowing the spread in the general public inside or outside...Example-more people have it now with mandatory mask in place then had before with out mask in place. States that don’t have masks orders aren’t not more sick. Again please a actual control test group of the common use mask?? If you can’t then your just repeating catchy marketing gimmicks. 60 million people had h1n1 but the government and cdc did not make it mandatory on death certificates. How many people died from covid 19 that were other wise healthy ?? Also riots and protests did not lead to outbreaks! Why? But going to church does? Why ?

1243 you haven’t had covid therefore you can’t talk about. You just repeat the media. Our President has had covid 19 and beat it. You can’t get passed the narrative of the media. Fact of the matter Trump is a hero now. Science

@4:58 The White House said he's negative, not doctors. It wouldn't be the first time a WH covered up a president's poor health. JFK had a whole slew of medical issues, FDR had polio, Wilson had a stroke, Reagan had Alzheimers. Trump could easily be on that list. They already covered up his secret weekend at Walter Reed last year.

Climate crisis is so serious all BUILDING on ocean from has been stopped. No banks and no money. Banks can’t get the return on 30 40 50 year notes do to the rising ocean water.
Al gore lives on the ocean
Obama lives on the ocean
Biden 2.5 million dollar house on the ocean in Delaware on the ocean front
Bill Clinton ocean front
Aoc mom ocean front
Bernie sanders water front
But politicians don’t count because of science
