That mask, though…


Are you ready for this week’s absurdity? Here’s our weekly roll-up of the most ridiculous stories from around the world that are threats to your liberty, risks to your prosperity… and on occasion, inspiring poetic justice.

Lawmakers have mandated a variety of COVID restrictions to stem the spread of the pandemic, but not all lawmakers have been willing to follow the rules.
Governors, mayors and state health departments have required that Americans wear masks, social distance, refrain from spending time in large groups, quarantine after traveling across state lines, stay home from church services and much more.
But many political leaders and members of their families have failed to comply with social distancing rules. Here’s a list of lawmakers who appeared to dodge coronavirus-related restrictions.




Surveillance video from inside Ming Dynasty showed an off-duty Quincy police officer and three other people become violent and go crazy when a dispute arose over wearing a face mask.
The video shows a 49-year-old woman smashing the front desk of the restaurant over the mask dispute, while attacking the owner.
“She was pushing my husband and smashed my front desk,” restaurant owner Lei Yan said. “It put my husband’s life in danger.”
Accompanying the woman was the off duty cop who also became irate and was using his badge to justify his illegal actions.
Yan said the group came in after midnight and was very drunk. She said the incident started after the restaurant refused to serve them drinks.
“When they came in, they looked very drunk,” Yan stated.
After being refused drinks, the group of drunks then allegedly left their seats to protest Yan’s decision and refused to put on masks.
That’s when the violence started and when the cop protected the offender.
“He just took his police ID, showing our whole bar, our whole restaurant,” restaurant co-owner Jimmy Tian said. “Like, I’m a police officer, I don’t need a mask.”
