I wanted to rewrite this post because my last one had a lot of on-the-fly edits and I think I can make this cleaner.
Here's what we should do:
-
Find people in your neighborhood/community who are sick of masks and want a change and invite them to participate. Start a facebook group or get people on a massive text chain or something like that.
-
Decide the dates and times you plan to do this. Get people to go in groups of at least 15, the bigger the better. That's disruptive, and frankly, people can go in all day in different shifts and keep it going.
-
Decide on the grocery store you wish to target.
-
Go in with masks on, grab a cart, and grab all the perishable goods (meat, cheese, milk, eggs, etc.) along with a few other things to make replacing things more time consuming.
-
Place your list with the demands on the top of the cart filled with items (it will say "replace your 'masks required signs' with a 'we support your constitutional rights--no masks required' signs and then these actions will stop.")
-
Walk your cart to the front of the store.
-
Leave it there and go home.
This way we:
-
Avoid physical confrontations
-
Avoid being identified so we can be charged with trespassing, etc.
-
Create real disruption for these business owners forcing them to change.
That i think makes us look like assholes. Everything you said up until the part you wear your mask. In a group, walk in without a mask, shop, get to the counter and if they say they won't ring you up then say ok, no problem, and walk out. No arguing, no fussing. Surgical. Quick, direct. And inconvenience them with a full cart.
The group from the video today tried that. They barely made it inside the store before they were accosted. These people in some parts of our country have become militant about it. This would end that nonsense once and for all.
I guess you are right. It depends how crazy the town is then.
