That's for damn sure! I went to an appt. last year (July 12-my birthday) and I explained at the front desk that I cannot wear a mask. I refused to leave the property. I was called a "Karen" by passersby while the director herself was telling me I had two choices - put on a mask, or leave the property. I was arrested, handcuffed and booked into the county jail.... for trespassing. Needless to say I missed my appt. which was for Mental Health. The most insane thing was that no one even asked me my name or if I was having a mental health crisis - which I was. I would love to know how many veterans were arrested across the country because we stood up for ourselves.

It happened one other time, but instead of getting handcuffed I called the crisis hotline - so I beat them to it.
