"In mid-2021, as the Delta variant rapidly spread among unvaccinated
populations across the United States and public officials began publicly
flirting with the prospect of still more measures to quell the spread of the
next phase of the COVID-19 pandemic, local and national news organizations
began to turn their attention to violent, emotionally charged spectacles played
out by people claiming to be opposed to mask mandates.
In one such event on July 22 2021, anti-masking activists mocked and attacked a
breast cancer patient outside a Los Angeles clinic:
Protesters then ask [cancer patient Kate Burns] if she’s familiar with the
Civil Rights Act. “Get on the right side of history,” one man says. “You’ve
got a lot of anger you need to release. It’s a very dangerous emotion.”
Tensions continued to rise as more far-right, anti-maskers arrived on the
scene. A small group of anti-fascists also arrived, and got into
altercations with the far-right. A woman holding a megaphone shoved Burns,
and then punched her several times. Burns said, on social media, that the
woman hit her in the chest and struck her scars.
[…]
Thursday was the second time that anti-maskers had targeted that particular
breast cancer clinic over its mask policy. The ugly scenes and casual
political violence that unfolded there on both occasions have become
troublingly common across the U.S.…
Increasingly confrontational scenes in which apparently aggrieved people make
loud scenes for reasons they do not seem to be able to fully describe or
explain do indeed seem to be more and more common — and not just in the United
States."
