2 Target customers who refused to wear face masks were arrested after a brawl that broke an employee

Two men refused to wear masks during their trip to a Los Angeles Target store, according to the LAPD.

Phillip and Paul Hamilton were being escorted out of the store when one of the men punched an employee before a fight broke out among the group, according to a department statement published alongside a video of the incident.

While on the ground, a store employee broke his left arm, the LAPD said.

The incident comes as the latest clash between retail employees and customers refusing to abide by face-mask policies.

Horrifying.

Also saw they were homeless, according to the story. Guess they have a place to stay now.

They won't have to worry about somebody telling you to wear a mask there.

These employees should be getting hazard pay. Not only do they have to be on the frontlines where they are constantly exposed to possible infected people, they are now in danger from idiots that are assaulting them.

No customers allowed in the store anymore. That would be my policy if I were in charge of any of these stores. You can make orders online and associates will fill them and bring them to your car with a no-touch policy.
