A customer wearing a swastika face mask was confronted by deputies at a grocery store in the same Southern California community where another shopper wore a Ku Klux Klan hood just days ago the latest examples of white supremacist and anti-Semitic symbols being used to protest COVID-19 safety measures.
The shopper removed the swastika after being ordered to do so by deputies called to the scene at Food 4 Less in Santee on Thursday, said law enforcement authorities.
The shopper who later identified himself to the Times of San Diego (and to police) as Santee resident Dustin Hart uploaded a video of his confrontation with a store clerk and a pair of deputies called to the scene to deal with a disturbance. He claimed it was his First Amendment right to wear the mask. But one of the deputies pointed out that he was in a family friendly private store that can make their own rules. The officer added: They dont want people seeing that. Its offensive.
Seconds earlier, the Times reported, a store clerk asked him to remove the mask because it was basically a hate crime. He refused.
Think that's why all the banks in town went to drive-thru only as everybody walking into a bank is wearing a mask.
I'm sure that face mask designs can really get creative. My sister-in-law is making them using bra-cups and swimsuit
tops/cups.

I always laugh when people start going off about their rights! How about your responsibilities?
