On Wednesday evening, the owner of Dessart Sweets received a call from her staff that concerned her.
“Some people came to the deck to order ice cream not wearing masks,” Shelley Patterson said Thursday. “Our staff told them to put their masks on and they became irate and caused a huge scene.”
A video recorded by one of the anti-maskers was published online. The scene was not out of the ordinary in a time when anti-mask protests are occurring.
“There were about 15 of them,” Patterson said. “They were saying they have rights and were wondering if they could call the police because they were being discriminated against.
