[WATCH] Anti-masker flash mob protests at Colorado grocery store: “It’s our right to be here”

As the number of new COVID-19 cases falls in Colorado, maskless protesters are continuing to push back against health mandates in public ways.

According to Westword, a group of eleven anti-maskers marched through two stores in Grand Junction, including Natural Grocers and Bed, Bath, & Beyond, shopping without wearing masks. They were allowed to shop in Natural Grocers, but were not served at Bed, Bath, & Beyond.

In another instance, people entered stores in Lakewood.

Watch a video below of the ‘Freedom Flash Mob’ storming a Natural Grocers in Lakewood, Colorado. In the video, one participant can be heard saying “It’s our right to be here” after being approached by a store employee

“Natural Grocers states that they adhere to local mandates yet they will not let you in their stores if you cannot medically tolerate a mask,” the video caption reads. “This brave group of people from all different backgrounds shows you that Natural Grocers cannot deny you service.”

In another video taken in Florida, a “flash mob” yells at shoppers to remove their face masks at a Target. That video has since gone viral, getting more than 160,000 views on YouTube.

In total, Colorado has seen 421,294 cases of COVID-19, with 23,183 hospitalizations and 5,723 deaths attributed to the virus.
