‘You are kidnapping me!’: Anti-mask activist busted in Florida bagel shop

An outspoken anti-mask activist in Florida was arrested for refusing to put on a face covering at a bagel shop — with wild video showing the bizarre bust.

Cindy Falco-DiCorrado, 62, of Boynton Beach, was arrested Thursday at an Einstein Bros. Bagels in Boca Raton, where she allegedly ignored requests from a customer and a deputy to put on a mask, the Palm Beach Post reported.

“You are violating the Constitution,” Falco-DiCorrado told the responding officer, according to a Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office report. “I am not leaving. That’s discrimination.”

Video of the encounter posted to a “Crazy Karens” Instagram account shows Falco-DiCorrado, clad entirely in leopard print, refusing to cooperate inside the bagel shop, WPEC reported.

“Get your hand off of me!” she yelled at the deputy. “You are kidnapping me! I will personally … what is your name? Take your hands off of me — you don’t have the right, sir! Get your hand off of me, I’ve done nothing wrong, I’m not a criminal.”

Falco-DiCorrado then accused the deputy of violating her constitutional rights as she was dragged outside in front of several other customers, video shows.

“This is so illegal,” she said at one point in the clip. “I’m asking you to take your hand off of me!”

A second deputy then helped escort Falco-DiCorrado outside, where she was cuffed against a squad car — while repeating, “In the name of Jesus!”

She was busted on charges of trespassing and resisting an officer without violence, the Palm Beach Post reported.

Cindy Falco-DiCorrado, 62, of Boynton Beach, Florida.

The incident reportedly marked the former Boynton Beach Community Redevelopment Agency advisory board member’s second mask-related arrest since the start of the pandemic.

She was also arrested for trespassing and resisting arrest without violence at an anti-mask protest in Lake Worth Beach in May with two other women. She pleaded not guilty in May and has a plea conference hearing set in the case on Feb. 23, according to the newspaper.

Falco-DiCorrado was also featured in a segment that aired in June on HBO’s “Last Week Tonight with John Oliver.” She was among a group of critics ridiculed by the host for their views on mandatory face masks in Palm Beach County, video shows.

“The CDC said itself they made a mistake,” Falco-DiCorrado said on the clip. “There’s not enough to make this a pandemic — this is a ‘plannedemic.’”

In late 2017, Falco-DiCorrado was forced to resign from the Boynton Beach advisory board for allegations of being a white supremacist and making racist remarks, including telling one city resident to use “better English,” the Palm Beach Post reported.

“You’re lucky we brought you over as slaves, or else you’d be deported, too,” she allegedly told black residents, according to the newspaper.

Falco-DiCorrado was released Friday after posting $2,000 bail. She pleaded not guilty to both charges, court records indicate.

She claimed Saturday she went to the bagel shop to eat with a friend and has a medical and religious exemption from the county’s mask mandate.

“American freedoms are being taken away,” Falco-DiCorrado told the Palm Beach Post. “It’s a sad day when you have people and officers picking on people for just being alive. This is an abuse of humanity.”

Let her get infected with the virus.

Florida grocery store bucks mask mandate; owner says Covid death toll is 'hogwash'

The owner of Oakes Farms Seed to Table Market in Naples said he knows masks do not work.

A video that was taken at a South Florida grocery store shows nearly every customer and employee without a mask.

The footage was filmed this week at Oakes Farms Seed to Table Market in Naples, about 42 miles south of Fort Myers. In it, not a mask is in sight and social distancing is not being followed.

As of Thursday morning, the video on NBC News correspondent Sam Brock's Twitter page has generated 7,600 comments, nearly 16,000 retweets and more than 20,000 likes. Reactions run the gamut, with some defending the customers and employees and others expressing outrage.

The store's owner, Alfie Oakes, could not be reached for comment on Thursday. He told NBC's "TODAY" show he knows masks do not work and doesn't believe the coronavirus has killed hundreds of thousands of people in the United States.

"That's total hogwash," Oakes said, later adding, "Why don't we shut the world down because of the heart attacks? Why don't we lock down cities because of heart attacks?"

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has repeatedly stated that masks and social distancing can help slow the spread of the coronavirus.

According to NBC News' latest data, the total number of deaths in the country climbed to more than 452,000, with Florida having the fourth-highest number of fatalities.

Collier County, where Naples is located, has seen more than 27,000 cases of Covid-19 since the start of the pandemic and 413 deaths, according to the state's Department of Health website.

Even though the county has a mask mandate in place, Oakes' store has a sign out front that states customers do not have to wear one if they have a medical condition.  

"Those in our lovely government have ordered all persons entering indoor facilities to wear a mask. If you have a medical condition that prevents you from wearing a mask, you are exempt from this order. Due to HIPAA and the 4th Amendment we cannot legally ask you about your medical condition," it reads.  

"Therefore, if we see you without a mask, we will assume you have a medical condition and we will welcome you inside to support our business."  

County Commissioner Andy Solis said his biggest fear is that Covid-19 cases will increase and the hospitals will become overwhelmed.  

"It's very disappointing and very concerning," he said.

Young women in Florida dress as 'grannies' in apparent attempt to get COVID-19 vaccine, official says

The Orange County Sheriff's Office released bodycam video of the two young women after they were discovered posing as "grannies" to get a COVID-19 vaccine.

February 19, 2021

ORLANDO, Fla. -- Young women in Florida dressed up as older women in an apparent attempt to qualify for COVID-19 vaccination, a local official said Thursday.

Dr. Raul Pino, the director of the Florida Department of Health in Orange County, said the women arrived at a vaccination site "dressed up as grannies" in bonnets, glasses and gloves but were turned away. The women appeared to be in their twenties, he told reporters.

Pino said the young women were coming for their second dose of the vaccine and had valid vaccination cards from their first dose. Pino didn't know how they got through the vaccination process the first time. He hinted that there was an issue with the women's photo identification the second time around.

The Orange County Sheriff's Office released bodycam video of the two women after they were discovered.

"You know what you've done? You've stolen a vaccine from somebody who needs it more than you. And now you're not going to get your second one. So that's a whole waste of time we just wasted here on this," one officer could be heard saying in the video.

"If you come back, you'll be arrested. You're lucky you're not being arrested right now."

The situation has been referred to the county sheriff's office for further investigation, Orlando ABC affiliate WFTV reported.

Security has been beefed up around vaccination sites, Pino said.

"This is the hottest commodity that is out there right now," he said of the COVID-19 vaccine. "We have to be very careful with the funds and the resources that we are provided."

'I spent $15,000': Man arrested at Disney resort in Florida after refusing temperature check

Body camera video showed the man refusing to leave Disney Springs in Orlando, arguing about how much he had spent and claiming to be a Disney stockholder.

A man who was arrested after refusing a temperature screening at Disney Springs in Florida told authorities that he couldn't be told to leave because he had spent $15,000 on his vacation.

The man, Kelly Sills, a tourist from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, bypassed the Orlando attraction's medical screening in February and refused to get his temperature checked when asked by Disney employees, according to a report from the Orange County Sheriff's Department.

Body camera video released recently showed Sills refusing to leave when asked by law enforcement.

"I spent $15,000 to come here," Sills said after a deputy told him that he was officially considered to be trespassing. Deputies and a security manager at Disney Springs had approached Sills outside the Boathouse restaurant, according to the police report.

The report said Sills argued with the security manager, yelling at him, before the manager told him he was "no longer welcome at the park today."

A woman could be heard asking officers not to arrest Sills in the video.

"He's not listening," a man responded. "All he had to do was get temperature-checked. That's it."

At another point in the video, Sills asked whether authorities could take his temperature before forcing him to leave. Someone responded that they would do so at jail, according to NBC affiliate WFLA of Tampa. Sills also claimed to be a Disney stockholder at another point.

Sills pleaded not guilty to a misdemeanor trespassing charge, according to court records. His attorney, Michael Zmijewski, declined to comment Sunday.

Miami Private School Won't Employ Vaccinated Teachers, Citing Debunked COVID Myths

In a letter to parents, Centner Academy recommended that all faculty and staff "hold off" on getting the shot until there "is further research available on whether this experimental drug is impacting unvaccinated individuals"

By NBC 6 • Published April 26, 2021 • Updated 2 hours ago

A private school in Miami is discouraging teachers from getting the COVID-19 vaccine — and in a letter to parents, the school says it will not employ anyone who has taken it.

Centner Academy's new policy directs teachers to not get the vaccine or they won’t be allowed around students — effectively losing their jobs.

The policy has some parents looking for a new school. 

"The whole year has been unbelievably shuffled for all of us to know what to do. And I don't know if there's going to be teachers there," said one mother, who asked to be identified as only Lidia because she says she signed a document that prohibits parents from speaking ill about the academy.

"They're very pro 'my body, my choice,' and yet, it's the complete opposite of that is what she's actually telling these teachers. It's your body, but it's her choice," Lidia said.

Leila Centner, the school’s co-founder, issued a statement to NBC 6 on Monday, saying in part, "We are not 100% sure the COVID injections are safe and there are too many unknown variables for us to feel comfortable at this current time."

In the statement, Centner suggests the vaccine may be responsible for unfounded reports of reproductive issues for women.

“..It appears that those who have received the injections may be transmitting something from their bodies to those with whom they come in contact," the statement read.

"I mean, that's just absolutely an insane comment," Lidia said. "I mean, I don't know how she can possibly imagine that something's going to pass through the air from one person to the other."

Doctors and scientists have repeatedly debunked false information about the vaccine’s side effects, and there is no indication that any of the coronavirus vaccines cause reproductive issues for women.

In fact, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently recommended COVID-19 shots for pregnant women after preliminary data from the largest study of coronavirus vaccine use among expectant mothers showed that Pfizer's and Moderna's jabs were safe for the women as well as their babies.

"No safety concerns were observed for people vaccinated in the third trimester or safety concerns for their babies," CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky said Friday. "As such, CDC recommends pregnant people receive COVID-19 vaccines."

Lidia says if she could take her child out of this school now, she would, but her hands are tied. She already paid about $30,000 of tuition up front.

Centner Academy also says its decision will stand until they know for sure the vaccine is 100% safe.

The only ones who need to go back to fucking med school are these nutjobs who shouldn't even be in the profession in the first place.

And then they need a lobotomy.

And then an exorcism.
