Wisconsin business owner bans wearing of masks

A Wisconsin business owner banned the use of masks in her buildings Friday, after the state Supreme Court overturned the state's stay-at-home order.

Annie's Campground, near Gresham, Wisconsin, posted the new rule on the establishment's Facebook page: "Masks are NOT allowed in the buildings for safety sake. They are viewed as a robbery in progress and will be handled that way." The post goes on to list planned events and food items available to patrons for the May 15-17 weekend, before thanking patrons in its conclusion.

1. What has happened to your state? Republicans. Fox "news".

Of course, republicans and fox news are one and the same, but I'm sorry for Wisconsin. It's a deadly duo.

Unenforceable rule.

Then I wouldn’t be camping anyway.

6. A private business can enforce any rule they want.

No matter how stupid the rule may be. You are making the exact same argument as those who refuse to wear masks.

In that part of Wisconsin that means guns.

Her sign should say, no one with brains allowed. I hope her politics work out for her business.......

The part of her sign that said that masked people would be treated as robbers is not a very subtle threat of violence.

13. That "robbery in progress" statement concerns me

It almost sounds like a justification for shooting someone in a face mask.
