I see a lot of kids walking around without masks

I assume cops have the right to ask kids for ID if they look older than 12? what's the age limit?

Kids, especially those with disabilities or neurodiversities, should be exempted from wearing masks.

It's about time someone sued the Disney Corporation for something.  I just hope the plaintiffs win.

So telling the kid not to hurt others with his breath is a travesty but what if he were a healthy carrier? I'm sorry for your brittle sensibilities but this kid could be killing other kids. Just the same way he's got ASD, anyone else could have any other condition.

It's a matter of life & death so put the f*****g masks on or admit your indifference towards who might die if you don't.

Basically what I'm saying is that it seems like people could be making a drastically greater effort in this country to wear a piece of fabric that might stop someone else from dying. Momentary discomfort is not as bad as someone else dying.

I agree.  It's just that DisneyCorp has become greedy and monopolistic, and needs to be taken down a notch or two.

^ Who on earth is Maxine? I know the others. I'm not from the US.

Try to avoid bringing party politics into this... This is an autism issue.

She's a politician who loves to spew her intolerant views toward others who are different from her. I wouldn't be surprised if she supporting having the autistic boy arrested.

Do you have any evidence to suggest she supports that or is this just something you feel to be true because you really dislike her?
