An anti-face mask rally in Costa Mesa on Saturday afternoon, August 15, resulted in the arrest of two women on suspicion of trespassing, according to the Costa Mesa Police Department’s Facebook page.

The trespassing occurred at the Mother’s Market located at 1890 Newport Blvd., before 2:15 p.m., which is when a store manager called the police.

The Costa Mesa Police Department did not clarify what the protesters did to get arrested. Their identities were also kept private.

Demonstrators have been protesting COVID-19 restrictions near Newport Boulevard and 19th Street regularly.

    1. Yes good for the anti-face mask protesters! Costa Mesa needs to fine more people. That’s $200 for the city. Now let’s get the hundreds more to build up some funds! It can be donated to the hospitals caring for these imbeciles that are catching and passing on the virus with these moronic protests.

  1. Lady made VIEDO. DONT WANT TO WEAR MACK. GO TO YOUR COUNTRY WALK DOWN MARKET STREET BUY YOUR GOAT AND ENJOY

  2. If it was a black lives matter rally no one would be arrested. If you are black you do not have to wear a mask. If you are black you can loot and burn down your city and not be arrested. If you are black you can rape women and not be arrested.

    The virus is less deadly than the flu and the mask does nothing. Dr. Fauci admitted it on live TV.

    1. OMG this is the very definition of racist bias. Glad you outed yourself. Now post your picture so we can see who you are and stay out of a convo with you

  3. If you are WHITE you can kill people and nothing happens to you. If you are WHITE you can massacre people who are white at a country music concert and say the man who did it is a AMERICAN. If you are WHITE you believe 20 babies killed at Sandyhook is a hoax so you can keep your guns. If you are WHITE and believe wearing a mask is dum then you and your old granny will die. $100 is not enough the city should make it a $1000 fine hit you stupid people where it really hurts your pockets. You don’t care if your old granny gets covid your hoping covid kills her so you can get any inheritance coming your way…karma is a b!+*×

    1. Approximately 13% of the US population is black and 72% of the population is white….

      Yet that 13% of the population is committing 37% (from 2017 FBI statistics) of violent crimes. White people commited 58% of crimes. So blacks are committing violent crimes three times the amount of their population.

      FBI data shows that 93% of black homicide victims are killed by other blacks.

      Blacks committed 52% of homicides from 1980-2008, despite composing of just 13% of the population. White committed 45% of homicides in the same timeframe.

      Blacks in Los Angeles make up 10% of the population but commit 42% of its robberies, 34% of the felonies. Whites makes up 29% of the the cities population but commit 5% of robberies and 13% of felonies.

      In 2015, almost 6,000 blacks were killed by other blacks compared to 258 blacks killed by police gunfire.

      You can go into high percentage of blacks being irresponsible having a very high single motherhood rate and the low percentage of blacks that graduate high school. The biggest problems blacks have is themselves.

      1. Go to the beach. Find your beach. Relax with your beach. Dont take phone to beach. Be happy at the beach. Dont get upset or give dirty looks when the Mexicans and Blacks roll up on your beach. Take a nap at the beach. Talk to Jesus at the beach. Ask him to remove that racist blood in your system. Drink water at the beach. Respect your grandma at the beach. Pretend it’s your beach in your head but welcome all. Or the sharks might just bite you where it hurts to remind you it’s not your beach biscuit. Ease up the wannabe hard looks. Smile beach.
