Man wears a mesh face mask to prove mandatory masks in Florida is not about protection but compliance

A man decides to prove a point that masks are not for protection but compliance when he decides to use a mesh face mask rather than a filter mask in Walmart that is mandated in Tampa, Florida.

"I visited a local Walmart in a county that put an ordinance in place that mandates masks," the filmer, Russ Ward, said.

"I wore a mask that is designed for protecting your face in a paintball battle.

You can easily breathe through it.

I walked all around the store, talked to employees, and other shoppers, and every one of them could see my mouth." "It was almost like not wearing a mask at all.

Nobody cared.

That's because it's not about safety.

It's all about compliance." The video was filmed on Wednesday (June 24).
