A father from upstate New York was seen on video being forcibly tossed from a school board meeting this week after he refused to wear a mask. Dave Calus was unmasked while sitting in a chair watching a presentation at a board of education meeting in Webster on Tuesday night when a security guard approached him and asked him to put on a face covering. Callus said he told the guard Thank you, but refused to cover up. The officer persisted, saying No, you need to put your mask on right now. The security guard then dragged Calus chair towards the back of the room. Callus turned around to confront the security guard but is then pushed out of a back door, video posted to the Facebook page ROC for Educational Freedom Public Page shows. What are you doing?! the woman filming the video yells. What are you doing?! Holy crap. Holy crap. That is assault. That is assault. the woman says. Do you put your hands on our children, too? another lady asks the guard.

The incident occurred one day before New York Gov. Kathy Hochul announced an end to indoor mask mandate for businesses, citing a 93 percent drop in COVID-19 cases following the nationwide surge from the Omicron variant. However, the mandate remains in effect for schools and other state-run facilities. After the encounter, Calus went to urgent care for evaluation, he said Wednesday, on Kimberlys Revolution podcast. He said he was a little sore but otherwise OK. The father of two, who has one son in high school and another in college, claims the incident was unprovoked. I went into the building without a mask on. I signed in and they said you need to wear a mask, he said on the podcast. I said thank you. I signed in, they handed me a mask I did not put the mask on and I put it in my pocket. Calus said the school board separated parents who refused to wear masks from the other abiding parents. They were segregating masked and unmasked parents, he explained. The unmasked parents were going to have to sit in a classroom with a video monitoring watching and listening to the board meeting. He said he was sitting for about 15 or 20 minutes before the guard approached him. He was not surprised that the guard confronted him, as he had heard him approach other maskless parents and ask them to cover their faces. Callus had planned to address the school board about mask mandates, which he is against, before he was removed.

Fucked around,found out.

Fair, next.

What a silly sausage.

"I didn't follow the rules of the establishment that I voluntarily attended, how could I face consequences?!"

You love to see it

Did they end the mandate? California is soon, Oregon is next month I think.

dumb bitch needs to be silenced

"is this how you treat our children too!?"

Shut the fuck up, Bitch.

Obey the rules next time.

Get fucked, anti-vaxxers/maskers.

This took place one day before the mask mandate was announced to be ending in NY. But you still have to wear it in schools, Nursing homes, Correctional facilities, homeless shelters, Broadway theatres, hospitals, public transit. So this guy likely would have still been kicked out even after the mask mandate ended.

yep, he is assaulting everyone else in that room. he's also trespassing once he refuses to leave.

What a surprise, the entitled man-child is a retired cop. Who woulda thunk it?

No the retired cop is the security guard, not the maskless guy

Despite breaking the rules, the guy didn't deserve to be assaulted. They should have just literally asked the nearby cop to escort him off the premises though. The guy wouldn't have been able to tell the cop "no" or refuse to leave in that situation.

Make me.

"It was unprovoked, they told me the rules and I said thank you and ignored the rules. I said thank you, isn't that enough"

Fair, next.

sounds fair to me

conservatives: private property owners have rights to enforce their own rules and remove people who don't follow them!!!!!!!!!

also conservatives: the above rule does not apply if someone makes me follow a rule i dont personally agree with!

These people think you can say "no thanks " to a health rule

They should have thrown him out like Jazz in Fresh Prince

I can only imagine the kind of mental conditioning that child is getting at home with a patriarch who doesn't respect authority.

If that officer is known for putting his hands on kids, why is he still stationed there?

He had every reason to be kicked out, but that retired cop security dude definitely went overboard for no real reason. Especially with an officer right there who could have escorted the dad out (and which he did for the rest of the way after he got involved).

Also, why the fuck does a bumfuck school upstate have so many guards and police officers for a school board meeting?

Aww the big bad anti masker is feeling "a little sore" after the mean security guard pushed him around. Poor baby.

He's not. He was baselessly accused of it because he enforced a mask mandate.

lmao get rekt

Webster's near Rochester and has a Wegman's. Not "bumfuck" country.

I wish we had a Wegman's around here.
Price Chopper basically has a monopoly around here.

Imagine being a grown adult and not understanding the concept of "If I don't follow rules there may be consequences".

I haven't lived in upstate NY since 2015, but I still miss Wegman's.

Ya, it seems better.
The Golubs or Price Chopper have definitely greased some palms to make sure they have as little competition as possible. It's not a horrible chain, but I would like some other options in town.

he has a history of assaulting kids too.

He should have tossed that mouthy simpleton out too

Theres a hint in the video from 0:00 til the end.

The guy was non-compliant with mask requirements and a lawful order to vacate. We've all seen people treated a lot worse under far more ambiguous circumstances.

Fair, next for this guy.

They should have shot the annoying lady

Covid deniers really are mentally inferior. I said thank you is apparently some sort of code for them, Ive heard several of them claim they say this in these situations, as if it allows them carte blanche.

lmao yeah lady I would be laughing too

Act like a kid, get treated like a kid.

The gall to say something is unprovoked and then immediately explain how you intentionally provoked it.
