Two Brothers Arrested For Attacking Target Security Guard And Breaking His Arm After Being Told They Need To Wear Masks

Two men were arrested in Van Nuys, California for assaulting a Target security guard.

The guard confronted them over their refusal to wear face masks.


The Los Angeles Police Department released surveillance footage which shows two maskless brothers, Phillip Hamilton, 31, and Paul Hamilton, 29, being escorted out of the store by a pair of security guards.

Two Suspects Arrested for Assaulting a Security Guard NR20098rcyoutu.be

One of them swings around and attacks the guard.

According to LAPD spokesperson Drake Madison:

"As they approached the exit, one of the suspects suddenly and without provocation turned and punched the store employee, causing him and the suspect to fall to the floor."

The other brother then also began to fight with the second guard, intensifying the chaotic scene.

The brothers were being removed from the store for refusing to wear face masks.

The store was following recommendations requiring masks inside all Los Angeles establishments since April.

One of the security guards is now recovering from a broken arm sustained during the fight.

The two brothers were arrested and charged with "felony battery."

Both were released from custody on May 5.

A statement from Target about the "unfortunate altercation" read:

"We're grateful for the support of local police and we'll provide any information that can be helpful to their investigation."



If you're going out in public, please wear a mask to protect yourself and others. If you have a moral objection with wearing a mask, breaking someone's arm is never the answer.

Stay home or shop elsewhere.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
