New York City anti-vaccine mandate protesters storm mall food court: 'My body, my choice'
- 3 years ago
Demonstrators assembled at a Staten Island food court Saturday to protest New York City’s mandate requiring residents to show proof of vaccination to dine at restaurants.
Video shot by freelance journalist Oliya Scootercaster shows a diverse crowd of maskless people packed inside a food court at Staten Island Mall.
Many can be seen wearing Trump paraphernalia. One man waves an American flag while the crowd chants, "U-S-A! U-S-A!"
"Everybody, go eat! That is what we’re here to do!" shouts one of the protesters.
Once seated in the dining area, the crowd chants, "F--- Joe Biden!" and "My body! My choice!"
"We shouldn't be carrying papers and showing papers because we live in America. We're the land of the free," a female demonstrator told Scootercaster in an interview.
"I don't like experiments," an American flag waver told Scootercaster. "Whatever happened to ‘my body, my choice?’"
