Another anti-mask wearing “Karen” has emerged, this time taunting a Woolworths worker and police after she refused to wear a mask.
In a series of videos posted by Inessa Zorkina on Facebook and Instagram on Thursday morning, she is seen arguing with a Woolworths worker for refusing to wear a mask.
It’s understood workers then called police after the altercation.
In other videos posted to her social media accounts showing when police arrived, she accuses them of “hurting her” and threatens to “sue” them after she refused to provide her details.
The footage shows Ms Zorkina arguing with police and telling them to chase the “real criminals”, when she is questioned by them about why she was not wearing a mask.
“I’m a free person, I’m not going to say anything,” she said.
“Law doesn’t say that I must wear a mask, I have freedom.”
The footage then shows Ms Zorkina being slapped with a $200 fine for failing to wear a mask, to which she says “I’m not going to pay.”
Ms Zorkina wrote on Facebook: “Idiots from Woolworths have called the police because I wasn’t wearing a mask.”
“Those f***ing dogs jump on me and wanted me for not wearing a muzzle,” she wrote.
“Police came in 10 minutes, but when it’s real crime it takes them for ages to come.”
The post has since been deleted.
The altercation comes after Leader revealed a large group of conspiracy theorists earlier this week who claim the coronavirus pandemic is one big fraud and take part in bizarre online rants to reject restrictions have been unmasked.
Coronavirus sceptic Eve Black had her car window smashed and was also arrested on Wednesday when she refused to give police her details.
It was the second clash with the force for Ms Black, who last week uploaded a confrontation with officers at a lockdown checkpoint.
The latest incident occurred in Princes Street, Carlton, about 1.55pm.
Victoria Police said: “She was asked to provide her name and address, which she refused to do.”
