I'm surprised they didn't just tell him to leave, call the cops, and then wait silently and passively until he either left or the cops showed up and let them escort the asshole out. Trying to talk to him was a waste of time and only encouraged him to stay and have the last word. It also allowed additional risk of him infecting the staff with his yelling and spitting.

I deal with this kind of thing daily in my town. I only go to the store once a week and always by myself, masked, and I almost always get cussed out by someone because I'm usually the only one in the store apart from the employees that's wearing a mask. Our town voted down mask mandates twice and has now canceled the third meeting because of anti-mask protesters.

I pity you living in a place that is even more Bible Belt than my town.

It's a pity that Darwinian thinning of the herd isn't taking care of the stupidity in your town.

If only it would affect the people refusing to wear them. Most of our cases are from the schools and nursing homes.

Where I live just about all businesses are requiring masks for customers, even tho my Repub governor won't order masks in public or allow local governments to require them. The only stores I've seen that don't require them for customers are grocery stores, probably because they are too chickenshit to confront customers and deal with the hassles. It's possible they are afraid of losing customers over it, but some customers are worth losing if they endanger the healthy of your employees and other customers. And the grocery stores probably know that most customers would support a mask requirement. If all the grocery stores required them, then the customer would have to suck it up and comply or else order their groceries for pickup or delivery. Too fucking bad if they refuse to mask up and have to go those routes.

@linxminx I feel the same, Minx, and it is all very frightening. The big problem here is that it is exactly what Donald Trump wants you to feel. My insurance lady is a Trumper and she claims we do not know what to believe today. I find this funny because I had no problems until our last presidential election.

Wow, what a nut case. I wonder if police were called.

A raving lunatic. He should have been arrested.

Your post could fit in other categories like silly/random or mental health one.

I prefer the posts under "silly, random and fun" to actually be a little fun I didn't think this qualified.

@snytiger6 I guess it's all about your point of view.

I have a Satanic face mask. I can't wear it?

That man has severe anger management issues, and he is in urgent need of professional psychiatric help.

He can’t be helped.

@SeaRay215ex I fear that you are correct.

@SeaRay215ex He could be put on a ward and given forced help. I suspect from his clothing and the number of gold chains he's wearing that he's never quite at 'normal baseline'. This though - was something that required intervention. (Police and a Psych team).
Something is seriously wrong with that dude.

@RavenCT That “Forced Help” is probably drugging him up either by needle or oral medication. And when the medication wears off? Well we all know. These people are no different than many of the worst convicted Felons IMO.

@RavenCT A christian wearing jewelry seem just wrong.

Get him on court ordered anti-psychotics and after a while he'll be more rational. Once discharged though all bets are off because there is very poor follow up.

@SeaRay215ex The problem is that there are just a few folks who are so deeply paranoid/out of touch with reality and angry without medication that they endanger others when they aren't medicated.

I am all about patients have control over what they put in their bodies.
But if they become dangerous to others without meds. they need a long term solution where they aren't a risk to the general populace that's humane.

We lost most of the locked hospitals when they released all the patients back in the day - and that was a good thing. Many of the folks there didn't belong in long term locked care.

But there are some who actually do - and some who even belong in a prison type setting where they can be utterly controlled due to malicious thoughts and behaviors.

Those are the folks that used to keep me up at night when we had to send them home. (They'd be stable - but we knew what would happen again.). And even as professionals we had zero recourse.

Wouldn't surpise me if he comes back with some anti-mask friends.

Ya know I've never claimed they were smart. Ive done the opposite..... repeatedly lol

He certainly was angry. Probably stabbed his toe when he got out of bed in the morning and tried to take it out on everyone he met that day.

An on his tombstone we can write "Who is the fool now". It is amazing (not) how many our there during a global pandemic still believe it is all a hoax and conspiracy.

Speaking of satanic masks, my ex-husband was an art teacher. He had students do molds of their faces. After the molds hardened, the kids painted them.

Christian parents complained to the school principal, calling the children's masks "satanic." Terry was forbidden to make masks as an art project.

That's a pseudo-Christian thing I've never heard of before.

It really stinks that we have to depend on corporate America to start implementing mask restrictions because our Repub governors and prez are not willing to do it.
