What a lunatic.

  • Assaults someone offering him a mask

  • Gets escorted out and then tries to run over the staff

  • Hits a truck fleeing the scene up-ending it

  • Gets into a police pursuit, refuses to pull-over

  • Gets into a gun battle after returning home

I didn't get all that from the article.

I guess I'm gonna finally have to wear a mask shopping now. /s Never.

Went to the grocer today. The creepiest thing is that most people there are now wearing masks when it use to be closer to 30-40%. Only saw 3 others not wearing them today. The death rate is way down, but somehow the media has everyone shitting their pants. Incredibly sad. It kills me to see everyone so terrified over what presently amounts to a statistical anomaly.

I agree, but the positive test rate is also peaking. But that might be due to number of tests, rather than an actual increase in disease.

I'm just kind of waiting for this thing to blow over... I'm not sure what the end game is here because this disease isn't going away any more than the cold or the flu is...

You can just say you're allergic to masks instead of causing a scene. Lying is better than lashing out at everyone and getting shot at by the cops

I've pretended to wear the mask at the door and taken it off in store. I'm gonna keep doing that until I can't.

Though I've also considered intentionally making a fun scene by wearing a towel around my head and another like a diaper - or some other hillarity.

I think you should do the latter anyway, they also just say "face covering" and don't specify what that covers. I suppose if you could cover your mouth and nose with a maxi pad they shouldn't give a fuck.

Halliburton? I guarantee there’s been zero cases of covid in Halliburton.

The image is misleading. If the gun battle happened after the grocery store at the home of the guy, why the caution tape at the grocery store?
