did what us mere mortals might have done, pushed her six feet away or just decked her, she would have immediately become the bad guy in this.

I'm sure someone has studied how the public judges people in various situations.

I hate that too.

Retaliation is the “crime”...if someone shoves you...you shove back, you’re wrong...someone aggressively yells at you, you protect yourself you’re wrong.

But if you have a gun and someone threatens you and you fire...

for a second and breathed into the woman's face. I wonder what her reaction would have been then.

She was intentionally pushing buttons to get a physical reaction. Its something I've seen men do a lot. Not as common with women, but it does happen.

in her face while explaining that I had been wearing my mask because I had been diagnosed positive, but since she was offended by masked people and distancing, I would gladly go along with her wishes.

You beat me to it! That was my first reaction, but you said it much better.

Pull out a wet handkerchief and wipe my brow.

document and hand it to the person who doesn't want to do what is safe.

You have to be able to see them from a distance before they catch up to you!

that's not hyperbole.

She’s probably spit yelled at many people by now.

Swear out a complaint against her.

give her a time out in a jail cell.

Personally I think everyone of those bullies and ignoramuses who won't wear a mask and practice other safety precautions should be fined a good amount just like those who drive around vehicles that don't pass safety standards, drive too fast, especially in construction zones, etc.

Heck, if they test positive and still go out and/or hang out with kids or those who are deemed a high risk with one charge them with assault, reckless endangerment, endangering the welfare of a child or such.

These spoiled entitled 'adults' are behaving worse than a 5 yr old pitching a hissy fit in a Walmart aisle because 'mom' says they can't have that big box of fireworks after that sales guy, COVID45, said they could.

Bullies tend to run with other bullies. This makes me sick. Whose Constitutional rights are being taken away in this instance. I see an ignorant POS who is taking away the reporter's right to LIFE, LIBERTY (to wear a mask), and PERSUIT OF HAPPINESS (to remain disease free). At least she wasn't openly carrying a gun (that I could see).

It took him a whole week.

When Pence pointed hour how long it took, Trump replied, “I’m a genius! No one does puzzles better than me! It only took me a week! On the box, it says ‘3 to 5 years’!”

Thanks for the laugh!

If you cough on food you committed crime
What’s different here?

There freedom ends when it interferes with mine.

The only difference here, and it makes the situation worse, is that it's deliberately aimed at an individual instead of leaving the exposure to chance. People who do this should be arrested and charged.

Have her arse arrested.

If anyone asks, she threatened me with assault. I bet that little creep would think twice next time.

She’s white.

I don't care what color the person is who threatens me like that. Do I need to stick around? No.

But the law would see that differently IMO, it disgusts even me that this what I think would happen!

I could not possibly agree more about it being a legitimate response, but banning people protesting with guns at state legislatures in session would be a legitimate response too, but that is apparently not considered.

Covidiots do not seem to share one brain cell between them all.

Verbal assault and physical intimidation are illegal in most states. It shouldn’t be a problem to honor your request to go away and leave you alone.

Not everybody in my community wears a mask but many do. And I have never faced any harassment for wearing a mask.

I feel threatened.... But I don't carry a gun but I do have pepper spray and mace she would have gotten sprayed.

coming closer

It's just self defense

got in my c ar, locked the doors, and driven away.

In my liberal neighborhood near a wild park people are jogging and walking by all day long with no masks. They evidently are very special and privileged and outdoorsy and athletic, so no problem.
I do not want to die so they can let their dogs poop. I am trapped in the house or the back yard.

Think of the many homeless people who have nowhere to go and nowhere to hide from this virus.

pivot it to limbaugh and they will get defensive

which essentially said:

They expect our kids to endure mass school shootings, but can't possibly wear a face make in public.

I've tried to find the exact thing, and can't, but this is pretty close.

He said "am i BOTHERING YOU." I just gave him a look of disgust and went into the backroom. I felt sorry for the cashiers who couldn't do that. I spent my last two weeks at work swerving course to avoid interacting with the few screwballs who couldn't live without going to a thrift store

And pathetic
