Dunkin Donuts announced Thursday that it will require all guests to wear masks in its stores.
The announcement came a few days after Trump-loving, gay-hating pastor Greg Locke posted a video rant on social media in which he said he had threatened to knock a Dunkin Donuts employees teeth down his throat. Its unclear whether the mask requirement is related to Lockes 13-minute rant, which has racked up nearly 6 million views on Facebook. According to Locke, the employee whom he referred to as Nazi Skippy asked him to wear a mask the next time hes in the store. After Locke pushed open the door with his foot on the way out, the employee falsely accused him of trying to break out the glass, he said in the video.
I said, If you call me a liar one more time, Im going to take these work boots and Im going to kick your teeth down your throat,' Locke said in his rant, confessing to a possible crime.
Earlier in the video, Locke said that after the employee initially asked him to wear a mask, I was doing everything I could, spiritually, not to come over the counter, and still be a pastor in public, because Im sure there are cameras everywhere, because people recognize me all over the place.
Locke, a staunch anti-masker and full-fledged COVID-19 denier, said in another video this week that he will go to jail before halting services at Global Vision Bible Church in Mount Juliet, Tennessee, due to the coronavirus pandemic, which he calls a hoax. In his video about the Dunkin Donuts incident, he said hes also willing to go to jail over mask requirements.

(3,282 posts)he didn't say any of the stuff he claimed to.
He got told to put a mask on an he did. If he'd actually said anything to the people in the store he'd have made sure to get it on video so he could try to got viral with it. Truth is he's a candy ass little man who like to tell everyone how much of a badass he is as he sits alone in his car where nobody can call him out on his bullshit.
Google needs to start demonetizing any videos on YouTube that are spreading false Covid-19 information.

(3,282 posts)but I don't think he ever actually said what store it was or what town he was even in. He made reference to being "out of town visiting the kids." Makes me think he is purposefully hiding that, so that nobody can check him on it. If he's said it was his local one it would be easy to pick out and find out if it happened or not.
If he's actually been told to put it on and spoke his mind about not wanting to, he wouldn't be that raged up in the video. That's all just pent up anger at his own impotence.

The RW, the white nationalists, and the batshit cray religious lunatics will never 'settle down' and act 'normal'. Even if they are not in political power at a national level, they will power project from the hard Red States and will start an IRA-type series of Troubles, including terror attacks both large and small.

(14,861 posts)The word "Christian" does not mean "good and decent person with a conscience". The opposite is often true. The majority of Christian voters cast their ballots for Trump in 2016.
