Mask enforcers don't get paid enough.
Stop blaming the government for the handling of this virus. Entitled attitudes rampant in America are what's spreading the virus.
Because striking someone and throwing a tirade is so much better than just wearing a mask.

The other day I saw a man, middle aged appx. ,my age-ish, in the Walmart wearing a thong as a mask. I didn't wonder if he was a 'Trumper', I didn't even consider it but I did wonder why no one who loved him didn't stop him from looking like a female body part (he had a beard... it was um.. an interesting sight.
Now it's his right, his mouth was covered as was a portion of one nostril (getting the mental image yet?), but all I could think was "what gain from this Sir?" And then immediately as I walked down the next aisle, I starting to hope and pray that he bought them brand new to make his statement with.
I get not wanting to wear a mask, I hate it too. But I do it because I'm a bigger fan of life than I am of death and it's a risk I will not take for myself and for those I love, like and even dislike.

I will never understand this need to have tantrums and even assault people over the mask rule. I read a story last night about a couple who attacked a teenage employee at a business for asking them to put on a mask. He has to have surgery on jaw, I believe, because of what they did. I'm starting to think the legal consequence in an assault over masks needs to be much more severe.

Oh wow! I really hope that couple was arrested for that assault. People really need to know they cant get violent just because they dont like a rule. And if stiffer penalties is what it takes then I'm all for it.wildflowers25 wrote: ↑Thu Aug 13, 2020 10:53 am I will never understand this need to have tantrums and even assault people over the mask rule.

Because Trump called it a hoax, didn’t wear a mask at first and when you see these people, they wear MAGA hats.

She didn't have a MAGA hat nor did she say anything about Trump. Only thing I noticed is that she appeared to be traveling in her underwear.hotspice58 wrote: ↑Thu Aug 13, 2020 11:21 am Because Trump called it a hoax, didn’t wear a mask at first and when you see these people, they wear MAGA hats.

Because it's the idiot Trumpers who are refusing to wear masks.Valentina327 wrote: ↑Thu Aug 13, 2020 1:15 amWhat leads you to believe she's a "Trumper"?

No, it's not. It's people that can read and understand science and do their own research. It's people where it's medically not advisable to restrict their oxygen intake.pinkbutterfly66 wrote: ↑Thu Aug 13, 2020 1:11 pmBecause it's the idiot Trumpers who are refusing to wear masks.Valentina327 wrote: ↑Thu Aug 13, 2020 1:15 amWhat leads you to believe she's a "Trumper"?

It has zero to do with Trump. He came out weeks ago telling people to wear masks. He wore a mask at Walter Reed. He's put pictures of it up. Did you miss that? So, I'm not clear on your theory. If they follow Trump, they'd be all about masks the last several weeks.
