That's why I find this and the Karen trend disturbing. People are doing this ish for fun. Fun? The guy wasn't wearing a mask and has zero regard for the lives of others.

So refusing the wear a mask is a "gotcha" moment now, huh? No wonder we're not going to get out of this pandemic any time soon.
July 8, 20205 yr 8 minutes ago, Kz! said: If he was being followed, filmed, and harassed prior to the incident, I think it's kind of **** that people formed a virtual lynch mob to get him doxxed and fired. Seriously? If people want somebody to put on a mask, its because they're concerned for their own safety. They're not going to follow him around and harass him while he's not wearing a mask. People go in the other direction in that situation. They get away from him. And it takes seconds to grab your phone and hit record. Stop trying to imagine an acceptable excuse for this idiot.

I doubt he's referring to mask use there. I think he's referring to brief interactions devoid of context leading to ruined lives as the "gotcha" moments.

This is trying to get people to wear masks, so, you know, the pandemic is slowed here. The fact that you want to hold a vigil for this guy while ignoring the 130k dead Americans is ridiculous.

If you're really uncomfortable, grab a manager or store employee! Apparently, you and many others believe that was his initial reaction, and that's OK. I, personally, would be surprised if it was. That's kind of the thing, we don't know. Neither does the internet, but that didn't stop them from getting this dude fired.

Ahh CVON.
July 8, 20205 yr i have no doubt there are some social media idiots who go out & try to bait karens into acting all karen. but do i think they make up a large % of the vids we keep seeing? hellz no. to assume that this lunatic was baited into acting a fool is going out of your way to defend his ridiculous actions.

I didn't know if you were in the vigil stage of grief yet. And I never said you didn't care, I said you're ignoring the fact that we're in a pandemic and a 130k have died. The only way to slow the spread is for people to wear masks. If social shaming/exposing people gets some of these misguided right wing media fans to start doing it, then this guy losing his job was well worth it.
July 8, 20205 yr Kz, you choose odd things to defend for pages like this Costco weirdo or the dog leash Karen. And then you post legitimate violence being done by the left that gets completely ignored (or get a "whatabout Trump" response). Maybe quit defending the weirdos and letting yourself be the butt of the joke?

Umm... you need to re-read. You're saying these people may have followed this guy around. Harrassed him. I'm saying No, that's not what happens. Which means yes, this was clearly his initial reaction and your attempts to give him the benefit of the doubt are unfounded.

Not wearing masks isn't exclusive to any political affiliation, and while I do support mask use, I don't support harassing strangers in public. We'll just never see eye to eye there. 1 minute ago, NOTW said: Kz, you choose odd things to defend for pages like this Costco weirdo or the dog leash Karen.

It clearly begins and ends with his refusal to wear a mask so yes, that is the catalyst to the "gotcha" moment and these selfish people absolutely deserve consequences.

That's great, I think we disagree about what likely preceded the video, and that's OK. You seem sure of what happened, but I concede that I don't know. 1 minute ago, Paul852 said: It clearly begins and ends with his refusal to wear a mask so yes, that is the catalyst to the "gotcha" moment and these selfish people absolutely deserve consequences. That's certainly one opinion. I don't agree that lives should be ruined over mask use, but I see where you're coming from.

We'll just never see eye to eye there. I get why you wouldn't want the right to own that one, but obviously it's a right wing cause. Are there liberals not wearing masks? I'm sure there are, but there's no liberal movement against it. Only Republicans are unpatriotic enough for that nonsense.
