Another day, another anti-masker caught on tape doing something incredibly stupid and inconsiderate.
This time it’s an unnamed California man and his shopping companion who refused to wear a mask at a Ralphs grocery store in Los Angeles.
When an employee told them they needed to wear a face covering per a mandate by the mayor and the governor, the man became irate.

According to CBSLA, multiple witnesses saw the man repeatedly ram his shopping cart into the woman while screaming at her.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
“I looked down there and there was this guy just yelling at someone, and then all of a sudden you see him, you know, take the handles of his cart and just try to ram this woman,” a witness recalled.
In an act of self-defense, the employee pepper-sprayed the man. He fell backwards, landing in a heap on the floor, where he burst into a fit of tears.
CBSLA reports:
The witness said the man continued screaming at the woman while he pushed his cart into her. She also said she saw another woman try to push the man out of the way. … Cell phone video taken moments after the incident unfolded at the Ralphs in the 200 block of South La Brea Avenue shows the man sitting on the ground, surrounded by milk.
Paramedics were called. They took the sniveling man to a nearby hospital as a precaution. It remains unclear whether he will face any criminal charges for attacking the store employee.
The morals of the story: 1. Don’t assault people with shopping carts, and 2. Just wear the damn mask.
Watch.

Arrest the one who got sprayed for assault, the other as an accessory, and give them both citations for violating the state order to wear masks in businesses.

What a garbage post. Why even bother reporting this if you’re not going to show the funny parts.

Somebody, please set this to “Yakety Sax.” Please.

Ha. I was thinking that was the Benny Hill song but yours is more accurate. Would love to see him get maced so we could apply the song.

@Chrisk, huh, it is the track used for the theme the the show.

They should give all store employees mace. It stopped this guy from harming himself and others. Clearly he went there looking for trouble.
jayceecook
Pretty sure it didn’t stop him from getting harmed but I get your point. I kind of agree. As long as employees get trained.
jayceecook
The funniest bit about this is the irony I guess. Not sure what you’d call it but dude is literally crying “over” spilled milk. Haha
Though I will say I can’t blame him for the crying. Don’t care how tough you are. Getting pepper sprayed in the face is no joke. It can melt contacts to your eyeballs for example. If you’ve ever done any sort of protesting with knowledgeable people they will give you the dos and donts when it comes to the dangers of it.
I don’t understand why mask wearing has become such a political or philosophical issue. Not just in the US but in others counties. Why not just go full stop and start complaining about having to wear clothes or shoes in public?

If you ram someone with a cart you deserve to get pepper sprayed. If you do not want to wear a mask, do curbside pickup and stay in your car. Arresting these people does nothing with the new no-bail laws, they just sign and are released.
msfrost
I wear a mask, because I have Asthma and Emphysema, if I catch Covid, the possibility, is that will kill me, The emphysema, is already killing me. I am still, going to try to keep alive!
Cam
No, if you ram someone with a cart that is assault. It’s cute how you are trying to claim they shouldn’t be arrested.
Nice try troll.

He should be arrested for NOT wearing a mask. Only idiots refuse to wear masks. They don’t give a f*ck about anyone. This is NOT a political thing, it’s a right TO NOT GET SICK OR DIE due to idiots in this world.

I hope and PRAY that people like that A SS HOLE, who have NO consideration for others, get the virus and die horrible, painful and agonizing deaths. The Darwin Effect at work, They totally disgust me with their Bull S hit!

The republicans continue to make wearing a mask a political issue. They finally choose to protect individual rights and covid-19 is the issue they choose. They dictate who I sleep with as against their values, they tell women what to do with their bodies and they tell citizens they can’t serve their country. These are all individual rights we have. They make wearing a mask an individual right during a pandemic of covid-19, a disease that can kill you? If they want it political, FINE. Meet us at the polls on November 3rd and we’ll give you political. This all could have been avoided had Trump shown any amount of leadership. He failed. GET OUT AND VOTE OR REGISTER EARLY AND VOTE BY MAIL. The GOP thinks we’re a bunch of screamers, FINE. Let’s show them how loud we can really scream.
hayesj
Now that’s entertainment.
ScottOnEarth
The U.S. is in serious free-fall. Hatred and anger on all sides, in every corner of this miserable country. That asshole got what he deserved but people wishing others to die from COVID is not helping.
hayesj
If you cannot wear a mask then stay home. People are dying and idiots are wandering around screaming about their rights. Ridiculous.

I’d like to hear the other side of the story. The man who was attacked by the manager appeared to be elderly. He had a companion. When I go to stores without a mask I inform them that I can not wear a mask for medical reasons. It could well be that the maskers are the intolerant ones who did the cart ramming. It could be the companion was a disability helper for the man viciously attacked by the manager with a weapon. My roommate, was attacked by a mean masker with her shopping cart because he thought there was a single line waiting for a cashier. He did not realize there was a second line because the other line was obscured by the tall shelves. The problem with maskers is they are emotionally disturbed by the lack of oxygen to their brains. My roommate apologized for his mistake and once the masker got outdoors she removed the mask and was able to breathe so she calmed down and saw my handicap placard and apologized for her strident behavior.
Honestly, masking is causing the wearers to become emotionally damaged and antisocial. Customers of public accommodations are protected by law from discrimination on the basis of race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, and disability and this transcends arbitrary and capricious decisions by political officials purporting to force measures which have no basis in science.

None of the health agencies specify any health conditions that would constitute a mask exemption—and some health professionals don’t believe these stated, unspecific exemptions for surgical masks or cloth face coverings are necessary. “There are no known medical conditions aside from a severe skin condition [like a very severe burn that needs medical attention] on your face that would prevent a person from wearing this type of mask,” David Kaufman, MD, pulmonologist and director of the medical ICU at Tisch Hospital, tells Health. “If you can wear a scarf to keep your face warm in the winter, you can wear a mask to prevent the spread of disease.”
Invader7
Quit defending people who BREAK the law, you twit ! He deserved to get pepper sprayed.
Trekbike
Where in the hell did you get your disability degree…at Walmart! First, sexual orientation is not listed as a disability on any government list. You’re as stupid as trump. I was a paramedic in the Navy and I’ve never heard of a medical condition that would prevent you from wearing a mask. Obviously, you’re a Trumper and a loser. You deserve to get COVID.
Contrarius
Just wear the damned mask!
And if you are truly disabled enough that you can’t wear a mask, then use the curbside pickup! I myself haven’t even been inside a grocery store since this whole Covid thing started — curbside pickup is great!
Nobody rises up in righteous indignation when they see “No shirt, no shoes, no service”. And few people these days resist wearing seatbelts. Wearing a mask is not gonna kill you — but NOT wearing it might kill someone else. Wear the mask!
BobP
Dude, stop it. There are no known medical conditions aside from a severe skin condition [like a very severe burn that needs medical attention] on your face that would prevent a person from wearing a mask. If you can wear a scarf to keep your face warm in the winter, you can wear a mask to prevent the spread of disease. You don’t wear one because you don’t want to. Boo hoo. It’s 20 minutes inside a store. Get over it. Or order delivery. Stop bitching about your “rights” (again….complete fallacy that you think this impinges on any sort of constitutional right) and think about other people for once.
batesmotel
I love those that are judging and criticizing people that genuinely have medical issues that make it difficult to wear a mask. These grindr hacks suddenly have the market cornered on what an individual is suffering with health wise. Just sit back down and slap some duct tape on your mouth.
Cam
New Troll screename alert.
You said “When I go to stores without a mask I inform them that I can not wear a mask for medical reasons”
Except that is a lie. There is no medical exemption, and your story is false. The man rammed his cart into the store manager. But it’s funny you left that part out.
davidkit
Businesses also have the right to refuse service to anyone. If you truly have some sort of “medical condition” preventing you from wearing a mask then stay home! You and the other trump-sheep do not have the right to stupidly, ignorantly get other people sick.
ShiningSex
We should all congratulate her for what she did. I would have done it too. Too many idiots not wearing masks stating about their “rights” but know what that actual means. Too many stupid people.
Inspector 57
Yup.
I get so discouraged. I’ve come to believe that “stupid” is a part of the human condition that is never going to go away.
sillyme
Better yet everyone,,, if they don’t want to wear a mask then get the Virus then deny them medical coverage anywhere for it and say “well you chose not to wear a mask because you thought yourself privileged so now deal with the burden of choices.” then let them cope with their arrogance in full context of decision making.

This is the stuff that low paid frontline employees have to go through along with commercial airline Flight Crews.Its a mess people have just lost their minds.I can only say VOTE VOTE VOTE in November

I think it’s safe to say that a lot of these anti-maskers have some mental issues going on.

Got what he deserved. Unfortunately his friend didn’t get the same.

So, shouldn’t Queerty be denouncing anyone who refuses to have disease-safe sex: as in no fluids in or on the body (because that is how diseases are spread)?
@dusyk
Wearing masks don’t kill you, you freaking idiots!
Lobeskc
Choices come with consequences. Period!
batesmotel
Everyone is supposed to be wearing a mask when you go into a store. That store can enforce whatever they choose just like ‘no shoes, no shirt, no service’. At the same time it’s not against the law to not wear a mask despite what sniveling brats think. The guy that rammed the cart is at fault, but so is the one that pepper sprayed. The pepper-sprayer should be fined though. That person wasn’t being attacked. And you would’ve said the same thing if the roles were reversed.
GayEGO
How stupid of the guy not wearing a mask, he deserved to be pepper-sprayed!
davidkit
Amazing how selfish and uncaring people can be in this country. It’s no wonder the rest of the world either hates us for it and/or laughs at the stupidity so many people in this country daily and proudly exhibit. Give employees bear spray and tasers!
