Shoppers in an Anchorage, Alaska Wal-Mart got an unplanned live show over the weekend. As employees asked a maskless shopper to leave the store, he began to rage and scream in religious mania.
“Get back on your highway to Hell and get out of a godly man’s face,” the man screams in the video. For the record, nobody was even standing close to him at the time.
“By your very blind ignorance, you don’t have the ability to even come up with your own f*cking ideas,” the man says, flipping the middle finger. Four employees thank him for his words, and ask him to exit again. “I believe when I have sinned…” the man stops short before demanding to see a manager.
“You have four managers here,” one of the employees says, again, telling the man to leave. He doesn’t comply, instead, continuing to scream about the store taking away his rights.

“Jesus Christ,” the man filming the video says in disbelief.
“Are you refusing my service? Why don’t you say we refuse your service,” the man screams. “I choose to yell and you cannot stop me. Please, return to your service of Satan and your ignorant belief in your rights. I have the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. My happiness is best served by standing in your face and saying you’re a fool and wrong and have no authority over me.”
At that point, things start to get really tense. The man steps right in front of one of the female employees and begins yelling in her face. Nearby witnesses can be heard screaming “Don’t touch her” in the background.
To her credit, the female employee just folds her arms, unbowed. “Have a good day, sir,” she repeats over and over. The ranting man then begins to yell in the face of the witness recording video, before finally exiting.
In a statement to McClatchy News, Wal-Mart commented on the situation, saying: “It’s unfortunate that this individual chose to express their displeasure in such an inappropriate manner, but we’re proud our associates displayed patience and professionalism as they navigated this challenging situation.”
Having seen the full video, we have to wonder: at what point did wearing a mask somehow become a religious issue?

Religion and Trumpism brings them out like flies to shit. I used to belong to a church and believe me this a common type.
Mister P
He believes in an historically inaccurate 2000 year old book and a magician in the sky and tells them they have no original ideas?

I believe a comment like “you’re not even human, an animal” leaves the speaker open to a comment of similar maturity level, such as “I know you are, but what am I?” That or “I’m rubber and you’re glue— what you say bounces off me and sticks to you!” Believe me. It’s the only language four year olds understand.

TRUMP GARBAGE.

I’ve read of so many of these incidents especially happening at Walmart. With all the freaking money Walmart has, why don’t they hire some REAL security personnel to handle these assholes!?!? Post very clear notices that this kind of behavior will result in physical removal from the store if refusal to exit when asked.

The U.S. is coming completely unglued. This is all headed to catastrophe. Seriously, there are countless other lunatics like this loser lurking everywhere. The fake president has given license to these nut jobs, empowering them to attack anyone and everyone with whom they disagree.

Whether anyone wants to believe it or not, our current President is not fake. He is in fact real and was voted in like any other President has been. There has been no evidence to the contrary. We may not like that fact, but that doesn’t mean it’s not a fact. That milk is what is known as having been spilled. Nothing can be done about it or the past 4 years. We can only move forward towards the future and learn from our past.

“You aren’t even a human, you’re only an animal”
I thought religious extremists didn’t believe in any form of evolutionary theory? (Rolls eyes)

why do people without masks even get further than the entrance? they should have guards standing there not allowing in anyone without a mask.
