Yet another video of a store encounter featuring a maskless individual amid the novel coronavirus pandemic has gone viral. The latest one, apparently filmed more than one week ago at a Costco in Fort Myers, Florida, showed a man in a red “Running the World Since 1776” t-shirt screaming that he “felt threatened” as he approached the purported source of the threat.

The video was shared by film director Billy Corben and viewed more than five million times by people online.

But now you’ve acknowledged that masks keep your germs to yourself. Which is all they’re asking.

[Disambiguator]

It’s in Costco’s policy regarding medical conditions.

First paragraph.

It’s a policy of the owner of private property. You can’t really be that dumb, can you? Costco can damned well say ‘masks required’; if you don’t like it, don’t go there, if you go there, wear a mask.

[discostu]

Yeah. Oh well, somebody people are just sad.

[Yogafist]

I don’t have any germs to spread, and if you do, I am not afraid.

Everybody has germs to spread. And it’s not about fear. At this point it’s about not being an ass. Costco says mask. So you’ve got 2 adult choices: mask, or don’t go to costco. Making any other decision is childish.

It could be done under the idea of protecting the spirit of the First Amendment.

I'm so old, I remember when conservatives used to be upset that the Supreme Court found "penumbras" emanating from the Constitution.

So you dropped the “lawbreaking” part of your other post. Good for you.

Of course Costco can decree any POLICY they want. How does admitting that make me stupid?
And we quit Costco when the mask POLICY was instated. We only shop where masks aren’t required.

But you want to take freedom away. You want to take away somebody’s freedom to say “I don’t want to employ somebody like that”. Employment is a voluntary relationship. It is freedom of association. Covered in the 1st Amendment. Freedom of speech is not freedom from consequences. If the stuff you say makes people, including your boss, not want to associate with you anymore, the 1st Amendment that gives you the right to say that stuff ALSO gives them the right to say goodbye.

I do want to take away the rights of employers to fire employees Over social media posts. I make no pretense about that. What do you think the consequences of exercising your first amendment rights should be? Are there any limits? Is there no reason too petty for an employer to fire someone? You do realize if the SJW mob wants to get you on video they will, right? And then they will send it to your employer?This Type of intimidation is OK? I disagree. It has to stop. You take away the companies right to fire someone over social media, then you also take away their responsibility so they cannot be blamed or held liable. So they don’t have to worry about it. There I just let the cowardly companies off the hook. Happy?

Another thing I would point out about Florida Man here is that he adopts a threatening pose and approaches the camera as he complains about how he feels threatened.

It made me think of the times I have seen cops beating on a helpless suspect while shouting, "Stop resisting! Stop resisting!"

[discostu]

Great. You’ve now admitted your idea sucks. Conversation over.

The consequences should be what the people around you want them to be. If people don’t want to deal with you/ pay you because of what you said that IS THEIR RIGHT. Just as YOU have the right to dissociate from people you want to.

I’m not worried about intimidation cause I’m not a crybaby like the guy in this post. Nor a whiner. $%%hole. Or just generally abusive. I can be on social media WITH my boss, whom I disagree with on pretty much EVERYTHING and never run into any conflict. Not intimidated, just smart.

[RedStateRocker]

Pathetic, really.

And probably a genuine cuck, since people usually accuse others of what they do themselves, especially the denser ones.

forget COVID you almost need to wear a facemask to prevent social media DOXXING and firing...
