A Carlisle man is facing charges after police say he deliberately coughed near a senior citizen who was wearing a medical face mask in a Cumberland County grocery store on Friday.

According to the North Middleton Township Police Department, Daniel Tabussi, 57, is now facing charges of terroristic threats, simple assault by physical menace, disorderly conduct and harassment.

Police say the incident occurred Friday at the Karns grocery store on the 1700 block of Spring Road. An elderly man, recovering from pneumonia and wearing gloves and a face mask due to the increased coronavirus risk to older people, was shopping during the senior-only hours.

Tabussi approached him and made coughing sounds while smiling and laughing, police say.

Tabussi also mocked the older man for wearing a mask and, more than once, told him he has the coronavirus, police say.

He should be sentenced to cleaning port-a-pots at the Pennsylvania Interstate rest stops.

It would have been pretty funny if she pulled out a pistol and shot him in self defense.

I hate it too...but sometimes slow connections can be your friend.

Usually I can hit the “x”/stop loading page before the peep show screen descends.

I encountered about five of these weirdos on my drive to work this AM in San Antonio

Pickup trucks doing chase at another 100 MPH. Then some young woman with all kinds of crap hangin from the rear-view doing about 90 swirling, oblivious to the world hateful

And more

Very weird

Zombie apocalypse people

Had I been there, I would have punched him in the face, and made sure to wash my hands for 20 seconds afterwards.

In the 80s during the AIDS epidemic there was an incident where a couple of NYPD cops were spat upon by someone they were arresting. The suspect yelled that he had AIDS while he spat on them and said they’re gonna die. On top of what they arrested him for he was also convicted of attempted murder. Even though AIDS doesn’t get transmitted by spitting the court deemed this dumbass INTENDED to kill the cops in this manner.

I usually have the same thought.

However, I am of two minds about this.

Imagine if your boss said he wants you to continue to work every day, but he isn't going to pay you anymore.

Cleaning porta-pots and public toilets is an adequate punishment.

I would think that it would be an affirmative defense if an elderly person (or non-elderly with pre existing conditions) shot and killed someone intentionally coughing on them.

"I feared for my life" would be REAL.
