Seattle Ace Hardware fight over masks gets physical

Putting the hard in hardware, the top-notch customer service was a home run.

A Seattle man claims he was attacked by a baseball bat-wielding clerk at an Ace Hardware location in an altercation that stemmed from his friend’s refusal to wear a coronavirus mask in the store.

Bobby Dixon, the young man seen in viral video of the altercation, told Jason Rantz of KTTH Radio Seattle Tuesday that he went into the store masked, but his friend declined to put one on.

"They pretty much told him, ‘put a mask on or get out,’" he said. "When he was walking out the door the dude at the counter started running his mouth, being pretty vulgar, and so my buddy started cussing."

The two went on jawing each other until Dixon said he no longer had a desire to shop there.

"At that point they started cussing at me," he said. "They were just attacking us for no reason pretty much, for not having a mask. He was complying with them when they said if you’re not wearing a mask you gotta get out."

After stepping out, Dixon said he turned around to try and get the employee’s name to report him to the manager.

"That’s when I was met with the baseball bat," he told Rantz. "I’m lucky he didn’t hit me or swing with it, you know, I was able to rip it out of his hands."

The video begins at that point – showing a blonde-haired man holding a baseball bat inside the entranceway alongside another man in an Ace shirt and a pulled-down mask.

Kids taking a break from their night time pantyfa activities.

Yes, they look like they’re consumers of lots of soy products.

Looks to me like this is no different than putting a gun in your face. Or a knike.

Felony?

Also making false statements to the police...

According to the police report, the store employee also said he was attacked by both men. In the video, the employee is only seen fighting with Dixon.

If you search for customers that shoot cashiers in mask disputes, it’s hard to fault them for carrying bats. I’m sure they’d rather have guns, but aren’t allowed. That said, get non-compliant customers out the door. Not hanging around getting madder.

Leftist democrats demand others be controlled by force and if you do not comply, they demand you be murdered

SOP for the left.

Inside every democrat is a control freak Karen.
