There were also the cases of people threatening store employees in Oklahoma.

It’s The Surgeon General’s job.
That’s why you have The Surgeon General’s warnings on things..like cigarette packs. That publication of yours doesn’t really carry a whole lot of weight.

And another thing, Korea never really closed their economy. They didn't have too. The population and government put plans and practices in place learned during the SARS outbreak.

The wearing of masks along with other measures by the general public undoubtedly contributed greatly to lessen the burden on the government to do tracing and testing.

As of yesterday, 250 have died from the coronavirus in Korea. By tonight or certainly tomorrow night, according to worldofmeters.info, the US will top 70,000 deaths. Same data source for both Korean numbers and US numbers.

It's just like Forrest said, "stupid is as stupid does".

I realize what you meant. It was more of a joke then anything else. But the statement did not apply for what occurred by the article account, so it was really irrelevant to the article as no law abiding gun owner would commit such an act in the first place. In other words it was completely out of context to what was being reported.

Yes prayers up for this poor man and his family.

Anger should rightly be directed at idiot politicians. Not at clerks and security guards who are just trying to earn an honest buck.

As a former Flint area resident I must say sadly that I’m not surprised.

And while there has been a lot of anger towards masks cast on this site, I seriously hope no Freeper would go so far as to commit murder.

How do you know it's not the pro-maskers who are murdering the anti-maskers Danny?

Since underlying conditions have an impact on death rates, I just did a quick search and found out 36.5% of US adults are obese, while only 4% of South Korean adults are obese. Coincidence?

What’s the larger story here? Take away the race angle and you have a comparison to an Auschwitz guard enforcing an immoral or illegal order. The US government ruled against the guard. So to be legally consistent, the guard was in the wrong to enforce the order. The Law is a double-edged sword, it cuts both ways.

Geezus people!!! Get a freaking grip. You can disagree over socialist actions without killing the guy!! Good, freaking, grief!!! This nation has lost its mind. This lock down has driven people to blow up and go crazy. It is only going to get worse if people are not allowed to get on with their lives.

We went to Hobby Lobby this morning and my wife approached a man, I think a manager or asst. mgr. and attempted to ask him where something was in the store. We had on the stupid masks. She must have been three or four feet from the guy and his arm suddenly shot out and he said loudly, "stay six feet!!" My wife jumped back like she was shot. Surprised the hell out of her. I told him to chill out, she wasn't going to breath on him! People are going crazy with this crap. I will not be surprised if we have to wear these stupid masks and stay six feet from everyone even when the country up again. Nothing these communist, One Worlders, socialists, A-holes are going to do will surprise me. They are in it for CONTROL!! Total control is their goal. They love this crap. They are jumping up and down over what they have accomplished. AMERICA AND THE WORLD WILL JUMP WHEN THEY SAY JUMP AND DO EVERY FREAKING THEY SAY DO!!! They have won this round. Do we allow them to keep winning them? Getting rid of Trump is now their agenda through this crap. BLAME TRUMP - he is at fault for all these deaths!!!

Sorry, I’m not into cowardly violent Antifa like tactics being used against someone being defended by Conservatives.’

well, aren’t you quite the card; it was a drunken kid, acting just like drunken kids always act; Antifa, ha ha ha...

‘Keep justifying Assault and Battery my FRiend,...’

chuckling at an overweight, overbearing cop who ends up in a puddle of water is not justifying Assault and Battery...

‘I could ask if you are you siding with the Scum who murdered the Security Guard now, but I would never do that.’

except you just did, didn’t you...?

so let’s recap, shall we...? I have a humorous reaction over a dumpy cop flaunting his self importance who gets pushed into some water by a drunken kid, and you extrapolate from that I am in favor of another cop getting killed in cold blood...let me guess, you didn’t make your high school debating team, am I right...?

“Could?”

It could stop it. Or...it could not!!!

That’s a lot of room for error, IMHO! :-)
