On Monday morning, people woke up to a video on Twitter showing masked customers in a Staten Island grocery store screaming obscenities at a woman without a mask and shouting at her to “get out.” It’s an alarming video because it shows how quickly people can be turned into human weapons when fear powers them.

The video that followed it was even better, because it showed that a flubro had gotten into the store.

Staten Island is a rough tough place. It’s not a grassy suburb. It’s better thought of as an outgrowth of Brooklyn.

Looks like it’s perceived as being a political issue by more people in states with larger populations and larger hot spots early on. In at least some of the middle of the country, most people don’t care either way about other people wearing masks or not. They do care about keeping business activity going, though, and lack of customer demand is the only obstacle.

“Oh and by the way, in late September or early October, we’re going to see a “second wave” (there won’t actually be one, but suddenly no one will be dying of gunshot wounds, or car accidents, or heart attacks - they’ll all magically become COVID deaths), and they will use it to lock everything down again heading into the election. So enjoy your month or two of relative “freedom”, cause it ain’t gonna last.”

Was just telling the GF the same thing as the tv news media was proclaiming it with glee..

You are likely at more risk of dieing from an auto accident driving to and from the store,

I still wear them....they are protecting us from LARGE wet sneezes or coughs, but only if you take the mask off right away so it doesn't seep thru....

most of the younger people don't wear them.....I am high vulnerability so I will keep wearing it for a few more weeks....

I guess I wear to also put the salepeople at ease, like I am on their side, which I am....

You don’t need to visit a grocery store to eat?

Or do you have a wife who does that for you? Not everyone has your advantage. Maybe the solution is to have ‘mask grocery stores’ and ‘no mask needed ‘ grocery stores.

I’m surprised about the conservative reaction to this - because it’s usually white liberal ‘elites’ who don’t give a damn if others live or die (outside of their pet victim groups who prop up their power - they care about their violent thugs)...
