"Force A Shot On Us? We Force A Shot On You!' Tennessee Store Sign Warns
Newsweak ^ | 9/23/21 | Jack Beresford

A sign appearing to threaten violence on anyone attempting to enforce a vaccine mandate has been spotted in Tennessee.

The anti-vaccination message was highlighted by local news source The Tennessee Holler, which shared a video to Twitter showcasing the digital display. It starts by showing a picture of a hand holding a syringe alongside a message stating: "Force a shot on us?"

The image then switches to that of a gun being pointed directly at the viewer, accompanied by the caption: "We force a shot on you!" It then changes again, this time to a message written in yellow text against a black background that reads: "The final COVID variant Communism."
According to the Tennessee Holler, the warning is on display outside the Lewis Country Store on Old Hickory Boulevard in Nashville.

At the time of writing, the video showcasing the sign had been viewed more than 382,000 times on Twitter, garnering over 1,200 retweets and 2,300 likes.

The responses to the video on Twitter have been negative with one user, danielblack108, commenting "I hate living here" in response to the post. Another, lcatboonies, said the people behind the sign "deserve a visit from the FBI" while graphaks joked that the message must be "great for tourism." Cruzinmrs, meanwhile, asked: "Do they think they are the only people with guns? Because they're not." However, the most vitriolic responses have come on Yelp, where critics flooded the store's page with one-star reviews condemning the sign.

"Maybe not a good idea to threaten customers or anyone in general if you're trying to run a business," Chuck P. commented. "Hope everyone stays far away from this "establishment". If COVID doesn't kill you then I'm sure the owner will."

Video at link. As usual most of the negative yelps are from people who wouldn't patronize this store to begin with. Just a bunch of gun grabbing hoplophobics who would believe that quack Fauxchi if he said eating your own đź’© will give you 100% immunity.

One would think that forcing someone to be injected with something against their will would be an act of violence.

They act like this store started the whole thing. I don’t think they did. I blame Fauci, not the store.

Well- last time they put a sign up criticizing zhao biden, it was a diner in Florida and they became so popular overnight they ran out of food!!

Hoping for much the same for this establishment!!

It’s not a threat. It’s a warning.

I don’t need any vaccine. I’m a big supporter of abortion rights and procrastination. So if the virus kills me we’ll call it even. Some things just take time.

That's what I think, yes. If this situation ultimately must end in bloodshed, so be it.

Then MOVE. No one in Tennessee wants you to be unhappy.

The owner of the store actually died, from Covid, before the vaccines were available.

Classic lefty tactics—try to turn you into a slave and then complain when you fight back...

Sounds like a fair trade, what’s the problem?

If someone attacks me with a syringe, we have a “stand your ground law” that bases my response on how threatened I feel. These jabs make me fear for my life. If a junkie came after you with a syringe, what would you response be? Does the government inspire more confidence in you than a junkie?

You should read the reviews. On second thought, don’t. All of ‘em are out of state, and all of them take the stand “They’re threatening their customers!” How in the name of Orville Redenbacher’s bowties do they get THAT out of the sign, I don’t know and I’m usually quite good on leftism. Oy.

But forcing someone to put something into his body that he doesn’t want there isn’t violence.

...local news source The Tennessee Holler...

The Holler is further to the left than MSNBC.
