A man whom Texas GOP gubernatorial candidate Allen West admitted to pulling down his mask at an airport during an altercation has said that he wishes to press charges as he claims his face covering was "violently" torn off, according to a Dallas Morning News report.
Lawrence Eric Stern told the outlet that a detective at the Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport had informed him that his case had been placed before the Grapevine Municipal Court.
According to the DFW Airport police's report, Stern was in the airport on Nov. 3 when he spotted West walking through the facility maskless, reports Dallas Morning News. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has made masking mandatory for anyone in airports across the United States through at least January 18, 2022.

If this guy was close enough to West for his mask to be pulled down, HE was violating West’s personal space. HE should be up on charges for “threatening behavior”.
I grew up in that time too.
That America vanished a long time ago.
Before West pulled the guy’s mask down, did the guy confront him in an angry way about not wearing a mask?
So, West yanked the mask off the guys face because he told West to put on a mask? That's not enough "provocation" to justify anything.
Go ahead and convince me that a politician like West who is running for office doesn't want to be approached by strangers. I'll wait.
