A female bartender in Seattle suffered injuries to her face after asking a customer to show their proof of COVID-19 vaccination—which is mandated in the city, according to reports.

KOMO News, citing police, reported that a sharpened broomstick was used in the assault and the bartender suffered cuts to her face. The bartender was treated at the scene. The incident occurred at about 5: 15 p.m., the report said.

The report said the suspect fled the scene and may have boarded a train in the city....

COVID-related hospitalizations have increased 58% in the last week, Public Health – Seattle & King County said on Monday.

"What if he attacks with a POINTED STICK?"

Keep supporting draconian laws, businesses, and incidents like this will just further increase.

“police, reported that a sharpened broomstick was used in the assault and the bartender suffered cuts to her face”

Maybe she didn’t say the magic word.

A garden gnome works too.

Gettin’ all high and mighty, eh?

I feel bad for the girl. She didn’t sign up to be some kind of health inspector. It’s damn stupid trying to turn wait staff into law enforcement agents. This story is just more proof of that.

If they ban “killer broomsticks” how will Karens fly?

who carries a sharpened broom stick? Is it a happy-hour requirement?

The sharpened broomstick jumped off the barstool and tried to do a Shaka Zulu on the bartender.

Do not piss of sharpened broonsticks.

I have to wonder about where and how the city gets the authority to require employees of a private business to enforce city ordinances. Will the city pay for the young woman’s medical bills?
