The guard shot the customer as he was walking away..

A California security guard was charged with murder Wednesday after prosecutors say he shot a 50-year-old man at a supermarket because he was not wearing a mask.

The incident occurred at the Gardena market in South California on Sunday, when the customer, Jerry Lewis, reportedly entered the store without a mask and got into an argument with the guard, Umeir Hawkins.

...

Hawkins and his wife Sabrina Carter were each charged with one count of possession of a handgun by a felon, stemming from a prior conviction in 2013 for assault by means of force likely to produce great bodily injury, according to a press release by the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office.

Full stop, all stop... If a person has a medical condition they do not have to wear a mask and it is not the security guards job to ask what that condition is. If a person has a medical condition it is none of the guards, or store managements business what that condition is and the individual is not required to disclose it according to the Americans with Disabilities act.

So, all of you mask happy little Hitlers can kiss my ass when I walk into a place without a mask, stop me and refuse to serve me and I will sue your ass and win for refusing to serve a disabled person.

This guy was so far over the top for shooting someone over a damn mask it is not even funny. Something tells me it was a white guy he shot too.

Some one gave this maggot felon 2 cents worth of power and that was a cent and a half more than he could properly deal with.

Just damn.

CA gives guns to Barney Fife and keeps them from non-inbred, rational, law-abiding citizens.

Is there a sane person in CA that feels safe there????

Yeah, the security guard was a convicted felon and the decedent after arguing with the guard walked away, then made the mistake of walking back in and fighting with the felon guard.

What a clusterf*k.

Just by looking at him, I suspect the security guard Umeir
is not known for his decision making skills or self control.
Sometimes looks, or the way you present yourself, do tell much of the story.

“Well, didn’t you tell me to stop anybody without a Mask from getting inside? Then thass what I just did.”
