Woman Punches Teen Boy in Walmart For Not Wearing Face Mask

A middle-aged couple is under fire after they berated a group of teenagers and punched one of the boys because they were not wearing face masks inside a Walmart in Post Falls, Idaho.

"You guys are abusing your freedom. Stop it," the woman said just before hitting one of the boys in the shoulder.

The North Idaho News reports that police were contacted and the victim intends to press charges.

"You think this is cute not wearing a mask," the man said. "Get a damn mask and put it on your face."

The woman was literally screaming to anyone who would listen, "Their parents are teaching them this garbage."

Jill Dickenson, the mother of the boys in the video, told North Idaho Exposed in an exclusive interview that she infuriated by the attack. You can watch the interview by clicking here. 

"My blood was boiling," she said. "We live in a country that we have freedoms. We have liberties. For my kids to walk into Walmart and get apprehended and accosted the way they did - it's uncalled for.”

She was just as upset with the store's management.

"Walmart did nothing about it," she said. "The employees - some of them stood around laughing - mask shaming with this couple."

Mrs. Dickenson's son said he and his friends were asked to wear masks when they first walked into the store, but they declined to do so. The boys were still allowed in the store.

One of her sons told North Idaho Exposed that the couple approached them and immediately began harassing the boys.

"We hope your grandparents die of COVID," the couple allegedly said.

When they came back, one of the boys turned on his cell phone and recorded the encounter.

"I was angry like any mom would be," Mrs. Dickenson said. “The momma bear came out in me and I'm like, 'Oh no she didn't.'"

The country has gone slap crazy, folks.

Just the other day a woman in Manhattan Beach, California, threw a cup of hot coffee at a man because he was noshing a burrito unmasked.

“It’s hard to eat a burrito with a mask on,” the man tried to explain before his buddy was pelted by piping hot java.

It appears that a good-many folks have come down with a raging case of China Virus Derangement Syndrome and I’m afraid there is no known cure.

I sympathize with her. My wife works at the hospital close by where we live in Monmouth County, NJ. She's a heart monitor technician and she has asthma. She has to wear the damn thing for 12 hours and it's torture for her. Her face is getting terribly chapped. I can tell you between my hospital and the one my wife works everybody, from doctors right on down to mop jockeys like me have HAD IT with the bloody things. Their just a royal pain in the butt. I work for a different hospital in southern NJ, in Ocean Country. I'm 64 with a heart condition and a pacemaker. I have to wear the thing with my nose exposed or I'm suffocating.

Matter of fact I was doing my shift in the ER last night and dang if at one point by blood pressure shot way up. One of the nurses looked at me and said, “Whoa, get on the stretcher, you don't look good. Wind up was I wasn't. Spent the night in the hospital, the doctors and staff fixed me up. just need a different medication, cut down of the coffee and red meat(all the fun stuff) and they discharged me today. Good to still be on two feet and breathing..

“ You don’t have to wear a mask at Walmart.”

Apparently there is no mask mandate either, just recommended.

Then they will tell you what you can do with yourself.

It's quite cathartic   ;-)

I cut a bunch of slits in my free Costco mask. I can breathe like it’s not even there. ;)

You do realize that you're still conforming to the mass hysteria created by a lying media, right?

If you could do it you would be sure to take the gold in the Olympics.

It was around eighty bucks. Some were cheaper but I would not go there.

“I don’t look for arrows on the floor at the grocery store. And I consider them “suggestions” only even if I do see them.”

Same with me.

This couple displayed a very bad example of uncivil, inconsiderate behavior.

In my state assault and battery is also considered criminal behavior.

I know. Just knowing simple right from wrong avoids the legal side . . . treat others like you want to be treated. Good civil, considerate behavior makes the world turn so much smoother

Thanks! Sounds doable for my budget and very worthwhile for the times.

I’ve been thinking about a car-cam for a few years now but I haven’t been doing much driving so let it slide. Might be time for that too regardless of miles driven.

The lady overreacted. No problem with her telling the kid but her next step was she should have gone to the employees and taken it up with them.


No, she needs to mind her own business. EVERYBODY is getting darned tired of all these stupid “karens” thinking they have the right to give out directives to strangers.

As far as walmart policy, it’s up to them if they want to enforce the masks. I’m pretty sure they don’t because they realize what a can of worms this is. These masks are usually worn in clean room environments. Having worked in a clean room my entire adult life, I can assure you, walmart is a very far cry from any clean room area. Clean rooms have entirely different air flow, the surfaces are wiped down with alcohol on a constant basis, the masks are thrown away every few hours. Everyone in the cleanroom is wearing gloves, hairnets w/ hood, shoecovers/ w booties, safety glasses. Compare that to a store and what is going on the mask from the masses. I don’t blame anybody for not wanting that petri dish mask near their nose and mouth.

I agree with you. Just pointing out that they went a good step beyond simple incivility.

People who physically assault others should expect to either get a good beatdown or charged with A&B. Or both for good measure.

I’ve wanted to punch quite a few of them for extreme body odor. But instead I just humiliate them by telling in a loud voice that they frickin stink
