Woman Punches Teen Boy in Walmart For Not Wearing Face Mask
Townhall.com ^ | August 3, 2020 | Todd Starnes

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.

Amazon. There are all kinds of places on the web where you can buy one. Most under a hundred bucks.

When someone asks “Didn’t you see the arrows?” just say “Arrows? I didn’t even see the Indians!”

I guess I don’t like anybody in the story.

Walmart has a policy that you have to wear a facemask to be in their store. They publicized it and people who go there may be relying on it because they are in a high risk category Walmart employees should have taken action, not laughed.

The teenage should have been taught to obey the rules wherever he goes. His Mom should be punishing him.

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.

They need to file criminal and civil charges against these people. End of story.

Being considerate of others cuts two ways. To an extent, teens will be smart-a$$ teens and not think much beyond the zipper in their pants. This couple displayed a very bad example of uncivil, inconsiderate behavior. Another shining example of why this country is in the crappy shape it is in. If adults display such bad examples, why do we think young people will do any better? Many (now)adults in our world were never taught how to behave in a civil and considerate way.

Why would you want to touch someone if you’re afraid they may have COVID?

Folks it is getting really crazy. And it will probably get worse as people’s frayed nerves are getting touchier by the day.

My advice is to avoid confrontations.

Unhinged people can pull a gun or knife.

We have had ‘road rages’ that did not end well.

Now we have ‘mask rages’.

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.

But even if it were a sensible rule that actually would help the situation there are always people who simply refuse to conform.

Which is why I never have bought the 100% democrat vote tallies.

There are always people who will go their own way. Even if you put them under duress they will tell you no. Then they will tell you what you can do with yourself.

Not to be “sexist” but it appears that the majority of assaults by these loser “karens” are by women. Since they so desperately want “equality”, they should have their teeth knocked out by the persons they assault. Maybe then they would control their pathetic selves.

Nobody in my area is ‘policing’ their neighbors, and nobody follows the arrows on the aisles.

But we’re hearing so many stories of these unhinged people, it’s getting scary.

I _had_ to go shopping today.

I was going to go without a mask, but instead, because my husband was convinced he was going to have physically protect me, I wore it around my neck.

I was the only person in Aldi’s not masked from chin to nose bridge.

In Walmart, I counted 3 free people. Many of the employees wore theirs under their nose, as did some customers.

I got some dirty looks and a few of those were because I totally forget about the aisle directions. No one confronted me. (Maybe it was the big bearded man strolling behind me? IDK) One of the unmasked people, a middle-aged man, was watching all the cucks and fuming. You could just see his disgust. Don’t blame him.

Strangely enough, the stores were full. They don’t seem to be counting customers any longer. I also didn’t see the hand sanitizer stations or the wipes for the baskets. At Aldi’s, someone passed their basket on to me and I did the same when I was done. No sanitation, but both men before and after me were masked.

Anyway, I should be good except for produce for a while. Hope this has been rescinded by then. It’s by state order in Wisconsin.

To hell with the “Caped Crusader.” Now we have Mask Crusaders who have a psychotic obsession with masks.

“Makes you think about Nazi Germany”


“You are supposed to wear the star! It is for your own protection!”

It’s the same psychology at work. Like the monkeys beating up the newcomers for trying to get the “forbidden” banana, or something.

Human Psychology would be a fascinating science. Too bad it’s relegated to perverts.

I spent a week in NH in July and I would say the majority of people did not wear masks. In fact, at the nearby 7-11, even the workers didn’t wear masks. Now there were some chain stores like Wal-Mart and Lowes that insisted on them due to nationwide corporate policy but it was refreshing to see in the “Live Free Or Die” state.
