It’s now a felony in Illinois to assault a retail worker who is enforcing face mask rules

Plater1 · Aug 16, 2020

Isn't assault already a felony?

What means of "enforcement" are they employing?

^^This. As long as the retail worker doesn’t put their hands on the person not wearing a mask they should have nothing to worry about.

Calculon · Aug 16, 2020

Oh the police - got it. They’ll have you detained by pantifa.

Great! Now that unleases the Pro-Masker Karen's out there!

Exactly right. Put your hands on me and you'll be telling us how the inside of an ambulance really looks.

Does that apply to stopping rioters too, or just people who won't wear the ~~yellow star~~ mask ?

Exactly. How many felonies are committed each day in a city/state where the cops are told to stand down during riots. As previously said assault was already a crime. Why put more laws on the books if they won't be enforced? Kind of like some of the gun laws that are broken by gang members and then pled down to a misdemeanor charge. "Let's make more laws"

"Just wear the damn mask."

Gee, who could have seen this coming?

I've seen a few people around here not wearing masks in some stores. Didn't see or hear another customer or employee give them any crap for it either.

Apeman · Aug 16, 2020

Yeah, my wife gives me crap for not wearing one all the time while out. I'll put it on to get groceries or go into a store that has a sign but it comes off as soon as I leave. There was about a 40 person line of us waiting on the sidewalk for a doughnut shop to open the other morning. I'd say at least half of us weren't wearing one until we got to the door.

I can't believe the number of idiots I see driving around with them on in their personal vehicles.

My wife hates it when I leave it under my nose, too. It would appear to me that men are more likely to have the f this rule gene.

I still point out people who are in their cars with masks on. Sometimes a couple with two masks, but my favorite is definitely when a person has it on and they are the only one in the vehicle.

The slippery slope is slippery... Jeez, who knew?... Facepalm ... :banghead:

Not a fan of masks, but definitely not a fan anyone who assaults a wage slave who was doing their job.

Depends on the circumstances.

Did the "wage slave" get physical first ?

or jews

Just carry a fold up BLM sign.

When they complain about the mask pull out the sign and accuse them of racism.

Bonus points if you burn down the store while the cops sit back and watch.

Score!

Or unlawful detainment or both.

Hysteria ... That's what this is.

hys·te·ri·a
/həˈstirēə,həˈsterēə/

noun

exaggerated or uncontrollable emotion or excitement, especially among a group of people.

Sounds like someone is better off walking into a store (not to buy anything) with a torch chanting black lives matter.

Then walking into a store (intending on spending money) not wearing a mask.

Bigfoot · Aug 17, 2020

Going by the media it appears that rioters are immune from COVID-19.
And the people who will not wear a mask are attempted murderers that are purposely trying to kill grandma.

Maybe I should start rioting and burning shit down.
Nah I'll just keep on not putting a mask on for now.
If I get locked in a store that's when I will start rioting.

Bigfoot · Aug 17, 2020

I have put a mask on 2 times since this started...

Both times were when I took the wife to the primary care doctor's office,
In that case, I'm not going to put up a fuss.

Not that the mask did any good. I just didn't want to make the wife's day any more stressful
than it already was. So I complied. She wanted me with her, and well, it was the doctor's office.
Not the time and place IMHO.

While I was sitting in the waiting room chair waiting and waiting. I started bleating, bah ,bah, bah.
She punched me on my thigh and told me to stop it... I kind of like her.

Imagine being locked in at the doctors... The horror.

Why isn't the doctors office the time or place?
