People are insane! Older white man wipes his nose on Dollar Tree clerk's shirt. Now arrested.

Video within.

The suspect entered the Dollar Tree on North Saginaw Street around 1:30 p.m. on Saturday, May 2, police said. The clerk told the man that all customers must wear a mask to enter the store. There were also signs posted at the entrance.

After being confronted, the suspect allegedly walked over to the clerk and wiped his nose and face on her shirt, saying, “Here, I will use this as a mask,” according to police.

He then continued to be loud and disruptive inside the store, police said. - Michigan Live

I'm thinking there's a good chance he's a cultist nut job. Fox Entertainment rots the brain.

It doesn't matter. It is reckless disregard for public health and safety and has nothing to do with 'political identity'.
I don't remember anyone feeling the need to point out these peoples' race or gender or age..

If you are not willing to stand up against bigotry no matter where it comes from then .. well... you can finish this sentence yourself.

Same way some DUers tried to make the Family Dollar shooting in Flint about white Trump supporters when the actual suspects are African-American.

Lacks objective evidence to support it a such though. But I get it... sometimes we invent opposition to better maintain the pretense of our own marginalization... another "popular narrative", and offered with the precise same amount of evidence t support it.

His nose would have ended up next to his right ear...

People should get punched for acting like that.

Why the fuck do people think that shit is funny?

The problem is that we tolerate this group of people. They need to be treated like the deplorables that they are.

Sons?

That's the lesson he is teaching them.
