Guy then get in his licences and insured truck, put on a seat belt and drive home doing the posted speed limit.

Wearing pants the entire time, too.

Voting Rights is Job #1
Wonder if he stops at traffic lights, or just uses his “personal choice” there too.

Asian Karen
Can we find this lady and start a gofundme so she could take a nice vacation!

Luigi
How did he find the library for the first time in his life?

Bibliothecaire
There have been protests this week in St. Charles. They actually had to close the library because they were getting threats

1. These people are pathetic. They think only of themselves and no one else. So what, if they

expose everyone else around them? Selfish.

[L. Coyote]

7. His accounts need to be shut down NOW. Report him everyone.

"This ends when we say it ends." Or when you get your stupid self arrested, idiot with no education.

2. This fella just failed....

Infectious Disease and Infection Control Class.... He get's a F...needs to take the course over again.

[L. Coyote]

13. He fails Common Sense 101 also. He will get infected and infect others.

3. Pitiful jerk, he thinks he has the high ground here. He don't. I am concerned for his child.

[Delphinus]

35. Me too.

[MiHale]

4. Outside the library 2 minutes later...

Heard right after dad told his daughter to do something or another…

Dau : Heck NO dad, I don’t wanna, you can’t make me do anything. You just told that lady that no one should order you around…that you have a personal choice. MY CHOICE IS NOT TO DO IT!

Dad: Get in the car and shut up. Who do you think you are talking time like that, missy? You will do what I want you to do, when I want you to do it. Got it?

Dau: NO,NO NO, a thous…no a million times NO!



My only wish was I wish I heard what he asked her to do.

5. Good for her. Sad that some at DU think she needs to babysit and clean up baby shit too.

Why bother with a Masters. I understand why doctors, nurses and librarians (and other front facing professionals) are quitting in droves.

It is like Rodney Dangerfield, they get no respect. Not at work and not online.

[obamanut2012]

8. Thank you

We really don't.

Ask the librarians on here how often this mask stuff happens.

Constantly.

If I could retire, I would, but I have a better part of a decade left to hit my pension. The public are just horrible now.

[L. Coyote]

10. And libraries have far fewer stupid people showing up.

So it really is worse out there than the sample of the population using libraries.

Derek Ground
I'm torn. While I fully support the mask mandate, I had no idea that anti-maskers used libraries.

11. When I was a librarian (jr college) we just had problems with porn fans

masterbators and loud talkers -now this. Ugh.

They love to bully the front line people. Grown ass cowards.

[XanaDUer2]

44. Lots of library threads lately

[XanaDUer2]

45. I quit

Librarian here. Too much bullshit

9. Person 50 years my younger I asked to comply, mask mandated in grocery, threatened to punch me out.

She handled this so well. I am a librarian and everyday I ask people to wear masks and I get a lot of glares and eyerolls. It adds a complete level of unnecessary stress, worrying if someone will respond negatively.

[Bev54]

12. Not only has this idiot displayed his stupidity to the world but he also

sounded like he was experiencing shortness of breath. He should go home and stay there.

[L. Coyote]

18. Typical symptom of Fear of Knowledge Syndrome.

FKS symptoms also include wearing a red baseball cap, not knowing how to read, watching Fox, Newsxax, and OANN, and flunking out of school.

[XanaDUer2]

14. "I pay your salary"

I'm surprised he didn't pull that out of his hat

[TeslaNova]

15. Like that assclown would ever go to a library for any other reason

My money says he's never even read a Dr. Seuss book.

[L. Coyote]

19. BINGO.

He was there for one reason only, to film himself and promote being an asshole.

[Grokenstein]

39. There's additional video of him filming himself on the way into the library

The smug is so thick I'm surprised the EPA wasn't notified.

[jalan48]

16. He's an unaware moron who thinks he has the right to dictate how someone does their job.

[Sogo]

17. JFC

The librarian was old enough to be his grandmother, which puts her in the age group that is most vulnerable to COVID.

Is that the way he would treat his own grandmother?

"stupid son of a bitch...."

[IronLionZion]

23. Some of these folks might be trying to get an early inheritance

especially the folks who take their own grandparents to churches and family dinners around unvaccinated unmasked people passing COVID around the table.

[Cha]

20. You're the "Shame", tough guy..

and you filmed it.

[dameatball]

21. Nitwit is SO emotionally invested in this issue that his voice is quivering. Good god what a dweeb.

Same thing happens at school board meetings. People end up crying.

Actually I don't even know what a dweeb is. My brother used to call me that (along with nerd and snert) so I assume it is an insult.

[L. Coyote]

25. He may have a bibliophobia.

Catch 22, he needs a self-help book.

[dameatball]

29. Dewey help him or Dewey not?

[L. Coyote]

32. WINNER, chicken dinner.

[IronLionZion]

22. Sounds like it was his first time in a library

and he probably doesn't read much other than online memes

[Bristlecone]

24. He sounds like Ferris Bueller with his cold.

Pathetic.

[Hortensis]

26. :) Sure there was plenty she'd have liked to inform him of.

To paraphrase the old quote: "Those who will not think are no better off than those who cannot think."

[RicROC]

27. I would have followed his train of thought....

when he said, it was her choice, that she must think it's important.

I would have said, 'yes, it is my choice because I think it is VERY important. Besides, it's library policy and I choose to follow it'

[Wild blueberry]

28. His daughter bears the brunt of his negligence

She's too young (2) to get vaccinated. Those I know with kids under 5 are super careful.
He's teaching her stupidity, as well as lack of caring for other people, herself included.
He could get so many wonderful books to read to his daughter, for free, but he chose his own insecurity. Pity.

[Ford_Prefect]

31. He seems to be the bully puffing his ego up when he knows he's in the wrong.

He appears to have intended a confrontation and staged it.

I would happily frog march his butt out the door and into the nearest police station on a charge of malicious verbal assault.

[LuckyLib]

33. Don't engage with these people. Don't give them a platform.

She should have stated the requirement and said “If you can’t comply you need to leave. Then turn on her heel and walk away. Call the police if he doesn’t leave.

[appleannie1]

34. My daughter is a nurse in COVID units.

She cares for people like that on a regular basis. She says in the very beginning they were in the minority. Now they outnumber decent people 5 to 1. Recently she had to duck a swing from some jerk that was arguing he did not have COVID and he would show her where to stick that needle. Having brothers, she is no slouch. She put down the shot, got into a karate stance, looked him in the eye and asked "Do you really want to take me on? Really???" He backed down. She says she has never run into so many rude and ignorant people in her life and it is really taking a toll on the people in the medical field that have to take care of them. It has gotten so it is a relief to have a normal, average patient.

[L. Coyote]

38. The negative impact of these idiots is far reaching.

36. What is the Dewy Decimal number for Airborne Infectious Disease, please?

He was clearly there to do important research.

[wnylib]

37. Totally agree that the guy is an asshole.

But where is the tantrum? Isn't it a tantrum if someone screams, stomps their feet, or yells obscenities at others? He was cocky and tried to be intimidating, but I did not see a tantrum.

Kudos to the librarian for standing her ground. My sympathies to her for having to deal with BS like this.

My local library has hired a security guard to monitor the entrance. He also deals with people who try to remove their mask after they enter.

I saw the library's guard in action one day as the result of a complaint that I made when a guy at their computer lab had his naked nose hanging out.

The employee at the computer desk got the guard who told the guy to cover his nose or he would have to leave. He complied, but I told the guard that the guy on the computer would likely pull down the mask later. The guard said that the other employee was advised to get the guard again if the customer did it again and then the guard would remove him. I left anyway. Did not need or want the drama. But I was glad that they enforced the rules.

[Mr.Bill]

40. While the guy was completely wrong,

I would hardly call that a tantrum. Compared to some videos I've seen, he presented his incorrect argument in a civil manner.

[skypilot]

41. Clearly an idiot.

First he says that she can "make the personal choice to say that it's not a big deal" but then he acknowledges that she obviously thinks it's a "big deal" because she is wearing a mask. Soooo...what exactly did he think her personal choice was going to be regarding him coming in maskless?

[rurallib]

42. I am surprised these people even bother to wear clothes in public

they seem to be so in love with themselves that surely they must want to let everybody see the magnificence that is them. So what if there are laws that people must be clothed? That doesn't apply to them! Their body, their choice!Right??

And why should they use toilets. If they feel like taking a shit, just drop the drawers in the middle of the library and take a shit! Their body, their choice!

[Ohioboy]

43. To me the guy sounds scared

Listen to his voice, it's pretty shaky. He's being an asshole to that nice librarian and his sub conscience isn't letting him off so easy. I'd wager he's a coward deep down inside.

[Skittles]

46. the idea this fucking moron is raising a child is chilling

I mean, does that girl even stand a chance?

[Skittles]

47. of course, this asshole calls himself "pro-life"

these hypocrites are mind-boggling
