In my state some stores, not all, have relaxed their mask rules. For example Safeway allows, and perhaps even encourages their employees that have been fully vaccinated to go without masks. This is a form of leadership by example. Customers are on the honor system and have the ability to go without a mask if fully vaccinated. I usually go without now. But sometimes I forget and still wear mine. I have been in other stores where masks are still required. I have no problem with that either.

I do not know if Georgia has lowered their standards, but if they have it is likely similar to here. The store required facemasks. It is no different than a "No shoes. No shirt. No service." policy except that this one could save lives.

Notice how the violence seems to come mostly from one side. The people shooting store security and employees, assaulting staff, attacking cabin crew, etc. all seem to come from the anti-mask brigade.
I haven't seen many stories of people being shot over not wearing a mask.....

Well they kill each other over shoes, so a mask falls right in line with the type of people who do not value life.

Yup. Nothing at all to do about people who scream "Tyranny" over mask requirements.

Well not all Republicans act this way.

And that would be the people who refuse to wear masks.

I do not wear a mask, and never once thought about killing a person.

I always drive well over the speed limit and ignore stop signs, and never once thought about killing a person. See, I'm allowed to be reckless and show a callous disregard for human life if I don't think about those lives. Apparently.

The irony that this particular incident was over the wearing (or non-wearing) of a face mask during the waning months of a pandemic, lost on you?

I guess it makes it ok, when some one is murdered over say a drug deal or the robbing of a liquor store or just some one killing another person because they disrespected the murderer. But lets get all high and mighty when comes to the untouchable mask.

Where I live the doors now have signs saying that masks are no longer required for fully vaccinated individuals. And since there's no requirement to show a vaccination card, that pretty much adds up to mask wearing is now optional.

I still put on a mask anyways in certain places, just in case there's someone who would get upset if I didn't. I have a feeling there's some people who are so militant about it, they're not going to care that I've been fully vaccinated.
