Customer shoots and kills cashier in Georgia grocery store dispute over mask wearing

[FireDragon76]

My condolences to the families of the victims.

There is no hell deep enough for those who politicized public health measures. This is the unfortunate but inevitable outcome.

When we get two different information streams in a program "Designed" to separate humanity; I would think we all should ask why is this allowed to exist? In current program, people who dont have the time or knowledge (cant read, for 1 example) trust an entertainment source for news (Look up lawsuits on main stream news and "how" they beat their cases against them stating they are entertainment). <-- Really think about that for a minute. To those spewing racism... Elevate your thinking please , to two different info streams where one uses trust of another (minimal effort in "true" facts ) vs context seekers . Thus, we get what we got in article.

there was an argument with the cashier over a mask.

The suspect then shot the employee and she died from her injuries

A reserve deputy working security at the store fired at the suspect, who returned fire. Both were injured and taken to local hospitals.

At least the argument was over something important. Too many shootings are over trivial disputes.

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.

I had several appointments for a surgical procedure a couple of weeks ago. The hospital system still demands that everyone wear masks all the time, despite Texas government mandates, despite vaccination status. They also prohibit guns, concealed or unconcealed.

And, frankly, any private business could choose to do so, just as they demand shoes and shirts, or just as they may demand no guns, concealed or unconcealed.

No issue over masks should ever come to a gunfight. The fault is always, always, always the person who pulled a gun over a mask dispute.

I'd say someone who pulls gun over a mask dispute is the same sort of person who would pull a gun over a parking space dispute, which has happened. Or anything else trivial.

Whoever will kill a person over a mask, shoes, bubble gum, or any other item you want to add to the list.

I suspect there's more going on that just mask phobia. Probably a whole ideology is at stake for this person.

That is an incredibly weird comment.

I wrote it so someone could come along and make an insulting comment about it and in turn feel better about themselves.

Sadly, there's no shortage of scum and villainy in late modern America.

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.

I see no different. Not wearing mask, distancing and washing hands put peoples life's in danger and killed many people. It's all the same.

Most absurd reasons why people have killed

 

[Ophiolite]

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

It's good to get an admission of what I suspected was true. Try not to feel to guilty about it.

Ouch, shots fired.

I will pas that along to the other 2000-3000+ people who are not wearing mask in the town i live in
