Assault charge for man accused of coughing on store worker

DEBARY, Fla. (AP) — A Florida man was charged with aggravated assault after allegedly coughing on a cashier and claiming that social distancing precautions for the coronavirus pandemic are “getting out of hand," according to a police report.

Volusia County Sheriff's deputies arrested Christopher Canfora, 49, of DeBary, on Tuesday.

The cashier at Harbor Freight Tools in Orange City told investigators that Canfora approached her at the cash register and criticized the store's social distancing measures, which include floor tape marking where customers should stay six feet (two meters) apart.

The employee said Canfora intentionally coughed on her and her register, saying he does the same thing when he sees people wearing masks, and would go later go to a grocery store to cough there.

There's nothing some morons can do that's too destructive or stupid as long as they can own the libs.

I hope the fucker gets the virus because some other asshole coughed on him.

really brings out the sociopath in some people. It's also a shame somebody else didn't defy social distancing in order to clean his clock.
