Florida man charged with threatening to shoot up Publix because not enough face mask usage

http://cw34.com/news/local/florida-man-charged-with-threatening-to-shoot-up-publix



SEBRING, Fla (CBS12) — Investigators say a man threatened a mass shooting at a Publix store in Florida, all because he didn't think enough people wore face masks while out and about during the coronavirus pandemic.

The Highlands County Sheriff's Office arrested Robert Kovner, 62, of Sebring on a felony charge of making a written threat of a mass shooting.

Deputies said Kovner made the threatening post against Publix on Facebook

Facial coverings are a suggested defense against the spread of the coronavirus which has taken more than 500 lives in Florida, and sickened more than 21,000 people. You can check the number of cases in your neighborhood by zip code.

...I disagree with shooting up a Publix (or any kind of gun violence for that matter), BUT...I understand.

I felt the same way at the Giant Eagle just north of Ohio State on Saturday afternoon. Lot of young pseudo-invincible possible carriers flitting around with no masks or regard for distancing. But there’s one difference..I’m relatively sane.

I don't care what his politics are, but he's an idiot.
A written threat? What did he think would happen?
Dolt!
Not too bright, not too stable!
