Man wipes nose on employee's shirt after being told to wear mask in Michigan store

[left-of-center2012]

HOLLY, Mich. - Police in one Michigan community are searching for a man who they said wiped his nose on a retail employee’s shirt after he was told to wear a mask. The Holly Police Department released a video showing a man inside a Dollar Tree walking over to the clerk and wiping his nose on the employee’s right sleeve.

Investigators said the employee asked the customer to wear a mask, and there are signs posted on the store’s entry doors instructing people to follow the policy.
The man is accused of telling the clerk, “Here, I will use this as a mask,” before wiping his nose. Witnesses said he was also loud and disruptive before leaving the dollar store.

Police are asking the public to contact the department if they have any information on the suspect. He is facing an assault charge.

Holly is located in Oakland County, which has reported more than 7,500 COVID-19 cases, according to Johns Hopkins. As of Monday morning, 757 people have died in the county.

1. There's bad behavior, then there's what the MAGA's do.

They are taking it to a whole other level. I don't know that there is any other living thing on this planet more disgusting than these people.

2. I have a feeling I'm gonna have to throw hands with some fool before this is done

[captain queeg]

11. Yeah I'm not young any more but sometimes I just see red and might do something stupid

If confronted by that level of stupidity

[shockey80]

23. I know what you mean.

I am older now. When I was young I didn't mind a good fight if it was necessary. Now that I am older I don't want to fight anymore. I fear some Trump voter will leave me no choice.

3. Michigan man shot security employee after wife told to wear a mask. . . . nt

[2naSalit]

4. Yeah, see...

that fucker would have been out cold on the floor before he had a chance to finish his sentence if he tried that with me. Any person who reaches out to physically touch me is a candidate for an ambulance ride... and someone else will have to call 911 for them.

[shockey80]

7. I completely agree with you.

That would be an instinctive, self defense, don't even think about it , punch to his face. Some people have lost all respect. They think they can say or do anything and no one will respond. It doesn't work that way.

[2naSalit]

9. I'm a rather

diminutive size so it's quite a shock when they find themselves on the ground. I used to land a mean roundhouse back in my younger days but I was given self defense training a long time ago, it's good to know.

[shockey80]

13. You don't measure balls or toughness by height.

I am also on the small side I had no choice but to fight when I was young. If a bully picked on me and father found out that I did not fight back, my father would have knocked me into next week.

My father was short, but he was built like a silver back. You did not want to piss him off. He was also a marine.

5. Elbow to the head, knee to the groin. In one fell swoop.

Maybe push a display onto him after that. Maybe get fired too. From my POV, worth it.

[2naSalit]

10. ++++++++++!!

[ProfessorGAC]

19. There Are No Rules, Once Assaulted

No rules! Your approach is a little too close to having rules, for me.

[stillcool]

6. Looks like a candidate for a Cabinet position

or Fox news commentator. Or both.

[Arazi]

8. That's assault. Lock him up

[rownesheck]

12. What's up with Michigan?

Lots of horrible shit coming out of there recently.

[NoPasaran]

15. No kidding! This is vile

And I share a city with Alex Jones.

[cwydro]

14. Why did she just stand there?

I’m a petite and non-violent woman, but I would have reacted with a kick to the knee at least. That’s horrible.

Can’t believe she didn’t even recoil from him.

[shockey80]

16. You're right, she did not respond at all, strange.

You would think she would have at least pulled away, slapped him, something.

[I_UndergroundPanther]

27. Sometimes

When people get assaulted they freeze. When I got assaulted one time I froze.

Other times when I dealt with an assailant who knew better than to grab me. I knocked her out with one punch, apparently, I triggered blacked out and she ended up on the floor out cold.I can fight because I had to to survive,but even though I can kick ass sometimes I freeze. I have PTSD.

[LisaL]

17. Customer is always right, don't you know?

[cwydro]

21. Lol, just seems like a human thing to react when someone assaults you.

Hope they catch the idiot.

[badhair77]

24. I think she was so stunned someone would

do such a think that she just froze. I hope he faces punishment but my gut feeling is he’ll get away with it. That’s the trump way.

[Disaffected]

26. Maybe she simply froze

i.e. didn't know how to react.

There is a lot of tough talking on this thread which makes me wonder if some here share perhaps a little in common with the ones they want to retaliate against. With all the open/concealed carry wackos around, I would be reluctant to provoke a situation that might turn out to be deadly.

Just my opinion....

[Stuart G]

18. There are about 6000 people in Holly Michigan..

This particular fellow should not be too hard to find. Especially if he is a regular customer in this store.
What do you think will happen to him?? I haven't got a clue, just asking...

[backscatter712]

20. I'm living with two family members who are considered vulnerable to Captain Trumps.

If one of those bleach-drinkers did something like that to me, I'd punch his fucking lights out.

[Alliepoo]

22. Told my husband I've thought about it

After hearing about all of the nastiness going on with the masks I’ve decided that if anyone approaches me with ill intent or won’t get out of my space after I’ve asked, that I will pitch a royal yelling, loud fit right in front of everyone in whatever establishment it happens. I’m too old for this crap. (If someone had tried to wipe anything on me like he did that girl I think I’d have slapped the piss out of him. Just knee jerk reaction) I just wanted to give Mr Poo fair warning about my intentions.

[badhair77]

25. My friend, a retired nurse, went to the grocery store and

wore a sign on her back. It was just a piece of notebook paper that read “Keep 6 - 8 ft.” No one went near her. I love her.

[Midnight Writer]

28. I'm older than this guy, but I promise this motherfucker would find himself on his ass pretty quick.

To me, this is a physical assault and should be legally defended with vigor.
