A racist who refused to wear a mask in a Lyft threatened to crush the skull of his gay driver

[Behind the Aegis]

A white man who got so upset at being asked to wear a mask in a Lyft driver’s car ended up going on a racist and homophobic rant and was later banned by the service.

In a video recorded on May 28 by the driver Edgar, the man who identified himself as Richard entered the car without a mask. Edgar asked Richard to put on a mask or lift his shirt over his mouth and Richard refused.

“Do you believe in that s**t?” Richard said incredulously, referring to either coronavirus prevention measures or coronavirus itself.

“Yes, I do,” Edgar responded, “because I have family that is sick of that.”

1. I watched that the other day.

I must have missed the gay part, but I remember the racist stuff. The guy acted like a total ass Disgusting.

That driver had the patience of a saint.

2. Hopefully that POS will be banned from Lyft. He should also be reported to the police

and charged with making threats of physical violence against the driver

There is too many of these bigots who have been legitimized, and it is way past due to have a zero tolerance policy toward them

At all costs we must vote out trump and the republicans. The survival of our democracy depends on it

4. He was banned.

6. I wonder if Richard is employed?

If he worked for me, I'd fire his racist, homophobic ass.

The driver told him he was being recorded and he still continued to spout his hateful venom.

7. AND TO THINK, ALL IT TOOK WAS A LITTLE ACT OF LEADERSHIP!!

Trump is the root of all that is evil in this country, maybe the world. And he loves every damn bit of it. Damien Thorn wants us to die for his glory. I don't always wear a mask either, but if I have to I would. Our military base makes it mandatory to wear masks in all base facilities. You can't walk into a BX or Commissary without one. You can't enter the base hospital or billetting without one. I may not wear a mask when I'm out exercising or in my car, but I will gladly wear one if asked to do so. these people have found some dumbass rationale for supporting and defending trump and his adolescent refusal to wear a mask. If you want to risk your life or infect others think ---TRUMP---IS---- A--- BILLIONAIRE--- WITH ACCESS TO TOP-NOTCH MEDICAL CARE---Can you say the same about yourself?
