At what point is this asshole no longer covered by "protected free speech"?
Also, how many Tucker Carlson viewers are going to win a trip to the e.r.?

Would be amusing him trying to explain why his fist was in my hand for. Has to punch me and his balance center leaning twords me for the hold to work..lol.

Touching gets self defense.
Blocking my path creates a police report with their name on it.

(8,052 posts)about whether or not to wear a mask!"--disregarding the fact that not wearing a mask indoors affects public health and violates policy/regulations. Just the usual Republican game of whatboutism and conflating shit.

(1,495 posts)I'd lose my mind if one of these nutjobs approached me. One of the reasons I like wearing a mask is that it makes me less approachable.

(65,010 posts)One of my golf pals, (who was a "COVID is overblown...it's just the flu...they're just trying to make T***p look bad" types 14 months ago) has converted.
He's been vaccinated, wears a mask anywhere indoors & public.
Anyway, a week ago he's going with his wife & another couple to a diner.
As he's going in, some young guy says "Sheep".
He told the guy to STFU. Told us, 20 years ago he would have "punched him in the throat."
I think Tucker's sheep are going to get more than they bargained for.
If I get confronted, I'll say "I'm wearing it because there are idiots refusing to get vaccinated."

(16,254 posts)The cops come, confront the parent/guardian and someone gets shot.
If his mother is still alive, "Karen" should call her to get her kid's head straightened out. What a sicko.

Of course, it'd normally be a lot more useful for informing threateners of penalties ("helpful" info a calm come-back to someone yelling at you) than for expecting police to actually do anything more than either refuse to come or instruct the malefactor to not do it again.
Some idiots will inevitably attempt illegal "citizen's arrest," or false imprisonment, which could involve assault.
The depraved indifference to life of the dutiful followers almost seems innocent compared to the cynical plays Trump, Carlson and other "authority" figures are sacrificing the unfortunates to.
