They're just toddlers having a tantrum.

1. In front of his kids. SMDH.

[FoxNewsSucks]

5. They'll be proud of daddy for the rest of their lives.

[BlackSkimmer]

6. Though the guy is an idiot, I thought we were told we didn't have to wear masks outside?

That was the science.

[Nevilledog]

7. This is in Canada.

[BlackSkimmer]

9. Oh, science varies in different countries?

How odd.

In the immortal words of Johnny Carson, “I did not know that.”

[Nevilledog]

10. Don't be obtuse. Different countries have different restrictions.

[BlackSkimmer]

12. Ooh, thank you for the wise words.

I really should spend more time on Twitter, I guess.

Still not quite sure how that lines up with the science?

[Nevilledog]

13. What makes you think this is about the stupid mask?

This guy doesn't give a shit about the science. It's performative stupidity. Anything so they can claim to be a victim.

17. The ski hills are private businesses and can and will adhere to public

health guidelines. If you are on a chairlift with other people you are in close contact. It is likely posted and on his pass. I don't understand why they didn't release his foot from the board though.

8. Here's the thing about science.

It's not about being right, it's about being less wrong over time.

What we think has to evolve over time as we discover more and as situations change.

"We don't have to wear masks outside" might have been a perfectly fine conclusion back with OG Covid, but if the much, much more virulent Omicron strain is blowing up in your region, and case numbers are 10x what they were in previous peaks, the conclusions that science comes to may need to change.

Will the conclusions change again? Absolutely, as the situations dictate. This is how science works.

11. I was wearing a mask before it was even recommended, but outside on a lift with your family?

That’s silly, and that’s part of what’s causing so much dissent.

That said, if the rules of that mountain say so, he should be wearing it. He’s an ass, no question.

But the rule is stupid.

[Bev54]

18. Are you sure it is his family? They are all masked, so what is his problem?

It is a tantrum and he is holding up many families that want to get on the lift.

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

15. Going up the hill, people are sitting

right next to each other on the lift seats.

Personally, I would not have any problem wearing a mask for the short period of time the lift takes to go up to top of the hill.

[SWBTATTReg]

2. What an idiot...and a p*&&y too. Can't wear that mask for the few seconds that the lift takes

to get to the top. Now, he's out of luck and I hope that they kicked him out of there and also, for assault to these security people simply doing their job. When does this get ridiculous on the masks, the vaccines, etc. I mean, it's already getting ridiculous, but still...

[gratuitous]

3. Meanwhile, the lift stops and nobody can go skiing

All in service of this spoiled brat's tantrum. If you don't like the resort's policy, chum, open your own resort and make up any rules you want.

[Treefrog]

14. I know. What a complete idiot.

Why didn’t they take his board off? That was like a fucking 3 Stooges episode.

[rsdsharp]

4. Is there a reason security isn't carrying handcuffs?

Three guys get him on the ground, and when it’s over they are in the same place they started.

[Initech]

16. Even toddlers don't throw their own poop and destroy property.

[spanone]

19. That's a typo...should be...'A dick in Canada...'

[North Shore Chicago]

20. What a self entitled prick!

Humans are devolving, getting worse each day.
