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

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.”
