    Question about Covid Harassment & Confrontations

    I live in Texas. There are no mask mandates from the government. I've not yet seen a business requiring them in my area but many have signs "recommending" them.

    I'm looking for feedback on the following question/situation.

    Almost everyone has likely seen the videos or articles about people who are confronted when they don't wear masks. Someone will go into a business or public place and another person will jump their s#!t and scream and yell about not wearing a mask.


    What should be the repercussions for those people who are unprovoked yet, jump another person's s#it in these type of situations??? Should there be any consequences? If so, what?

    As a side note, Texas has constitutional carry as of Sept 1st.
    You can can a gun concealed or otherwise legally.

    Newton's third law really explains a lot.

    There are several ways to handle it:

    1) Start screaming and yelling until they call the cops and kick you both out.
    2) Punch them
    3) Shoot them
    4) Have an in depth conversation on the pros and cons of mask wearing, vaccines and COVID spread.

    Unfortunately, it seems as though 1) is typically the one chosen.
    I do like options 2 & 3 though but, it might lead to prison time.

    Option 4 never occurs. People are set in their ways at this stage of the pandemic and "civil conversations" just aren't viable.

    This is exactly how. The best way to handle that situation is the most natural, and also the easiest way. All you have to do is nothing, and you win.

    It's probably possible. You just have to initiate the conversation and tell them you would like to discuss it with them. They probably will not want to talk either way and so the issue is resolved.

    Landed in St Thomas today

    Got to have your covid questions filled out online or else you:

    Get in a line shoulder to shoulder

    Go to a shared desk, no spacing

    Grab a used pen

    Fill out a questionnaire

    Get back in line

    Hand to official

    Get in cab

    Seriously....Liberal logic
