Yep. It took the watching a man die by his own hand for him to have a reality check.
Don't trust shitlibs, they have been propagandized into a mentally unstable state, and are likely to act like frightened animals.
He didn't kill the other guy. He shot him in the shoulder and the guy walked away.
Clerk must have been having a bad day.
Every liberal, every last one, is guilty of tyranny.
Not really what the title says. In my opinion, if you refuse to take payment for what you publicly offer, then people have every right to take it without payment, but he obviously regarded it as robbery.
Every clerk in the world of told not to confront robbers and shoplifters. The only reason this motherfucker went after someone is because they ignored the mask mandate.
More than that: The customer ignored the clerk's demand for authority.
That is not a refusal to take payment though. I don't know how things work in common law jurisdictions, but in civil law, if I have borrowed money from you, I offer to pay it - and you refuse - the debt is considered cleared.
Now you can imagine a store situation. The store makes an offer. I accept the offer, which imposes on me the obligation to pay the price. The store refuses my payment. My debt is cleared.
Probably in this case, this would not apply, as masks were mandated at the time and the store was within its right to refuse service to this individual.
But I have considered what the best way is to resist 'vaccine passports'. I thought it would be good to walk past the checker, take whatever item you want, and when there is a refusal to sell the item - just hand over the money and walk out of the store. I am not sure it would fly legally, but I do know that it would fly PR-wise.
But if it was shoplifting, he was probably within his rights to chase him. And the article is not specific enough to make a judgment, but if he feared for his life, he may even have been justified to pull the trigger.
Nah dude, if the government is going to force you to bake gay cakes, them gas stations have to serve free-citizens. We have set a precedent in this county that an open business must legally offer their services to anyone who walks in the door. Just because they refuse to play by their own rules doesn't change anything.
Put the money on the counter (including tax) and walk out the door.
In regards to the guy shoplifting in retaliation to the extremist clerk refusing to process his payment, the clerk was asking for it.
Did he shoplift? The article never calls him a shoplifter, thief, robber, or alleged thereof. He’s referred to as a customer and a victim but nothing else.
It says he walked up the counter with items to buy and that he walked out of the store without paying for them but doesn’t state that he left with the items.
Without knowing that detail it could be the customer/victim left the items on the counter and the clerk walked out after the guy, filming him and ranting about mask bullshit, and then attacked the guy going full masktard.
It would be nice if the clerk's video and security camera footage was available.
He did, it said the customer who got rejected walked out without paying for the items.
Edit: fuck, I failed to properly state he did not pay.
Ok, there’s another article that states specifically that he left with the snacks without paying.

Re-reading the original article I noticed the picture caption states:
I think it’s just a garbage article.
I did wonder when something like this might happen… 😑
Sad. It was really only a matter of time, though…
1933 all over again. 😞
Yes, but in that case the guy not wearing a mask was the aggressor, and the media did not show his picture for a very good reason.
IIRC some autist stabbed a guy to death over a mask back in 2020 already.
Lmfao what an idiot
