>> An anti-masker rant at an Alaska Walmart
has gone viral for reasons that will imminently
become very clear. Take a look at this individual
being asked to leave the Walmart because of
his refusal to wear a mask and the way he
chooses to express his frustration.
>> Get back on your highway to hell and get
out of a godly man's face!
>> Have a good day. No, I will by your very
blind, ignorant.
>> Leave the store please.
>> You don't have the ability to even come
up with your own ideas. You're exercising
your right as a private company to take away
my rights.
>> Jesus Christ! You can refuse service.
Are you refusing my service?
>> Yes.
>> Why don't you say, we refuse your service?
>> Sir, you do not need to yell.
>> No, I choose to yell, and you cannot stop
me.
>> Okay that's cool, bye.
>> Bye. Will you please return to your service
of Satan in your ignorant belief that you
are right!
>> That's cool, bye.
>> Please-
>> Bye.
>> In the future, respect my rights, no one
else's.
>> Have a good day.
>> You will never in my six foot space-
>> Have a good day.
>> And then think I'm not gonna tell you.
>> Have a good day.
>> I will tell you you're wrong.
>> I know.
>> You stalk me? Do you want to stalk me?
>> No, don't touch her. Don't touch her.
>> Have a good day, sir. Have a good day.
Have a good day, sir.
>> You will not be.
>> Have a good day, sir.
>> I will.
>> I got you on video, so why don't you just
go ahead and leave.
>> I have the right to life, liberty and the
pursuit of-
>> Have a good day.
>> My happiness is best served,
>> Have a good day, sir.
>> By staring you in the face and saying you're
a fool.
>> Have a good day.
>> And wrong, you have no authority over me!
>> Quit spitting all over people.
>> Have a good day.
>> Quit spitting,
>> And when you got in my face, and threaten
to hit me, you were this
>> Because of you spitting in my face.
>> Ain't nobody threatened you.
>> Get out of the store.
>> You said you would!
>> You aren't even human, you're only animal.
>> Thank you.
>> And thus passes the godly man. So, like
there's more. You can go see it, it's like
three minutes long of him shouting and waving
his, that's like a grown, that's like a 65
year old man.
A godly man who lost everything that he had
on people swearing, like how many bleeps did
we have to add to that of him trying and failing
to intimidate that woman? Like, getting in
her face and she doesn't budge an inch against
that guy. And unfortunately in these dark
times of the pandemic, the customer is always
right wing.
It turns out, they're always a crazy right-winger.
>> Man.
>> He said one time, respect my rights and
no one else's. He said I have the right to
life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness
and my happiness is best served telling you
you're wrong and stupid. Those people work
at Walmart so they definitely don't get paid
enough to deal with that sort of individual.
>> There's so many things to say about this
video. One, quarantine'll do a number on your
brain as evidenced by that gentleman and his
orange sweatpants. It's hard out there, I
know. You need a new pair of sweat pants and
you didn't want to wear a mask and you've
been listening to Rush Limbaugh indoors for
too long.
I get it, your brain is mush. Great. Here's
the thing about all of this. It should not
be left to retail workers making a starting
wage of $11 an hour to try to extricate, to
get a customer who's being violent and and
abusive out of their store. It's not okay
from a corporate perspective, it's not okay
that Walmart is leaving their employees to
do this and it's not okay that the country
and the state and Alaska are not having an
armed guard or a police officer, a police
officer to get someone out of the store if
need be, if they're being violent like that.
It's absolutely not okay and I want to lift
up the work of an organization called United
for Respect. You can follow them, I believe,
@forrespect, and they're working with Amazon
workers and Walmart workers because they have
a lot of stories. Walmart Supercenters are
no man's lands. They're insane.
They're overcrowded. People don't respect
sort of, the amount of social distancing.
And we've seen these are once again, corporations
that are making hand over fist billions more
dollars than they were before this pandemic
started and the employees are not getting
any kind of hazard pay. That means no additional
pay.
There's a little bit of a bone that's thrown
like here's a little bit of a bonus, but it's
not a boost in their salary, which is already
incredibly low. So that's one, two is the
warped idea of your freedom, your life, liberty,
and the pursuit of happiness, which as you
mentioned, and that he said, my rights are
greater than yours.
Straight up pointing, like my rights are more
important in this moment than your rights,
my right to yell, my right to spread a virus,
my right to harm. No, man! That's not in the
Constitution actually. That is not part of
this country and how it was founded, right?
You don't just get the right to spread a virus
and put people at risk because you don't wanna
wear a mask. Because your individual rights
are being harmed and it's even more disgusting
in the ways that we've seen that white people
in this country whenever they want to have
a gun, whenever they want to go maskless their
rights are all constantly protected by police
officers and by others, in every kind of institution.
Whereas a black person if has a gun, Philando
Castille has a gun, a license to carry, he
gets shot dead, right? And so, many other
instances, black and brown Americans rights,
their individual rights are never respected.
>> Yeah.
>> And here he is yelling and spittling all
over what I believe to be a woman of color,
who is again just standing down with the utmost
bravery and grace and it should never be that
woman's job and I truly am serious.
I tweeted I want to send her on a spa day.
I want to give her something. I want to thank
her because she truly deserves it. So I would
like to know eventually her name and how people
can just support her just.
>> I mean, if she wants to come on the show.
>> Yeah. Come on TDR get, get, get over here,
or stay there.
>> Jen Jeffries replied to one of his videos
on Twitter saying can we talk about the woman
here having better de-escalation skills than
any cop ever?. Hundred percent.
>> So good.
>> That said, if he made a lot of bad decisions
there.
If he had tried to go beyond intimidation
to fighting her, I think that would have been
a horrible decision on his part, cuz she was
not scared at all of this old man who thinks
that because I'm angry and flailing my arms
I'm intimidating in some fashion. The only
intimidating thing about him is his willingness
to potentially spread a fatal illness to all
those around him.
And honestly, I know that there's thresholds
for this. But in a pandemic that's still killing
more than 1,000 people a day like, though,
when he gets in your face and is spitting
in your face and breathing on you, how is
that not assault in some form? And they didn't
touch him.
They didn't hurt him. But I can't expect that
most people would have that restraint to not
do that, knowing how many people have died,
how many people working at stores like Wal-Mart
have died.
>> Yes.
>> Man, they had more control than I think
almost anyone could be expected to.
Now, Wal-Mart put out a statement saying it's
unfortunate that this individual chose to
express their displeasure in such an inappropriate
manner. But we're proud our associates displayed
patience and professionalism as they navigated
this challenging situation.
>> Shut up.
>> What makes it challenging is maybe it's
changed very recently, but in July, Walmart
began stationing health ambassadors at the
entrance to their stores to encourage but
not require customers to wear masks.
Now, there might be local or state ordinances
that supercede that. But one way you can show
support for your employees is to make sure
that anyone who goes to work at Wal-Mart doesn't
have to worry about anyone being near them
without a mask. So that's what I would say.
And then again, this is not just about an
individual. That man is crazy, no matter what,
I get that. To do one of these Trader Joe
or Wal-Mart, losing your mind, Panera losing
your mind, that's crazy. No matter what. But
it becomes a little bit easier to understand
why they're crazy in this particular way,
when they are so often deceived into thinking
that their belief about the level of danger
posed by this pandemic is accurate.
So, that man thinks he should be able to walk
through Walmart without a mask today, maybe
partially because like three or four days
earlier, he had seen this and sees 1,500 people
sitting next to each other in an alternate
reality where the pandemic doesn't exist,
where they don't have to get tested.
They don't have to wear masks. If all of the
rich glitzy elites don't have to wear masks,
why would I have to wear one in a Wal-Mart?
And that was of course the point of that gathering.
Trump wanted to send the signal to everyone.
The pandemic's done, we've moved past it.
We're back in normal times, but we're not
back in normal times. We're not. You still
have to wear a mask, in Walmart, outside of
the White House, whatever. It was incredibly
irresponsible and it is encouraging people
to act in the way that we saw in that Wal-Mart.
>> Absolutely, someone get that dude a gaming
console man.
>> Yeah, just something.
>> stay home, use Instacart bruh.
>> Seriously, and there's obviously there's
the racial component to it. As you pointed
out, that woman as well as others in that
group of employees were people of color. And
of course it was not missed that he shouted
you're not even humans, you're animals.
Maybe he just meant all of them including
the white people, but maybe not. Maybe there's
a pretty clear racial component to 
that too.
