HOLLY, Mich. - Police in one Michigan community are searching for a man who they said wiped his nose on a retail employees shirt after he was told to wear a mask. The Holly Police Department released a video showing a man inside a Dollar Tree walking over to the clerk and wiping his nose on the employees right sleeve.
Investigators said the employee asked the customer to wear a mask, and there are signs posted on the stores entry doors instructing people to follow the policy.
The man is accused of telling the clerk, Here, I will use this as a mask, before wiping his nose. Witnesses said he was also loud and disruptive before leaving the dollar store.
Police are asking the public to contact the department if they have any information on the suspect. He is facing an assault charge.
Holly is located in Oakland County, which has reported more than 7,500 COVID-19 cases, according to Johns Hopkins. As of Monday morning, 757 people have died in the county.

(86,775 posts)that fucker would have been out cold on the floor before he had a chance to finish his sentence if he tried that with me. Any person who reaches out to physically touch me is a candidate for an ambulance ride... and someone else will have to call 911 for them.

(4,379 posts)That would be an instinctive, self defense, don't even think about it , punch to his face. Some people have lost all respect. They think they can say or do anything and no one will respond. It doesn't work that way.

(86,775 posts)diminutive size so it's quite a shock when they find themselves on the ground. I used to land a mean roundhouse back in my younger days but I was given self defense training a long time ago, it's good to know.

(4,379 posts)I am also on the small side I had no choice but to fight when I was young. If a bully picked on me and father found out that I did not fight back, my father would have knocked me into next week.
My father was short, but he was built like a silver back. You did not want to piss him off. He was also a marine.

Cant believe she didnt even recoil from him.

(12,480 posts)When people get assaulted they freeze. When I got assaulted one time I froze.
Other times when I dealt with an assailant who knew better than to grab me. I knocked her out with one punch, apparently, I triggered blacked out and she ended up on the floor out cold.I can fight because I had to to survive,but even though I can kick ass sometimes I freeze. I have PTSD.

(4,568 posts)i.e. didn't know how to react.
There is a lot of tough talking on this thread which makes me wonder if some here share perhaps a little in common with the ones they want to retaliate against. With all the open/concealed carry wackos around, I would be reluctant to provoke a situation that might turn out to be deadly.
Just my opinion....

(38,445 posts)This particular fellow should not be too hard to find. Especially if he is a regular customer in this store.
What do you think will happen to him?? I haven't got a clue, just asking...

(2,225 posts)After hearing about all of the nastiness going on with the masks Ive decided that if anyone approaches me with ill intent or wont get out of my space after Ive asked, that I will pitch a royal yelling, loud fit right in front of everyone in whatever establishment it happens. Im too old for this crap. (If someone had tried to wipe anything on me like he did that girl I think Id have slapped the piss out of him. Just knee jerk reaction) I just wanted to give Mr Poo fair warning about my intentions.
