FORT MYERS, Fla. — A raging mask debate during  an incident at a Florida Costco was captured on video June 27 and went viral Monday night with almost 10 million views. The tirade cost a man his job.

A man wearing a red, “Running the world since 1776” T-shirt, dark shorts and flip flops was seen yelling “I feel threatened!” and “Back up! Back the (expletive) up and put your (expletive) phone down!” He glared at the camera after a female shopper had asked him to comply with Costco’s mask policy. 

Another man took out his cellphone and captured the yelling.

Billy Corben, a Fort Myers native and documentary filmmaker who lives in Miami, had obtained the video from the man who filmed it Monday. The man who filmed it declined to be identified. Corben tweeted the video to his 82,000 followers. He often shares outlandish stories and videos with the hashtag #BecauseFlorida.

8. And yet he's the one who's approaching HER.

I think HER is the key word here. You just know this chickenshit coward would never act like that toward a man, unless perhaps the man was disabled or elderly.

he can claim self defense becsuse he felt threatened.
