Grocery store worker reportedly used pepper spray on customer who refused to wear mask, became confrontational

BY MARTY JOHNSON - 07/16/20 10:31 AM EDT
A Los Angeles grocery store reportedly saw an ugly confrontation on Wednesday when an employee pepper-sprayed a customer who refused to wear a mask.

Los Angeles County has made it a requirement to wear facial coverings while in public in an attempt to curb the spread of COVID-19, and a store employee had informed the man that he had to wear a mask or leave, CBS Los Angeles reported.

The man allegedly refused and then began to ram a woman with his shopping cart. This prompted an employee to pepper spray the man and call the police.

"I was just coming down to the end of an aisle and all of a sudden I heard some commotion and people were getting in the aisle," a witness told CBS News. "I looked down there and there was this guy just yelling at someone, and then all of a sudden you see him, you know, take the handles of his cart and just try to ram this woman."

1. I carry a well disguised cylinder on my keys. If someone became violent in this way toward me...

I would do just the same.

So, idiot Trumpsters, beware.

2. Headline is a bit misleading, it looks like the employee pepper-sprayed the guy

because he rammed a woman with his shopping cart, not because he refused to wear a mask.

8. Different source, slightly different details

snip--"According to witnesses, a man tried to enter a Ralph’s location in Los Angeles without wearing a face mask, which is required by local law. When a female employee told him to either put on a face mask or leave the store, he allegedly became combative, ramming the woman with a shopping cart."


snip--"Another woman tried to push the man out of the way, but he continued his violent tirade. It was then that a store employee sprayed the man with pepper spray to subdue him. According to Newsweek, it’s unclear, as of this writing, if the employee who pepper-sprayed the man was the same employee he was allegedly trying to ram with a grocery cart. "

snip--"An employee called the police and the man was taken to a hospital as a precaution. It remains unclear, as of this writing, if he will face any criminal charges."

10. Good. The no-masker was probably going to spit next.

That seems to be their go to when cornered. I'm glad all of that was nipped in the bud. I'm soooooo disappointed in some of my fellow Americans right now. The stupidity has reached epic proportions.

11. WTH is wrong with people? Why is wearing a mask a reason for violence?

I was in Walmart yesterday and those not wearing a mask were the majority. I just don't get it. Monday is going to be interesting.

22. Sounds like a plan.

Enough cases like that and the no maskers might stop their BS.

[GopherGal]

24. No blood from a stone

The only flaw is the inherent assumption that the said trumpsters have asses/assets worth suing for.
I guess start by taking the operation to upscale neighborhoods...

19. At times I carry pepper spray too

23. Check the laws in your state before you carry or use pepper spray.

Sounds like was done here was within the law in California.
