In reply to the discussion: City of Stillwater drops mask requirement after businesses threatened [View all]cayugafalls
(5,631 posts)43. They are allowing these idiots to intimidate and by not arresting them for unlawful threats
they are making the case that it is OK to threaten others to get their way.
This emboldens other idiots to act the same way and will only lead to more unlawfulness as these fools think they can get away with anything.
Living in an open carry state, this makes me fearful.
Can I talk back to an idiot if they confront me in a grocery store for wearing masks and gloves? Will they pull a gun on me?
It is time to arrest and detain these idiots for violating the rules.
Everyday, I feel more doomed than the last...smdh
