Man told to wear mask shoots Waffle House cook in Denver

Jesus, people are getting stupid.

Why would you ever think shooting someone is going to lead to a less unpleasurable result than either putting on the mask, or not getting the food?

America is a ticking time-bomb. The people there are so hung up on their right to be selfish that they are going to destroy their own country.

Burnish Bush there, more outraged by Muslims existing than the fact that a man was shot to death for asking a customer to do the absolute bare minimum to keep people safe.

A man is accused of shooting and wounding a Waffle House employee in suburban Denver the night after being asked to wear a face covering inside the restaurant, authorities said.

No doubt another one of the armed, domestic terrorists that are now roaming our cities...

You know, the ones wearing a MAGA hat with a confederate flag on the back...

Carrying a gun is a duty but wearing a mask isn't !!!

In America, a man with a gun can enter a waffle house. 

My God...what is America coming to?

Thanks God I am living in Japan!

There is no doubt you are wrong. You have taken your anti-white anti-Trump agenda and turned it up to 11.

In some countries more people die from lock downs than the virus.

just another example.

A white man most likely

Haven’t figured out the ole MSM tricks yet eh? You can be sure if it was a white man shooting a black person, it would have been clearly mentioned in the propaganda. In this case, it was a black shooter, so race is Conveniently unimportant.

Well, this sure makes for a darn fine argument for the 2nd Amendment and our right to carry guns...

Just think, if there would have been 20 or more armed "Open Up" Trump supporters there with assault rifles, they could have unloaded their magazines and shot that fella dead...

Would have likely killed every other patron in the restaurant, but that's the price of freedom...

MAGA...

but there werent, in reality.

Strange how liberals feel the need to make up a story about MAGA and Confederate flags to try to interject Trump supporters into something they had nothing to do with. Not even an apology for the fake news earlier that a 2 second search could have told you was incorrect.

wear a mask even if you dont need it, to protect others- good and in some places, mandatory

carry a gun even if you dont need it, to protect others- you are a terrible person who likely supports Trump

wear a mask even if you dont need it, to protect others- good and in some places, mandatory

carry a gun even if you dont need it, to protect others- you are a terrible person who likely supports Trump

The difference being that if you make a mistake with the mask, there's unlikely to be much harm done.

Make a mistake with the gun and people are very dead, very quick.

Yes.

Maybe you should have spent more time: this news article doesn't mention his political affiliation. Unless you have some reason for inferring this person doesn't support Trump from the article?

Horrible. Hope the victim recovers soon.

I love watching and reading tales of the Wild West but sometimes it feels like parts of America never got beyond the shoot 'em up stage.

I'm worried this powderkeg is set to explode.

This has nothing to do with liberals. It has everything to do with the gun cult that blights the US.

Whatever his political affiliation is, it has nothing to do with this incident. The suspect sounds like a pretty unsavoury character, and was a suspect in a previous shooting at a towing facility that had towed his BMW.

They had much more gun control in the 'wild west'.

"Carrying any kind of weapon, guns or knives, was not allowed other than outside town borders and inside the home. When visitors left their weapons with a law officer upon entering town, they'd receive a token, like a coat check, which they'd exchange for their guns when leaving town."

America's legacy is the gun. It's been romanticized and a part of American history. Shootings and death are a part of Americana, her lore and future. For the rest of the world, of which many Americans really don't care nor respect enough, guns are backwards, dangerous and scary. Killing machines that the world opinion scoff at Americans who say, 'guns don't kill people, people kill people'. The idea one needs guns to protect oneself from other guns is a circle of the absurd. In the meantime, accidents and killings go on and on. Many Americans twist the numbers or ignore them entirely.

Americans are now using race and politics to either blame or avoid blame. America needs to change for the better. It certainly has become a country of infighting, and the liberal/conservative discord is closing in on insurgency/govt. type hate, with threats of weapons and guns that could well lead to future outbreaks of violence. In a country supposedly so good, many bad human qualities are over taking it, twisting truth into lies and goodness into bias and anger. As the mentality of America is so unbalanced, guns are scarier than ever.

People in America think they need guns and they don't even understand why that is scary, which is the real scary part.

It is interesting that the far right of politics (and possibly the left as well) sees a black face and assumes that his political opinions are clear.

Definitely, refusing to wear a mask is something that we normally associate with the extremist libertarian wing of the MAGA/ tea party loons (and other puppets of the insane Koch brothers), and that is predominantly a white phenomenon.

... but he certainly does not look the type of guy who would be carrying a confederate flag...

the old bait and switch. The poster said there is "no doubt" the shooter is a domestic terrorist and a wearer of a MAGA hat with the confederate flag on the back.

Now proven wrong by a picture of a black face, liberals need to hide behind "we cant know his political affiliation". which wasnt even what was said in the first place. I can guarantee this person is neither a domestic terrorist nor the owner of a MAGA hat with a confederate flag on the back. If such a hat even exists, which I have never seen or heard of.

The workers and the workplace are fearful of getting sick

That's why they want folks to wear a mask before they service

No shirt, No shoes, No mask, No service

Now proven wrong by a picture of a black face

More racial profiling from Blacklabel. First all black people are racists because they voted for Obama, now this. Tsk, tsk, tsk.

What is it about Trump that you think makes him the natural enemy of black people, in your view?

again, it was the MAGA hat with the confederate flag claim from your buddy that is false. obviously.

thats not racial profiling, just fact. As I said, the shooter could well be a Trump supporter. But as he didnt identify himself as such and neither did the article, and the motivation wasnt racial but about a mask, its irrelevant.

How do you know its false? This guy could have just come back from his Trump "Let's Open Up" protest and terrorize rally...

Who else but Trump gun nutters walk around armed and with a bad attitude? he probably ordered hydroxichloroquine with his pancakes and when they said they didn't have any, he pulled out his gun...

uh huh sure. good luck getting anyone to believe that nonsense.

uh huh sure. good luck getting anyone to believe that nonsense.

That's what you and your fellow Trump supporters don't get - I'm not interested in getting anyone to believe it...

They can read it and judge for themselves - versus repeating what the Trump hive-mind requires all its cult members to believe and repeat, like far-right bots...

Verdict is in. Just as always, turns out he was a registered republican. Just like all mass shooters since 2016.

Strangerland,

Can you link to your sources re; Watson’s party membership, and mass shooters’ affiliations? Not that this was a mass shooting, of course. And not that it really matters.

It's been well publicized.

So it should be easy then.

Yep.

Drug dealers, pimps, thugs, robbers, ...

Well, it’s on you to prove what you said. I can’t find anything to verify what you said about this shooter, but as for your ‘all mass shooters since 2016’ claim, Politifact “found very few cases in which the political affiliation of the shooter could be verified.”

Besides,

“Alan Lipman, professor at George Washington University Medical Center and founder of the Center for the Study of Violence. (said...)

"Their motives are almost always, without exception, nonpolitical. And they don’t describe themselves as having a particular political motivation,"

A small plea to all posters. Please lay off the left/right/liberal/conservative/maga/whatever stuff on stories like these. When someone kills another in circumstances like these, I think we can understand the person has severe mental issues. A dangerous nutter is just that. Whether they declare any political preferences or not is immaterial. And assigning a political cause to the person's behavior is pointless unless some group is advocating the shooting of innocents.

It's a sad story. I hope we can all agree on that.

(Sorry if I seem to be preaching. But sometimes the comments on these threads depress me.)

But not typically in Japan, where guns are largely prohibited. In Japan these criminal elements are largely gun free.

Are you suggesting the only (or main) difference between Japan and US is gun prohibition?
