He was fired from his job for posting this on Facebook yesterday.
I hope the company he worked for has protection.
But ‘Murcia! Guns! Libtards taking away my rights!
Stupid fuckers.

Not surprised. This was where all of this rhetoric and brandishing weapons was headed from the beginning.

Idiot enough he got fired!
DALLAS (CN) – The Thompson & Knight law firm fired a Dallas-based administrative manager Friday after he allegedly posted a threat on social media against businesses with Covid-19 face mask requirements that had references to a handgun and hollow point-bullets.
Screenshots of the “no more masks” rant began appearing on Twitter Friday, with several users claiming it was authored by a Kevin Bain. Bain has worked since 2009 as the law firm’s document services manager, according to his Linkedin profile.

That's just effing scary.
You don't want to wear a mask, don't go to a business requiring it. But to threaten to shoot the poor kid working at Kroger over it?
I both love and hate humanity.

I would like to note a few things.
One, this protest isn't about keeping your job. He had a job.
Two, this wasn't about not being able to buy his groceries. He could buy his groceries.
Three, this isn't about being permitted to do whatever he wants in Whole Foods. Whole Foods probably isn't going to let you in without shoes or a shirt (I don't actually know, but those are the general hygiene rules, yes?) If he went in there and licked the fruit or spit on something, they'd toss him right out and he knows it. I've personally seen security escort people out of my local grocery (which isn't WF but is another chain) on multiple occasions, often for doing nothing more than standing around looking like they're not shopping with any particular haste.
So, what is refusing to wear a mask about, exactly?

That’s just sad and gross. What kind of human is so cavalier about planning to shoot an innocent employee?

I liked Hillary and I didn't think she should have said that, but given what's going on in today's world, it was a minor nothing. This guy seems seriously insane. I am assuming that if a group of lawyers fired him, they are pretty sure that the guy really wrote that stuff. And I agree with the other poster who said it's not just the white guys who are idiots, but sometimes it certainly seems that way. It just really bugs me to put race down on anything unless you had to give a description to the police. |

Aren’t these types of things considered a terrorist threat? Is he not getting a police visit? It’s awesome that he lost his job, but shouldn’t this nut be an example to others for what can happen for spouting shit like this?

I didn’t take issue with your statement? Other than to point out you do indeed speak broadly for all Americans, unlike you try to claim. I take issue with disgusting individuals like that weak excuse for a human. |

Obviously unstable. Obviously irresponsible. Obviously can’t be trusted to honour the lives of others. |

What does white have to do with it? Title should just be entitled idiots.... Because if a non white entitled idiot posted about bringing a gun to a store they’d be arrested for making threats. Despite the fact that most mass shooters are white men. This guy should be arrested for the threats he made. Period. |

That sounds like most in our area at least those that are vocal. They went on so much that our county board of supervisors voted to rescind all health orders including masks snd social distancing.
Some stores were requiring them but other than Costco I don’t know who is anymore. I won’t go in Costco right now. Went to Ralphs a few times last week to use their pharmacy and grab a few things I couldn’t get from Walmart pickup. Everyone was masked and social distancing but now I’m not sure I want to attempt them again several people were actually yelling at those with masks over the weekend calling them sheep and getting in their face. Seriously I’m wearing to protect others why should you care that I’m being courteous it’s not hurting them.
We have only gone out for grocery pickups and I was hoping to do a curbside food pickup or two soon.
ETA. I didn’t read all the comments. I don’t think anyone is threatening with shooting anyone up here at least I haven’t seen that. Just really irate that anyone is wearing a mask.

It was determined no laws were broken. If the threat had gone through the post office instead of email it would have been a crime. My opinion, if you make death threats, you lose your right to own guns |

My opinion, if you make death threats, you lose your right to own guns How the hell is it not a crime to threaten to kill people? They could at least charge them with aggravated menacing and could make a case for terroristic threats. I can guarantee every jurisdiction has some form of both crimes. |

Crap? This is becoming more prevalent. Discussion keeps people aware, conversations are had, it is becoming our new reality. And it scares the ever living fuck out of me. Seeing what is being eroded every damn day in our country is killing the hope many have for a safe future. This kind of person weighs on me heavily—it can happen everywhere and those who are violating all sorts of things—whether it is a hairdresser violating a governors orders (for her own profit and political statement), to a fucking idiot racist potus, a AG who us dismantling the law of the land, to Ahmaud Arbery’s murderers, to people like I posted in the OP—all of who are not being held accountable or responsible, all who are getting more and more aggressive and violent every day, albeit in their rhetoric and/or actions. It is scaring me to death. I lose sleep. I think about leaving the country. I think about hiding. I think about the affects it will have in my family. I think about leaving Earth. (I’m not suicidal or wanting to end my life I’ve just been thinking about not being able to live with this continual shit every day). I’m scared. |

What does white have to do with it? Title should just be entitled idiots.... I think it’s likely a response to what’s been in the news lately. Black guy in Georgia “doesn’t respond to commands” from some yahoos (white) with a gun, they kill him and the DA says they were defending themselves. Black guy picks up a gun in the sporting goods department at Walmart and before he can pay for it, the police have been called and they shoot him dead. White guy threatens to shoot the cashier at Whole Foods because the store requires masks, and everyone shrugs and moves on. I think that is why people are feeling a little sensitive about race these days in this country. Pretending the issue isn’t there doesn’t make it go away.  |
