Dunkin' Donuts to Require Masks; Trump-Loving Pastor Made Violent Threat Toward Employee

[left-of-center2012]

Dunkin’ Donuts announced Thursday that it will require all guests to wear masks in its stores. The announcement came a few days after Trump-loving, gay-hating pastor Greg Locke posted a video rant on social media in which he said he had threatened to knock a Dunkin’ Donuts employee’s teeth down his throat. According to Locke, the employee — whom he referred to as “Nazi Skippy” — asked him to wear a mask the next time he’s in the store.

Locke said that after the employee initially asked him to wear a mask, “I was doing everything I could, spiritually, not to come over the counter, and still be a pastor in public, because I’m sure there are cameras everywhere, because people recognize me all over the place.” In his video about the Dunkin’ Donuts incident, he said he’s also willing to go to jail over mask requirements.

“I’ll go to jail over this situation,” he said. “It is the golden calf. I’m sick of Christians saying things like, ‘Well, it’s just a mask.’ No, it’s not just a mask. It’s a compliance device. This is not about safety. This is about surrendering our rights.”

“Can I remind you, this is still the United States of America? This is not communism,” Locke added. “This is the United States of America! Y’all hear me? Trump 2020!”

1. since he posted his intent, the franchise owner should take it as a threat & preemptively ban him.

2. "...I'm sure there are cameras everywhere...

because people recognize me all over the place."

Wow. Really? So you agree with me that gawd don't do shit...you fuckin' hypocrite coward. And put your money where your mouth is and "go to jail over this situation”.

[onethatcares]

3. he only wants to be a pastor in public

privately I bet he makes Jesus weep.

[Cirque du So-What]

13. Publicly

he’s not doing Jesus any favors either.

[Mickju]

4. Typical Christian hypocrite

How can these idiots not see that they are nothing like Jesus? (I am totally non-religious.)

[Mariana]

10. Actually, according to the Gospel stories

when Jesus was offended by the presence of the money changers on the Temple grounds, he flew into a rage, constructed a weapon, and attacked the people and the animals. Then he vandalized the place. Their behavior is not so different after all, is it?

5. I am dumbfounded at these people who think being required to wear a mask

as a matter of public health infringes on their rights in some way. The government also requires ordinary citizens to do other things for the sake of public health and safety, including:

Stopping at stop signs
Observing speed limits
Wearing seat belts
Wearing clothes in public
Not relieving yourself in the street

If it doesn't bother you that the law says you have to wear pants in the grocery store and not shit in the parking lot, why the hissy fits about masks? Doesn't it infringe on your rights and your bodily autonomy to have to buy clothes and to go to the trouble of finding a bathroom when nature calls?

6. There's a lot of us "Skippy's" out here, Rev. In your case, the "Rev" stands for

"Revolting".

[underpants]

7. Drive thru near here raking it in. Saw people inside waiting with no masks on

Good. People should be in there for about 2 minutes

[A HERETIC I AM]

8. Again with the "Surrender our (my) rights" bullshit.

Can someone please tell me exactly what rights are given up by wearing a mask?

Or even complying with a private business’ request to wear one?

I was in a grocery store yesterday and there was exactly TWO people NOT wearing a mask;

One was a toddler in the kiddie seat of the grocery cart and the other was a young woman in her early 30’s who I asked for an autograph.

I told her she must be a superhero or something because she was the only person not wearing a mask in the entire store and she gave me that “It’s infringing on my rights” bullshit.

I just don’t get it. What fucking rights are being infringed upon? Those idiots are free to be idiots all day long!

Anyone?

[dchill]

9. "because I'm sure there are cameras everywhere..."

This guy thinks JUST LIKE JESUS! Amirite?

[gratuitous]

12. Sounds like Greg thinks he has a deal with Jesus

When Greg wants to do something not quite pastoral, Jesus looks the other way. But those gosh darn cameras aren't like Jesus at all! They would have captured his violent selfishness for everyone to see.

[dchill]

15. Cameras, unlike Jesus, are not forgiving.

Not only is Greg Locke sure of what his rights are, he's DAMN sure what everyone else's rights are NOT.

[dawg]

11. I'm so sick of these people whining about their "rights".

There is no "right" to donuts!

There are only three rights: free speech, not to be killed, and food money.

[left-of-center2012]

17. add 'housing'

[dawg]

18. I can't. There are only three rights, but ...

it has been suggested in some quarters, that this is not enough!

[AllaN01Bear]

14. this pastors church needs to loose its non profit protection, sigh. wont happen.

male version of karen. should we call them carl.?

[dchill]

16. We could call them "Donalds." Or "Adolphs."

[magicarpet]

20. I'm going to drive all the way to Vegas on the wrong side of the road, because JESUS.
