(21,737 posts)3. Unmasked young man at Walmart walked up to me, a perfect stranger (and masked) and said
"I will not conform. You cannot make me. I am a free man." in an almost robotic monotone.

Later I saw him in a different part of the store saying the same to another masked customer.
I saw no point in engaging.

Otherwise no engagement at all. What a freak.
