So I was at a Meijer doing some quick shopping for a couple things I forgot from yesterday's trip. I'm down the spice Isle when some white (mid 20's-early 30s) asshole with face tattoo's (the kind where he looks like he belongs in prison) walks by me and says "hey, you need to wear a mask". I reply with "No I don't, but thanks anyways." hoping he will just keep walking. As he keeps walking he tells me "it's the law" to which I reply "No it's not."
He then stops and starts to back track half the isle slowly 3towards asking why I thought that. I told him how Whitmer's order's were ruled unconstitutional, and the Health department had no legal right or recourse to do the same. I tell him it's none of my business what I do and to please carry on his way. He continues to question me about it and push the issue, still walking closer to me. I'm on a crutch and need assistance from walking from an injury earlier this year and was only planning on it being a quick trip to grab no more than 3 items.
He questions me further with a bunch of nonsense I simply tell him to go about his business, carry on, and don't know why you people have to go out of your way to harass me. Keeping in mind he's white as a snow flake, he responds with "what do you mean you people" as if I just called him a n**ger or something.
I can tell he's trying to escalate towards violence when he after I tell him for the 3rd time to leave me alone and go about his business he says "what are you gonna do about it?" The older woman he was with(probably his mom, or his GF's Mom) comes back and tells him "you don't engage with ignorant people" (clearly directing it at me while trying to rein in this man child) and try's to bring him back down the isle.
He's still making snide little remarks and I reply to him saying "why don't I get a store director to see what they say about you harassing me?" He says "why so they can tell you to put on a fucking mask" I then reply to the the mom and I reply to her "yea I should have known better than to engage with a flock of sheep" and round the corner not even getting the item I was after.
I went to the service desk and filed a complaint on the situation right after I rounded the corner getting away from that fuckery.
My blood is still boiling from it and I can feel my muscles starting to tense and pump up from it the same way from when I was getting shot at over seas. Same kind of rush that anyone who's seen combat knows some one on the other end is about to die. Not trying to "LARP" or any bullshit like some on here might think. I purposefully try to avoid those kinds of confrontations, not for my safety, but for theirs.
Seriously. Why. The fuck. Can't these asshole, piece of shit, faggot, brainless, spineless, heartless, dickless, congealed clumps of leftist trash jellyfish NOT LEAVE OTHER PEOPLE THE FUCK ALONE?!
I don't know if he was armed or not, he was wearing a hoodie, and didn't appear to have anything, but I didn't know for sure.
If he would have 'swung' on me, I know exactly what I would have done, deflect the initial blow(wide swing), pop in the nose to disorientate with one hand, then with the other, grab him by the neck with force, pick him up in a forward motion and slam him as hard as I could on the tile floor, then repeatedly smash his head on the tile till he stops resisting.
Idiot jailbait (wannabe or not) always try to 'play cool' then take a big wind up/swing hoping they catch you off guard and sucker punch you.
If I was armed, I would have started backing up, raised my voice, commanded him to stop pursuing, If he failed to comply and got closer than I thought safe, would have pulled it out and commanded him to get on the ground. If he tried to attack me, I'd shoot to stop, or run out of ammo, which ever happened first.
No one said anything to me when I forgot in 2 stores probably because the state is relaxing their enforcement.
One guy with tats was hassling me at a Home Depot about some drywall and i said, I got it. then he kept on and I said, leave me alone. He said one more thing and I said, just keep doing what you were doing before and I got it.
They want to push you and get off on you getting freaked out. But calm is the way to go. Your training would be an asset, because you are trained not to telegraph. I have to mondaymorning QB a lot of this because I wasn't trained, I had to pay people to beat me up and even then I think that doesn't do a whole lotta good.
Better to flow like water and act, than react.
Confucius also says "A Man who lives in fear dies a thousand times". Wish I could say lefties have read this, but they probably got triggered by the first 2 words.
