How can you eat a burrito while wearing a mask? I hope they caught these assholes

I agree.

That's why food establishments (non Supermarket places) should only be opened up as Takeaways only for the time being while procedures are in place as it's not safe to have a crowded Taco Bell or Burger King at the moment.

What was the outcome, did anyone get charged?

Also, since when do you have to wear masks outdoors?

Exactly, the far-right coffee wielding pair deserve to catch Corona for behaving like this. Even if this was indoors there's no need whatsoever to react like this. Odious pair I wish not to meet because I'd have given the boyfriend AND the girlfriend more than a bust nose.

It states on Reddit that the police made the coffee couple apologise after seeing the footage, so at least that's one thing

Should have done more than made them apologise, that's assault. Also, even if he was inside he would still have to take his mask off to eat, I don't get their logic

I don't think the video shows the whole story tbh, the guy with the woman says at the start that the two filming called them "pussies" for wearing face masks (before the video convientely starts to make it look like they were randomly approached). I think the couple got baited and stupidly gave them the reaction they were seeking.

I think it does show the whole story which is why I'm bewildered about anyone really taking either side. The guys sitting down quite clearly express that they have a "different view" on wearing masks and don't wear them... not just while eating. The guy who goes on the attack also starts punching the boyfriend when it was clearly the girl who threw the coffee... he flips back and forth between saying it was the guy (for the benefit of the 911 operator on the phone, I assume) and admitting that he knows it was the girl - which we can clearly see in the video - and stating that he attacked the boyfriend because he's not going to go straight for the girl... and acts like this is normal logic. Bizarre.

On the other hand... the couple have 1) taken it upon themselves to police others (which is fine, but you only need to make one comment)... 2) Thrown coffee over someone which yes is assault in the first place and then 3) the boyfriend called in the cops when - although nothing justifies a physical attack in retaliation - it was clearly his girlfriend who escalated the fight from words to physical actions. I can only assume that they didn't know they were being filmed and just planned to flat out lie about that. She tried to claim that the coffee spilled on her boyfriend during the punching and wasn't thrown.


So yeah I think the video shows it all and I think they're ALL a bunch of arseholes, in different ways.

some people need a good smack to the face

[user104658]

Well, it's not just because they're eating, they do state that they're anti-maskers, one of them does get excessively violent (and the "well the girl threw coffee at me - of course I'm going to punch her boyfriend" line is ****ing stupid), but then also there's no excuse for throwing hot coffee over someone.

Honestly for me this is one of those situations where everyone involved is a detestable sh**. Yukk.

If someone chooses not to wear a mask then they are risking their health not yours if you are wearing one.

People should learn to mind their own business.

Masks are worn to primarily protect others, so that's why we rely on everyone else to wear them to protect us.

I don’t believe that because doctors and nurses wear them to protect themselves from catching it off patients.

So the same logic has to apply to everyone.

I suppose... if you don't understand PPE, the science that lead to the recommendation of wearing masks in public, and also, logic.

The primary purpose of masks is to catch respiratory droplets containing covid that come from the wearer (and reportedly reduce transmission rates by up to 90%). They have a secondary function of protecting the wearer from others - far less effective, about 30%.

Masks are a SMALL part of full medical PPE.

You don't have to believe me if you don't want to, but look it up.

Yeah, I thought that was pretty common knowledge

I get pissed off when people are not wearing masks. 1- they protect others from you when you wear them, not the other way round and because if people keep spreading this virus by not wearing masks we will never get back to normal. It's not about minding your own business in this circumstance in my opinion, this virus and getting rid of it is everyone's business and should be everyone's priority

Yes. if you wear a stab vest it’s it’s not protect you but the other person that’s not wearing one.

All you have to do is google it, rather than insisting you're right about something you're wrong about.

Being stabbed is nothing like catching a virus.

I would've thought the difference between a protective clothing against bullets / knife attacks, and paraphernalia that restricts the spread of contagious diseases, was a little obvious

What a stupid analogy
