Law Firm Worker Fired After Posting Threat About Face Mask Requirements
Courthouse News Service ^ | 5/10/20

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.

Any business that tells me to put on a mask (Whole Foods on Lomo Alto) in Dallas will get told to kiss my Corona ass and will lose my business forever,” Bain allegedly wrote. “It’s time to stop this BULLSHIT. Do I have to show the lame security guard outside of a ghetto store my CV19 test result?”

The post threatens to “show him my Glock 21” handgun shooting range results.

“With Hornady hollow points. Pricey ammo, but worth it in this situation” Bain allegedly wrote. “They have reached the limit. I have more power than they do … they just don’t know it yet.”

Indeed.
He was just fine until he got to the “show them my Glock” portion of the rant. It was all downhill from there.

Low IQ. Random, incomplete thoughts poorly expressed.

A few bucks matter to this winner, lol. On top of that he hasn't thought through it'll be the last box of ammo he'll buy. May as well splurge on a mag of pricey. Dope.

Lose his business? What if all the hemp dispensaries require masks? Lol! Or groceries?

I think there is more BS to this virus than anyone's imagining but I respect other's rules when on other's property. I get how it doesn't matter how I feel, wearing a mask shows respect. And since no one knows I won't bet on my beliefs with others fear, justified or not.

Well, to be fair, that’s a really good pistola.

I simply cannot grasp the emotional reaction to asking someone to wear a mask indoors in public spaces.

I wear a mask in public for the same reason that I wear pants in public. It keeps other people from feeling uncomfortable. It’s really just a matter of common courtesy right now.

The indoctrinators are good. Just a short time ago, nobody wore masks and no one was complaining. Trying to blackmail people with “feelings” was frowned on.

Not anymore. Another battle won. Feelings rule now.

Maybe you can grasp the response to overbearing tyrannical government taking our rights and civil liberties without representation? Americans used to have a problem with that

What you say was true. But now the masters have found the secret. They make their sheep feel secure. Wearing masks serve the same purpose as giving a pacifier to a baby. And are just as useful. But they make the baby feel satisfied, safe, secure, happy, and occupied.

The post this topic is discussing wasn’t about governments doing anything. It was about a guy angry that certain private businesses had specific requirements for customers wishing to enter their private property. His response was to start ranting about guns and shooting, with vague threats tossed in just for good measure.

I totally get it if someone wants to boycott a business for having policies they don’t like. There’s plenty of businesses I won’t interact with at all (e.g. Dicks) for having policies I don’t like (e.g. virtue signaling by making a big public deal about not selling “assault weapons”). But those businesses have every right to control what happens on their own private property right down to mandating the attire one must wear in order to enter. And nobody - this lunatic included - should be threatening to bring guns into the situation as a result of private business policy. All that does is make it easier for the left to paint us all as insane and untrustworthy to exercise our Second Amendment rights peacefully.

Right, me neither. Hysteria isn’t helpful.

>>I think there is more BS to this virus than anyone’s imagining but I respect other’s rules when on other’s property. I get how it doesn’t matter how I feel, wearing a mask shows respect.

would that go for halal restaurant chains (like Church’s Fried Chicken as at a point) if they insist all women must conceal their face to enter?

Let’s see how Taiwan is doing:

Zero local COVID-19 cases for 28th day

No new COVID-19 cases were reported yesterday, marking the 28th day with no domestic cases reported in the nation, Minister of Health and Welfare Chen Shih-chung said yesterday.

“Today is also Mother’s Day, so we would like to present our record of no domestic cases having been reported in 28 consecutive days as a gift for all mothers, hoping that everyone can feel safer,” said Chen, who heads the Central Epidemic Command Center (CECC).

However, people should not let their guard down and should thoroughly practice the “new disease prevention lifestyle” to achieve an even higher level of safety, he said.

The death rate of COVID-19 in Taiwan is about 0.3 per million population, against a global average of 36 per million population, he added.

Chen also said that people can preorder masks for children aged four or younger through the government’s online platforms or at convenience stores from Monday to Wednesday next week, and pick them up at convenience stores from May 25 to June 7.

The masks’ dimensions are 12.7cm by 8cm, he added.

The masks currently being sold at designated pharmacies, convenience stores, and on the government’s eMask Web site and Express mobile app are for adults and children aged four to eight.

The government on April 23 decided to supply smaller masks in response to complaints from parents nationwide about having difficulty finding masks for younger children.

Yeah, why would we want to have zero new Covid cases in the past month, like Taiwan?

For Americans, true freedom means the freedom for asymptomatic carriers to spread Covid anywhere they want, right? That's what you're saying?

See text of story above.

"Zero local COVID-19 cases for 28th day"

I saw my neighbor, a working nurse, in the grocery store with no mask, no gloves and I figured, if she ain’t scared, neither am I. Ditched my mask. Still offer one to clients if they want it. And offer hand sanitizer.
