Hope he in jail for a long time

Definitely a cement head.

$100 says he’s a Trump voter.

Had a guy do this at a grocery store here - along with a racist rant and threatening police - wasn't charged. Very likely drunk, high, or mentally disturbed, though.

Good on the charge! Now throw his nasty ass in lockup where he should REALLY worry about the virus! WeReapWhatWeSow

I would've beat his ass!

Florida 🤪

Yep. Education does matter

Hmmm, again that oh so true remark, ”you can’t help stupid”!

Ah, yes, 'Florida Man' the shape shifting super villain finally surfaces during the crisis.

Force him to work with the infected in hospitals.Actually, If same in US, put him in Military with those recalled awaiting deployment instructions. He can deal with handling mass dead bodies + hard core 'Service'.They'll all sort him! Reduce economic strain of penal expenses too

Only in Florida folks ....

All you needed to see was a FLORIDA man and you know it wasnt going to be anything good

MAGA KAGA2020 MAGA2020 KAGA

The Florida Man strikes again in the latest episode of Quarantine Crazy 😂

Good luck proving an 'intentional cough' in court.

SOB

There is a cop in Baltimore, on video, doing the same thing. Wonder what punishment he'll get.

Why don’t they allow these idiots to wear their MAGA hats for the mugshot...?

What a Jerk

Lock him up and throw away the key.

Jack-off !!!

Piece of $%^%^% human! Hope he gets at least 10 Years!

Too bad he's not in TX! His dumbass would be charged as a terrorist! An 18-yrs-old woman was charged for a 'terrorist threat' after going on Snapchat, claiming to have COVID-19 & that she was going to go cough on ppl in public! She didn't have it nor do it. Glad she got caught.

It must be something in the water in FL. SMH.

Doesn't Florida have that stand your ground law. If this ass threatened to shoot them with a gun and they fired first, they should be found not guilty. Another fine example of a maga. How do I assume it was a trumper? Because they are stupid enough to do something like this

Because Florida.

adje__ Are you okay Archer96Danny

I take a deplorable trailer trash trump supporter?

Fuck Florida...per usual

wzshalo Throw that thug in jail & flush the keys down the toilet!

Good

That is STUPID. What happen if i have a comon cold and i can not hold the cough. Do you know holding cough/sneeze could damage your blood vessels?

brooklynmarie That's great. Now do trump, trump family, barr, republican states, the gop and fox news. They are committing mass murder, genocide and are terrorists.

floridaman

Never thought it would get this bad...

illegitpres Good! Grow up stupid!!

Always Florida....

What a proud moment For AMR Florida was he a supervisor

Of course—Florida. How horrible and despicable.

How many Florida stories in one day? They’re never good stories. 🙄🤦‍♀️ Amazing how bad one state can be.

That offense should be deemed as terroristic threats.

Conservative. Conspiracy theory. Asshole red neck. The perfect trifecta.

Good. Charge with ADW (assault w/ deadly weapon) and domestic terrorism. +20 year min. prison sentence. If these lunatics knew they would pay a steep price for their vile actions they might think twice. LiberalismIsAMentalDisorder

The common cold is a deadly weapon? Tell me some lawyer somewhere will help him. this is not a crime.

no sympathy he can say whatever he wants ... but YOU CAN add coughing on or around People on the same level as SPITTING ON THEM

Soooo they're gonna apply this 'rule' to the cop that did it to residents in Baltimore too, right?

I hope they find him guilty.

I think the biggest question should be, how is this guy 49?

Stumptowncody32

'If i get corona, i get corona'

Florida man ! Hell yeah !

FBI Good News! They should now go back and from all video evidence, go charge many others too.

brooklynmarie Florida man...

The world is going crazy. Deadly weapon? Wtf....

Fine. Then realDonaldTrump should be charged with murder because he was informed by the Pentagon last November about the severity of the danger of covid19 and he did nothing about it.

This actually seems normal for Florida. That employee, while wearing HAZMAT gear, should be allowed to beat the holy shit out of that man.

He looks like an intellectual giant.

If I was the the employee I would shoot him right away

I reckon he is both a MAGA and a Dittohead

He had it coming.

Good

They didn't let him wear his red had for the mugshot?

Prosecute to the fullest extent of the law.

florida break out that sweet death penalty (i am joking and do not support the death penalty...i think this person should be tickled into a coma)

Mirá, el Florida Man...

Lock him up

Always Florida

He seems nice...

Walmart sued by family of worker killed by coronavirusThe brother of Wando Evans, who died of COVID-19, is suing Walmart, alleging a Chicago-area store failed to notify workers after several employees began showing symptoms. I can name a couple other organizations that are going to be in this position if they don't straighten up ... Unfortunately it's not Walmarts fault it's the federal governments for not suspending HIPPA laws durring a public health crisis, ummmmmm so called President Trump suspend HIPPA laws At what point is an individual to take responsibility for themselves and to respect others. No way to prove where his brother got it. Could be from him. Litigious society and some hack attorney = dream of free money for some made up shit.
