Right wing stupidity

What a shame. If you don’t want to wear a mask that’s your choice but then at least practice social distancing. Come on people.

My gosh...we have to do better as a people! You don’t have to beat a 70 year old man for making a simple request to keep everyone safe she stop the spread f this virus! 🥺

Did he have a red hat on?

The left has been promoting violence as a way to solve conflict. The media, BLM, NBA, NFL are all culpable now for increase in violence we see in our streets. PrayForTheBlue PrayForPeace StopTheInsanity StopTheViolence

Of the thousands of videos of people not wearing masks and beaten for it, of course the libtard media chooses this over all of those.

Life imprisonment should be the punishment.

TeresaMWalker Guess minding your business isn’t a Thing anymore.

The man without a mask was actually a left wing democrat, ABC never trusted always fake

If I were there I would now be sitting in a Florida jail and the assailant would be in a recovery room. And I'm only a few years younger.

WTF is wrong with people. That man could’ve been beaten to death. If you see something, say something.

☹😯😲

This whole mess is caused by Donald Trump and his not wearing a Mask.!

Our President condones and is complicit to this behavior, knowingly-willfully promotes not using mask stoking his supporters with hate and violence.... Vote for Change is the only way we can make a difference.

Trump's America.

And people just watched. Not me. I see that and that scumbag is getting a foot in the mouth.

In today’s world, Americans should do what’s best, which involves wearing of a mask. But age, sex , or nationality doesn’t matter anymore, judging how BLM robbed , killed and beat people, looted, burned businesses, many of the same color. Don’t approach these people.

Thats why it's good to mind your own business!!

Mind your own business folks. Do not take it upon yourself to be the mask police. people are tense and not in the mood for being lectured. Not cool to beat an old man but these are not normal times

Seriously 😳

Americans 🙄

Police say a Trump MAGA guy beat up the old man.

So sad that ppl are filled with hate because Trump has fueled it.

MAGAS and Trumpers

Did they get the animal that did it?

Well, we obviously know that the perpetrator is black, and the victim white, because ABC News never mentioned race.

ABC News demonstrates why so many Americans distrust the media.

So cowardly

Sounds like Florida.

Hope the 70 yr old man is ok.

Rovester Ingram

& everyone just watched.

White people, please mind your own business. Stop watching hero movies. Those are movies where the actor goes back to being a dick after being good on set.

Trump’s America 😡

Of course in central Florida. Bro, Orlando is always reppin in the news

this has been happening a lot lately in this country where you have good samaritans looking out for others only to get assaulted. it's best to just mind your own business these days. especially now since everyone is on edge. i'm not telling anybody shit in NYC this is a war zone.

Trump's America! Welcome.

So Two white men got into a fight National News story

Portland mayor won't 'capitulate' to critics who say he mishandled protests, police reformUnder fire for how he handled protests, Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler says he won't “capitulate” to critics. “The middle ground is very elusive right now,” Wheeler said. “When it comes to solutions, compromise is seen as a dirty word.” He's genuinely the worst. Everyone on both sides hates him. It is not about middle ground. It is about right and wrong. Do you allow and support criminal activity or do you oppose it and protect the innocent?
