A restaurant worker told a man to wear a mask, so the man shot him with a gun, say police

Exactly; that’s the usual addendum I add whenever posting that gif - some asshole unscrewed the lid when god wasn’t looking…

Which part of his training as part of his membership in a well-regulated militia covered this scenario? Probably we just need to update the field manual, vis-a-vis self-entitled murder waffles.

It was self-defense. He was in fear of his lifestyle.

They mistake fear for respect, if that isn’t saying the same thing. An armed society is a polite society because no-one will risk angering someone carrying a gun.

Who acts this way towards people who you assume are going to handle your food? I just don’t get the absolute ignorance and entitlement.

A well-regulated Waffle House, being necessary for the lunch of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.

May he be sent to a prison where he is only served waffles.
“Hey, can I get something else here?”
No, you were willing to kill for waffles, so that’s all you get now.

Please let us know where we misinterpreted a man shooting someone who said something he didn’t like at a Waffle House. My reading comprehension isn’t what it used to be.

So much freedom.

And his firearm(s) weren’t seized to prevent him being a dangerous asshole again. Only in 'Murica!

I know it’s not likely, but I’m a strong advocate for disarming and demilitarizing police as much as practical as well, outlawing no-knocks, firing for “malfunctioning body cams,” etc.

Presumably, the gun-toting man was there to guard the potatoes.

Shit, that’s my Waffle House. Staff there is nice. Should check and see if there is a recovery goFundMe, since I am sure dude doesn’t have healthcare.
