In San Francisco there was a mask mandate, and roving groups of men would beat the shit out of anyone they saw without a mask on.
Like, they didn't really know about social distancing, but the went all out for masks.
I bet they took their wallets too, just to make sure the lesson stuck!
Gimme your wallet, sheee. And put on a mask, sheee.
Thanks for the accent! I read the second sentence in a much more fun way.
Removed. I don't disagree with the general hostility, but even 'jokingly' advocating violence is iffy ground. Please keep that in mind.
To be fair to them, work from home wasn't really possible back then and as much as I'd like for work to not be a requirment to live, it was and is. There were also basically no activities you could do without coming into contact with anyone else. Social distancing would be much harder for them.
