American Threatens To Shoot Shoppers Over Because They Refuse To Wear Face Masks

An enraged man identified as Robert Kovner, 62, has been arrested by the police after he threatened to go on a shooting rave at his local supermarket because, in his opinion, too many shoppers at the supermarket were not wearing face masks to prevent their contracting the disease.

Robert posted this threat on Facebook, stating that he would “empty every clip I own” at his local Publix supermarket because not many people wore protective masks while shopping, the police in Florida said.

Robert had said, “Will it take shooting a few of you selfish A-holes in the parking lot to get the message through?

“Trust me, the virus is not the only thing that may cause your demise!”

The police in Sebring had said, “these are stressful times, but there is no excuse for making threats like this.

“It’s not a joke. It’s not just a bad day. It’s a crime. We will ALWAYS take them seriously, and you will go to jail.”

Florida has a record of over 24,000 coronavirus cases and a death toll of 680.

Robert has been charged with threatening to go on a mass shooting rampage, setting his bail at $30,000 and confiscating his weapons.
