i know...it's depressing. just when I think the internet will allow us to raise our collective empathy....
General COVID Darwin Awards
- Thread starter Wintermute
- Start date
People need to find humor where they can. I get it. At the same time people scouring the internet every day to find people to mock for dying because you (general you, not you specifically) don't agree with them politically, can't possibly be healthy.
yeah, but he wasn't having a quick bite to eat. He was intentionally keeping the mask in one hand and the food in the other, acting like he was going to put the mask back on. He was just a twat. If that was Von Miller and Tombstone Jackson sitting there in masks and face-shields, do you think he would have been antagonizing them and recording their reactions?
of course not. he's an obvious twat who gets off on abusing people he thinks are powerless.
I don’t think the guy who died is the Darwin Award though. Unless I interpreted it wrong, I think they meant that the guy who shot and killed the person is the recipient.
Edit: tagged the wrong person
Haha
You seem to know a lot about that situation from a short video
Von Miller has natural immunity now anyways
I'm not taking the video to seriously
Presuming every single healthy unmasked person to be a threat is no way to go thru life.
They will be fine, fear is their biggest threat right now.
Living people can't win Darwin awards.I don’t think the guy who died is the Darwin Award though. Unless I interpreted it wrong, I think@Freeloading Rusty meant that the guy who shot and killed the person is the recipient.
I understand that.
Right, so is the post making fun of the person who died, or the person who killed them for asking them to wear a mask while in the business? I understand what the Darwin awards are, you don’t need to try to explain it to me. Perhaps you should explain it to the person who posted it.The story only has one dead person. You have to be dead to win a Darwin.
This whole thread seems to be making fun of the people who are of the antivax/ Covid is a hoax people. Maybe I’m wrong.
I mean, you could be right and the poster in question is just really stupid, but I don't think that's the case.
If the couple felt so threatened, I wonder why the didn’t hit the attendant call button? There are specific rules on the plane, at least with United, where you have to put your mask back on in between bites and sips. I think it’s a silly rule, but it is a rule.
Do people not understand how private businesses work?
I think it’s gone over your head, babe. That’s alright. We can just drop it.
Past performance is relevant.I think it’s gone over your head, babe. That’s alright. We can just drop it.
Sadly, no.
I think that has been one of the most baffling things to come out of all of this. The amount of people who feel like a private business can’t dictate what you have to wear in their place of business. If anything, it just illuminates how many morons there really are.
They probably did
Or it was fake
Looked like he was gonna put it back on at end of video anyways

“I was in a bed. I can’t move, I can’t breathe,” he recalled. “I was afraid I was going to die.”
Wikoff is now considering getting vaccinated because his family and doctors recommend it.
“Probably getting COVID again would be more dangerous than getting the reaction from the vaccines,” he said.
Wikoff said he asked the Aloha Freedom Coalition to remove his name as a member on state business registration. He is now warning people to not attend large protests like the ones the group staged in front of Hawaii Lt. Gov. Josh Green’s home.
“Before I thought Josh Green was exaggerating the situation and after my experience he sounds very rational to me,” he said.
Green responded that “I feel terrible for this gentleman that he got sick.”
“He was obviously getting bad advice and I feel terrible that a lot of innocent people held off on getting vaccinated because they were listening to these fear tactics,” Green said.
The protest group released a statement saying the group will continue protesting and wished Wikoff well.
