FORT MYERS, Fla. — A raging mask debate during an incident at a Florida Costco was captured on video June 27 and went viral Monday night with almost 10 million views.A man wearing a red, “Running the world since 1776” T-shirt, dark shorts and flip flops was seen yelling “I feel threatened!” and “Back up! Back the up and put your phone down!” He glared at the camera after a female shopper had asked him to comply with Costco’s mask policy.
By midday Tuesday, Maples' bio had been pulled from the site and the agency released a statement: It had fired Maples.Can stores make you wear a mask? Do kids have to wear masks?
What’s pure hypocrisy is the video that went viral of a woman going after kids for not wearing mask but nobody got fired for that. I could be mixing details but the point remains. Whatever happen to the land of the free and home of the brave ? LEFTIST that’s what ruined killed it
I hope he sues the piss out of his former employer. What he does in his personal life is none of their business. If I was his employer that’s EXACTLY what I’d tell everybody. Ppl need to MYOB. I’m gonna guess it’s being covered up but I’m sure people have been attacked for asking
I feel bad for hes kids
Maybe the RNC could hire him!!!
What is the big deal about wearing a mask? Yes, they're uncomfortable, hot, etc, and yes, people do have the right to risk their own health/life; HOWEVER, they don't have the right to risk mine or anyone else's. It's really not any more complicated than that, is it?!
As he spreads his germs ... awesome.
Too bad had the person MINDED THEIR OWN FUCKING BUSINESS IN THE FIRST PLACE there would be no incident
Great for the company that fired him.
Maybe he didn’t want to be followed around and filmed? Now he will be homeless soon. I am a Fort Myers Snowbird and I will never do business again with Allstate or TedToddAgency or Costco RotaryFMSouth Trump2020LandslideVictory realDonaldTrump TuckerCarlson AnnCoulter
A word of caution if this happens to you: The NRA offers a Concealed Carry course where they give you a verbal script to practice so that you can set up a legal justification for a shoot. It starts with “I FEEL THREATENED.” It’s essentially how to get away with murder.
Yes because if you are wearing a mask it does not work if im not right? Liberals think that they can just go around telling people how to think what to say and if you don't like it prepare for the execution of your character
Why did costco let him in?!!!!! 😷
If you have issues with Costco’s or any other store’s policies, don’t shop there. It’s a good way to avoid career suicide.
enough is enough with the MASKS..they don't work..this is NOT A RESPIRATORY VIRUS...ITS found in the Feces..ya! and has been found in the Waste treatment plants in Italy...back in Jan 2019! not a TYPO..said 1/19, not 1/20. so put a mask on your ASSES..from now on and stop the BS
Hulk wear no mask!
angrywhitenan unstable fragile hostile scary. ifeelthreaten not safe needs counseling maybe mandatory therapy will help notsafe
Fantastic. I'm a Respiratory Therapist & I only shop Costco b/c of these policies. Every other country will be over the virus by the winter b/c they followed simple instructions, while we will lose 200k citizens, go into a depression, & get travel banned by the rest of the world
This guy is a walking time bomb. He was verbally abusive and should have been arrested to deter him from doing it ever again. Glad he lost something. He was horrible and more people should stand against bullies especially Businesses.
He thinks he’s a badass
He shouldn't have yelled at an old lady, but dang, that is enormous anger.
Correction, jobless trump supporter.
Trump supporter, I don’t even need to ask.
Brought to you and paid for by CHI-NAAAA! Fake....this is U S A. We are F R E E.
You’re the worse person I ever seen , my 3 and 4 years old grandchildren wore a mask when I told them too and they are happy to wear it and they are afraid of getting sick when we told them a lot of people getting sick if no mask and I’m so happy that they wore it .
Move on several days ago.
Wow. I think people are starting to get Covid-brain. 😢
Good
That is what a grown baby looks like? Huh. Weird.
Another one bite the dust
Wacky loon
Just bragging. White ultra nationalist mentality. He wants to fight get physical nothing to pay attention. After eating some P**y he will calm down.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Like a CLOWN !!!!
this dude is insane
what a weird ass dude 🤣🤣🤣
Entitled Narcs are being exposed
I support Costco’s mask policy. This jerk should shop elsewhere or follow the mask policy.
Schalaschly Nobody in Costco shouldn't get fired or anything and the guy that tell them to get back should get banned or something because of this Incident just saying
If people can't comply with rules they need to suffer the consequences of their actions. And if they want to be uncooperative they need to leave the store and not return.
Wow!
He’s an ass!
Here is a true exhibition of unassailable “White right, privilege and impunity “. This USA pathology has no treatment or cure. Requiem USA!!!
Good!
Exactly the type of idiots (aka potus) who are are endangering lives by not wearing mask
Good, he deserve it👍
Good
🙋🏼♀️I can’t even tell what’s happening in the short clip. Judging from all these comments, the belligerent guy being filmed in the red T-shirt is the employee, right? And he’s going off on the guy filming him, but why? I can’t understand what he is saying? Why is he losing it?
tedcruz
Please, just wear a mask. It's not worth losing your livelihood. And the mask can save your life or your Family's life.
Someone is a little tense!!!! 😤🤯😤 Needs a time out. Grow up!
Wow, this behavior is so sad. Why so much anger inside a human being?
What the hell is wrong with people ?
🤣🤣🤣
Hope it was worth it dude.
It’s total tools like this that’ll get shot one of these days and then their family will sue and go on media crying poor me! Don’t be a tool and mind your business!
It is not worth it lost your job very sad 😔 please wear a mask 😷 and be safe 🙏✌️
Wear a mask or stay home.
Good
He deserves to lose his job!
Florida man never fails
Same old fake news and intimidation ... trying to shame people. funny the left has s no shame no Stigma rants policy but they'll Shame and stigmatize anyone for votes
Good
THANK. YOU COSCO!!!! I WILL EXTEND MY MEMBERSHIP AGAIN!
You know what doesn't care about your freedom, a virus, it really doesn't care, you know what else doesn't care, the earth, you know what else, most other species in earth, you know what else, alligators to crocodiles. Put your head in its mouth and say you can't close it shut
There isn’t a debate about face coverings. There are a lot of people not following state mandates and CDCDirector’s guidelines though. It is possible that brain damage from Covid-19 is causing people to react irrationally; DrTedros?
Florida Man as Amygdala-Head.
This dude is a time bomb. If he can act like this in front of a camera with all these people around him, who knows what he is capable of at work settings with his coworkers?
Good Job! 😅😂🤣😭
Good glade he god fired he deserves nothing.
He seems nice..
See you in the unemployment line shit head!
Um, hello? Where's HIS mask? And HE felt threatened? This is pure fascist behavior, right here.
Not because of the video; because people that stupid aren't capable of doing any job.
Hit them in the pocket. They got to learn. 👏👏👏👏
Dumb and Dumber, where was it? Oh yeah that place!
Good
Wait.... No one called the cops? But they call the cops on dark skinned women.? Stupidest Shti Ever.
Don’ t shop in any store that does not require a mask. Basic safety equipment. This is not a hoax or joke. 3,800+ dead in FL and hospital ICU units at capacity in many counties.
Did anyone notice the gun he had? Shouldn’t Costco file charges against him for that? He went there looking for an altercation and reason to use his gun
Cool shirt though...
He should also be required to get a psychiatric evaluation. That behavior is not normal
Costco is one of the safest places to shop. They have been consistent with their mask policy since the beginning of the pandemic.
This was one intense hostile dude.
For someone to get that angry over wearing a mask is so stupid. People are asked to wear masks to not only protect themselves against the virus, but others they may come in contact with. Its about saving lives. Nothing else.
You know what? I don’t have much patience for these crazy people who fly off the handle for near no reason! But at the same time...people losing their job over a few seconds of their most regrettable behavior...cops kill an unarmed person, they get sensitivity training...MHO
Wow
What do people think is going to happen when they behave like maniacs while someone is filming their irrational & public meltdowns? In a very tight job market, people need 2 pause before they open their mouths. There's no need for HR, these morons R writing their own pink slips
'man' .... looks like a little whining bit*h
No he feels unemployed
Leave the man alone. He has a right not to wear a mask.
Appears to have an explosive behavior disorder. Should avoid interaction with public. Look at production work or night janitorial type employment.
Whole Covid-19 thing is a giant SCAM! NEEDS TO STOP NOW!
Actions will have consequences.
psychotic behavior
Good he needs to have some struggle and maybe that fool will be more empathetic to others instead of pathetic ignorance!
Karma is a bitch!!
Thiiiiis piece of shit !
What a punk!
That’s all
Fired = consequences
KARMA
Lol why(oh why) do ppl think they have the right to CONFRONT ppl? Y’all were not wearing your superman cape back when bitches was boosting and mfs were knocking over old ladies FR... so im confused where all this energy is coming from?
I got a hundy says that dude can’t fight 💵
Good
I think the mask thing is ridiculous but you cant get service anywhere unless you wear one.
Fucking white man
Definitely an over reaction.There could’ve been a lot more things going on here. Mental health issues? Add on to it that there’s always some asshole with a phone in your face that can’t mind their business. But to get fired and put on the news for it? That’s the real problem.
Costco are you asking your customers who wear their mask wrong to leave the store? As wearing a mask wrong is just like not wearing a mask at all! This man needs to mask up and check that out then sue Costco for discrimination!
Just one of those Florida Crackers acting out. The state is filled with these kind of people. If you visit Florida stay close to the coast where the tourists are.
Don't want someone in your face screaming, don't confront them and video. If store employees don't care and you are wearing a mask, just social distance and get your 💩 and get out. We're under mandatory mask rule in Virginia and I could still do this in every store I go into...
Of course law enforcement wasn’t involved. If he were an African American male I have a big feeling they’ve would of been involved.
As it should...
His name is Daniel R. Maples He worked in insurance sales 🤣 His wife divorced him last year because he always cheats on her. He's a registered Republican He has a collection of firearms He's a sociopath
Good. Big man yelling at an old lady. So tough
I love that he sells insurance, but refuses to wear a mask. The irony is strong in this one!
This is 2020 don't don't people know if they act like the world revolves around them it's going to be shown on social media It's simple follow the golden rule.
Good
Agree or disagree with wearing the mask it’s not worth it. Risk vs reward. Wear the mask
WOMP WOMP
Well thats what happens when you try to play mask police. You never know who your messing with.
KARMA 1, Asshole 0
== Back up!! == You are fired == I mean Bacon!!.. where are the bacon, please.
An Anger Management course, including how to avoid elder abuse, would have been cheaper!
He lost his job?
Where is he going to work next? SMH Getting fired is not enough!
Haha what an idiot
He had bad behavior since 1776 and never hire him to wash your dishes.
Mask shamers have gotten out of hand. Of course the man was pissed, people need to mind their own fucking business and stop going after others for not wearing masks.
It’s never been about masks. It’s how we comply. Masks are best effective in a antiseptic setting. Not out in public with massive cross contamination.
His social bio “is currently the highest-producing sales agent in the company…' Not anymore!! Also - Likes: Hot yoga, traveling, cooking and mentoring others...' Who is this guy mentoring?
That’s what he get. lunatic!
Who really knows what this person said to him, only one side of the story
Best said from PauleyTeeks : 'So ya know that guy that flipped out on an elderly woman at a Fort Myers Costo - because she asked him to wear a mask? Well, I fixed his shirt ;) (You're welcome) BecauseFlorida ' give PauleyTeeks credit and follow
Lol karma!
These people are the ones to blame if things get shut down again. There’s no harm in taking precautions. All this is political. This is what the president and republicans want. This kind of behavior.
Hopefully this guy is as appalled seeing his performance on video as most decent humans are.....
LIARS.
You mean: Daniel Maples, a raging white man, threatened an elderly woman and man, because he's too stupid to wear a mask during a dangerous pandemic. His behavior got him fired.
Good
This mask debate is happening more than we see or hear about. When people threaten others life over wearing a mask or not wearing a mask..it concerns me when I'm out and about. People can be a firecracker..going off at any moment. 😞
BooHoo
What a monster
You seriously just called this a debate? 🤦♂️
Idiot spent more time arguing,then he would have shopping
This Behaviour is DisGraceful We are ALL Under a Great Deal of New Stress We Really Need GOOD Leadership to Help Us 'Us' as in My Fellow Americans You and me 🤔
My latest kink, watching racists & subhumans fired from their jobs is satiated.
Love shirt!!!!🤣 so true running the country since 1776! It must say into the ground on the the back!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Loser
That’s BS. Man wasn’t representing his company and really did nothing but yell at someone.
Strange the company does not instruct all its staff to be wearing a mask. It shouldn't be an issue.
Put a Dam Mask 😷 on that big Gorilla. O’Well he lost his job👏🤷♀️👏.....
Piece of shitttttt
All that for asking to save lives!by wearing mask! Imagine what he’s like at home etc,Call a Doctor This Guy needs help
What a selfish a**hole!
Next time call cops 👮
Good
Well. Thoughts n prayers.
Idiot
To get everyone participating in the economy its not a difficult thing to do for everyone to wear a mask. Wearing a mask is about helping others. If we want the economy pumping at 100%, that means even those that fear getting sick should be out and that means others helping them.
Why not just leave people alone? The two Karens confronting him don't even work at COSTCO.
Rafalafael o cara da flórida
“Excuse me , can you tell me what aisle the rhoids are in ?”
New leftist formula. 1. Do something obnoxious/annoying. 2. Gas light person to flip out. 3. Roll camera 4. Destroy life. Ex. The asshole in central park didn't record himself saying he was going to poison the lady's dog, so all we see her flipping out, and calling police.
Go home
This is not about masks at all.
GOOD! As it SHOULD have! What a piece of work THAT one is ... *smnsfha* ... pfffft.
Did Costco cancel his membership and ban him for life?
Trump has caused the death of so many Americans and totally ruined America. As a foreign audience who used to love America the most in the world, I hope it will be resurrected this November.
Wear a mask 😷and stop being selfish. Get over it, it’s not about politics it’s about being safe! You get what you deserve! Lol...🦋😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷
Disgusting.
He needed a six foot stick upside his head.
He is threatening
*His* tirade has costed *him* his job. 100% voluntary
Trump's America
What do these horrible people think when they do this? Trump is going to come to their rescue? They all have the same psychosis. He doesn’t care about you.
Good. Actions have consequences.
the individual needs a really hard CognitiveRecalibration. as well as a refresher in manners. as everyone knows Manners maketh Man and Woman.
If you haven't already, you need to get a panel of psychiatrists/pschyologists and psychoanalyze white America. Many of them need help as they are entitled, arrogant, violent and unhinged people.
Hmm wonder what he's like at home, no one watching?
I know 2 types of people with COVID... 'Bad Symptoms' and 'No Symptoms'. The 'Bad Symptoms' people wore their mask all day at work, the 'No Symptoms' people didn't. Is there a correlation or is this a coincidence?
One of Trump's pro virus idiots.
Isnt karma for bad people just amazing :D
FloridaMan Political Masks thanks to President Trump.
Well that’s what he gets for behaving like a gorilla ! No need to behave this way ever.
'I feel threatened.' He was right -- having his behavior captured on camera cost him his job.
This guy is so stupid. Now, he just lost his job. Wow!
So wear a mask, I don’t understand what the big deal is. People are so selfish
It cost his job? Good! Fuck him.
Adios idiot.
So, if no one cares to wear a mask, I shouldn't care were I smoke a cigarette !!!
khoaphan, are you proud of yourself? It is awful what you have done and you need to do some soul searching
Costco supervisors 🤷♂️
the individual need a really hard CognitiveRecalibration.
We will have more and more mental breakdowns as the COVID drags out .....not good
In the hood they shoot you for asking folks to put a mask on...This is nothing(though he's a dick I'll admit).
Why don’t people just mind their own business?
Outstanding serves him right
I would not buy anything from him
Good
And this sweetheart is the guy who doxed him:
