Obviously, she didn't know what to do as I held my ground with the mask still held over my mouth and nose. I had complied ... but her rage was too much for her.
Manager: "Just take the product and go! It's free. Just leave!" she insisted, like I had the plague and was contaminating the store.
Me: "Thank you so much," I said as I picked up the item and walked out.
As I reached my car, I looked back toward the store. I would not have been surprised if she had sent the police or security to come after me. Why? Because that is the new America that many have come to embrace. They have freedom, but we don't. The media and the left reconfirm that daily." - Karen Hardin
The amount of dishonesty is also staggering. Hardin had not followed their rules and was not masked. She was the one causing the scene. She caused it. She relished it. She pursued it. She inflamed it. Then, after harassing the store workers to the point of stroke, Hardin, the Christian, gleefully takes the product for free? Then she summarizes this incident as her not having freedom? That is just idiotic. She first had the freedom to not go to a store that did not adhere to her ignorance of science. She then had the freedom to leave since she was so insulted by being asked to wear a mask. She had the freedom to not mock the store workers and then write about it on a Christian website. Lastly, she had the freedom to leave them money for the item she essentially stole from them. Instead, she played the victimized Christian, persecuted not for her faith in Christ but rather for her ignorance to science and her disrespect to those she is supposed to reach the most.
"My question to you is this: Is this really the America in which you want to live? How about our kids or grandkids? Not me. But it's going to take more than just a few people standing up to the insanity to see this change. It's going to take courage and a willingness to say, "We're not doing this anymore." Is there really freedom in America or not? If we don't do something, there absolutely won't be.
