Shopper shouts 'I hope you die!' at children for not wearing masks

This is the moment an enraged shopper lashed out at a mother and her three children for not wearing face masks

‘I hope you all died because you’re going to kill me,’ the woman screamed at a family in a Walmart in Gainesville, Florida.

The incident was caught on camera and came after Walmart issued a requirement for all customers to wear masks on July 20.

Desiree Alis Vansickle, the mother seen with her children in the video, told CBS 46 that the incident brought her to tears, adding that she did not purposely forgo masks, she just did not expect to visit the store and therefore did not have them, she said.

‘Whenever it all ended I just walked off and was shaking on the inside, and I started crying because I was so upset,’ she said.

‘She was attacking the people that were coming in without masks and everybody was just kind of ignoring her and walking on and going about their business, but I just didn’t feel that it was right that she was wishing death upon people for not wearing a mask.’

‘I just prayed that she went home and she thought about her actions, and what she said, and what she did affected a lot of people,’ she continued.

Walmart has since released a statement regarding the incident.

‘Our Health Ambassadors will work with those who show up without a face covering to try to find a solution,’ the company wrote.

‘We also know there may be situations, such as age and health, that may not make it possible for everyone to wear a face covering. Our ambassadors are trained on those exceptions to help reduce friction for the shopper and make the process as easy as possible for everyone.’
