California security guard charged with murder after shooting customer who didn’t wear a mask

The guard shot the customer as he was walking away

A California security guard was charged with murder Wednesday after prosecutors say he shot a 50-year-old man at a supermarket because he was not wearing a mask.

The incident occurred at the Gardena market in South California on Sunday, when the customer, Jerry Lewis, reportedly entered the store without a mask and got into an argument with the guard, Umeir Hawkins.

Masks are mandated in the state of California, a rule put into effect by Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom in mid-June as the state saw a resurgence in coronavirus cases amid phased reopenings of businesses.

Lewis apparently left the store, returned and continued fighting with Hawkins, who then fatally shot Lewis as he walked away, prosecutors said.

What you going to do. The guy was told to wear a mask and didn’t. The guard had to react. Good thing he didn’t neck knee him. Not that would get the store and remaining town burnt down. It’s all good, this is 2020.

Where are the White Lives Matters frames around your profile pictures on your FB pages? This is obviously a black on white crime and you weaklings could care less.
