Coronavirus Brawl Erupts Outside Walmart As Disease Spreads In Idaho
on Apr 06, 2020
As the Novel Coronavirus, COVID-19, sweeps across the country (and throughout the world) panicked shoppers all over are struggling to cope with the risk of contracting the disease while trying to obtain the items they need for daily life.
During the original panic-buying frenzy that feels like it has been going on for months, people began buying excessive amounts of toilet paper and paper towels.
Now that the dust has settled to a slight degree, it’s a bit easier to acquire those items – but people are still rushing to the store early to make sure they can get some.
In this video from the parking lot outside of a Walmart in Twin Falls, Idaho, a man wearing a face mask and pushing a cart of groceries has just exited the building when a man and woman approach him.
Filmed with a vehicle dashcam, another car blocks the initial confrontation, but according to YouTube user DrDennis05 who works at that Walmart, the incident was started by the man in the mask.
“This happened at my store earlier today,” the user said in the comments. “The person with the mask on was pissed because the other two didn’t have masks on.”
In the video, you can see the altercation unfold after the initial incident and groceries are flung everywhere, some shoving, a punch or two, and at the climax of the scene – the unmasked man flips the entire cart of groceries over.
