    A Wells Fargo bank manager in California was reportedly beaten after his workday ended by a client who refused to wear a face mask as he entered the bank.

    The Grover Beach bank manager was attacked by the client in the bank's parking lot on September 3 and was called a racist slur, the San Louis Obispo Tribune reported.

    The suspected assailant reportedly came into the bank lobby without a face mask and left shortly after having a dispute with the manager, but returned later and attacked the bank manager.

    "The guy went home, he plotted, he laid in wait, he ambushed me. And he called me a 'sp--,'" said the Hispanic manager, who is identified as 'A.' for safety concerns, according to the news outlet. "I'm thinking, 'Gosh, you know, he completely escalated on his own. He didn't like the idea of having to wear a mask.'"

    A. said he greeted the client and offered him an extra face mask to wear in the lobby for protection against COVID. But the man, who reportedly is in his mid-40s, refused and became hostile.

    The suspect reportedly began going through the cabinets and drawers at the bank, which prompted A. to warn him that he would call the police. He then responded by telling A. "Well, you f------ sp--. Come outside."

    The bank manager responded back, saying, "I better not catch you outside. Sort of famous last words."

    The man left the bank afterward but returned to the Wells Fargo parking lot and attacked A., who had finished work at the time and was trying to get into his car.

    According to the Tribune, A. said that the suspect grabbed him by the back and pushed him toward a small wall and began "wailing" on him.

    "I'm starting to gather myself a bit, and I realize I'm under attack," A. said recalling the incident.

    Both men fought each other and A. tried to choke the suspect at one point. Meanwhile, a coworker who was leaving the bank at the same time called the police.

    When the suspect tried to escape, A. said he ran after him to chase him down but at some point, the suspect ran away and disappeared as police were approaching the scene.

    A. suffered a concussion and lacerations to the head, hand, and face, according to his wife.

    He said that he told the police at the scene details about the incident and was told that they will contact him after the weekend, but he didn't hear anything back as of Wednesday, according to the Tribune.

    A report was filed to the Grover Beach Police regarding a battery and hate crime that occurred in the Wells Fargo parking lot. It's unclear if A. filed the report himself or if someone filed it on his behalf.

    Police confirmed that they're investigating the incident but didn't reveal any further details including the suspect's name and victim information.

    "If necessary, we may post an image on social media of the suspect if we are not able to positively identify them in the near future," Grover Beach Police Chief John Peters told the Tribune.

    Haha that reminds me of getting a mar1juana card in California.

    You can go in and say you cough a lot, get red eyes, say things you will do that you don't.. and the $250 fee will still get you a 'mar1juana' recommendation

    I'm not up on these professional standards but how can a chiropractor legally write "Medical Exemptions" from masks wearing? Or are there no standards and anyone can just write an exemption?

    I'm guessing the standard is professional medical ethics - that it should be for a legitimate medical reason. Someone can report him to the medical board to investigate for abuse.

    Unfortunately I'm pretty sure the anti-vax crowd doesn't understand what "background rates" are and nor do they understand the Law of Large Numbers. If they did, they wouldn't be so quick to quote the VAERS numbers.

    So this article is literally above their level of comprehension. I liked it though. Thank you for that.

    I think the point was to just get you to look at the tweet and watch it, so... mission accomplished I guess.

    You don't get why he wouldn't have gotten vaccinated without Pelosi making him?

    Or you don't get the point of the tweet?

    If it's the former, join the club.

    If it's the latter, a person who should know better admitted he wouldn't have gotten vaccinated if it weren't for the requirements of his job. Now imagine millions of conservative Americans with the same viewpoint.

    We can't beat this unless everyone whose health allows them to get vaccinated does so. But because so many refuse for patently absurd reasons, a mandate becomes necessary.

    @rocketsjudoka is right, he can’t attest to whether someone has a medical reason because he isn’t trained or licensed to practice medicine…doctors are.
