A Nov. 29 incident at Walmart off Ga. Highway 54 West in Peachtree City resulted in a charge of making terroristic threats against a Fayetteville man when he pulled-up his shirt exposing a handgun and made a threatening comment after being asked by the greeter to put on a mask.
Johnny Bailes, 60, was charged with felony terroristic threats and acts, according to Fayette County Jail records.
Peachtree City Police Department spokesman Chris Hyatt said the incident began when a greeter at the store asked Bailes to put on a mask. Bailes reportedly responded by lifting his shirt to reveal a handgun, making a threatening comment, then proceeding into the store.
Witness interviews resulted in those witnesses corroborating that a threat was heard, while a subsequent interview with Bailes determined that he made an insinuating threat while in possession of a firearm, Hyatt said.
When you are an anti-masker (which I am NOT…I wear my mask in every store)and believe that wearing a mask is some government plot to rob people of our freedoms and leads to receiving the “Mark of the Beast,” this is the result (well, it is an extreme result but a result, nonetheless._

Another shining example of stupidity, pumped by the Trump cult.
Yo’ DragNet….I doubt this “feller” voted….most of us “Trump Cult Types” prefer to just keep our hands in our pants to feel the warm gun rather than show it off…..you’d have to date me two or three time for me to give it up and show off my piece.
Yes…more dumb humor….
Here’s another shining example of our “well regulated militia.” Who knew there were so many locals in the National Guard?
What an outrageous request, to put on a mask and help protect yourself and your fellow Americans. I hope this idiot doesn’t call himself a patriot.
I think maybe he calls himself Bubba….but his new roommate at the county jail may call him Shirley.
Hmm, several posts from you vics1966 on the “theme” of prison-life and cellmate reunions. Freud would no doubt recommend for you to take a cold shower and then self-analyze some of these latent thoughts you’re having. As for me, I see it as a weak attempt at some sophomoric humor, but then again …
Yes Doon it is totally BS humor….that’s about all I have to reply with based on these incidents.
Well, looks like ole’ Johnny needs a “finishing” course and should read “Miss Manners”….it’s impolite to pull your shirt up in public.
Hey vics1966,
“it’s impolite to pull your shirt up in public.”
I think that’s called indecent exposure. (eyes rolling)
Anyways, this “pinhead” is going to find out that bad behavior can be costly.
You are correct Cyclist
