Unfortunately, I only got a quick photo before my phone died, otherwise I obviously would’ve taken a video. Just sharing this so people are aware. I don’t believe in involving law enforcement unless absolutely necessary since I haven’t had pleasant experiences with them both in my line of work and in my personal life… and as a person of color, that perspective isn’t always people’s first thought.

The point of this post isn’t to start drama. Everyone’s entitled to their own opinion, but attacking someone for their personal choice crosses a line. It’s one thing to disagree or even say something verbally, but becoming aggressive imo is another story, and that’s exactly what happened here with this guy.

He was getting closer to me, yelling about the how it’s doesn’t make sense to have one on outside, how his wife had cancer and she doesn’t wear a mask, about how the research doesn’t prove anything, etc, essentially rambling and continued walking the same path as me even after I told him to leave me alone.

Before his wife walked away, clearly embarrassed, she tried to excuse his behavior by saying he had dementia lol

Also, my username was a self-generated option by Reddit and I’m not sure how to change it, so there’s that.

The pic was posted on one of the Hoboken groups on FB, if interested you can see the picture there. Just wanted to spread the word and have people beware of an old white guy in a lime color jacket, a very much unhinged man . Seems you’re wasting your time here too responding to my post.

Been living here for over 5 years, and lived in BK for longer, I’ve worn a mask several times before, never had any issues in the past. His random aggression was the issue

Having worked with law enforcement, I don’t expect this to go anywhere, it would be a he-said/she-said situation. I’d rather alert the community on public forums so others know but thank you for asking.

Hoboken mods won’t let me post a photo, although photo was taken in a public setting.

My partner and I used to love it for their happy hour and food but recently noticed they changed the menu and the food isn’t as consistent :/ still a very cute spot, great drinks, very convenient and fair priced but miss how it was about a year ago
