To the people who aren't wearing masks. Why do you want to kill me? I am a vulnerable senior citizen. It is almost like premeditated murder. You know what the consequences could be for me and my wife but yet you still don't wear. Tell me again how your freedom equates to my death.
Well put!!
Unfortunately, there are those types out there who are either totally ignorant, or just don't care!

Agreed, like I said, protect those at risk but let's get the country(s) rolling again before the damage is irreparable.

What really puzzles me is the people working in public still not wearing a mask. If I ran a store, everyone would be required to wear one starting at least 2 weeks ago. Just went out again Thursday and it was only about 50-50. Of the few places I stopped at only CVS fully had their act together. Every employee wore a mask and all the registers have plexiglas shields in place.

I now wear one anytime I'm mingling with the public as mentioned above and I only go out when absolutely necessary. I can't even imagine working in public all day with no mask. The crazy thing is many are seniors themselves.

Tell me how someone else is responsible for your safety.
Why do you want to kill me?
It is almost like premeditated murder.
Do you believe a non-mask wearer is premeditating his or her actions as a willful act with intent to kill you or anyone else?

Should a non-mask wearer be regarded as a mass murderer and be handled similarly and arrested, or if he or she does not give up willfully be shot and killed because they are a 'mass murderer'

How about this one - PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY - If you are so concerned about your personal safety then take steps to ENSURE you own safety and do NOT take a self righteous position and blame others for your unsubstantiated claims because one simply CHOOSES to not wear a mask they are unequivocally, Prima Facie intent on killing you of their own volition.

Your reasoning for this can essentially be applied to anything that invokes personal responsibility on any level.

Oh, and for the record - I think I am a 'Sr Citizen' as well at 61 YOA - However I am very different than most at my age as I do not look it, act it and my DR. tells me I have the body of a 30 year old in condition and health - and this has mostly been due to my own 'personal responsibility' - and not because of the actions of anyone or anything other than my own choices.
