Shame they added the postscript, I would love to see who shared that one!!

Don't worry — someone will strip out that 'satire' disclaimer as well as the second line ("Let's go ahead and get it started"), and it will spread like a fire in a matchbook factory.

So, mob rule then:

An Oklahoma city ends face mask rule for shoppers after store employees are threatened

The mayor of an Oklahoma city amended an emergency declaration requiring customers to wear face masks while inside businesses after store employees were threatened with violence.

Stillwater Mayor Will Joyce announced the change Friday afternoon, less than 24 hours after the declaration took effect.

“In the short time beginning on May 1, 2020, that face coverings have been required for entry into stores/restaurants, store employees have been threatened with physical violence and showered with verbal abuse," City Manager Norman McNickle said in a statement. "In addition, there has been one threat of violence using a firearm."

Joyce said in a series of tweets that he expected some pushback on requiring face masks but did not think there would be physical confrontations with employees and threatening phone calls to City Hall.

"I hate that our businesses and their employees had to deal with abuse today, and I apologize for putting them in that position," the mayor wrote.

"I am not the kind of person who backs down from bullies, but I also will not send someone else to fight the battle for me," he added in a second tweet.

Joyce said face masks are still required for store employees and are now "strongly recommended" for customers.

"I am not the kind of person who backs down from bullies," except that you did, Mr. Mayor, you folded like a cheap suit.

"I also will not send someone else to fight the battle for me," except that that is exactly what you did. The onus is now on individual store owners to face down armed thugs if they want masks worn on their premises. They no longer have the backing of the law.

Yeah, I posted that a while back but a reminder doesn't hurt

Mixed metaphor here. It is "folded like a cheap card table."

"Cheap suit" would apply if the mayor vociferously berated this crowd of ignorant assholes, not give into them.

[MajGenl.Meade]

Surely, folded like a cheap hooker?

"Earlier in the day, a Bellmawr police officer drew cheers from the large crowd that gathered to support the gym. He didn't mention any summons that had been issued when he spoke just before 11 a.m.

"We are and were only here for everybody's safety today," the officer said. "We planned for the worst, hoped for the best, and it seems like that's what we have out here today. Formally, you are all in violation of the executive order. On that note, have a good day, everybody be safe.""

Gotta get their workouts in.  After all, they paid money for that gym membership!

Is it too soon to make a remark about people trying to stay in shape even if it kills them?
