Debra Hunter is the Florida woman who was recorded intentionally coughing on another person at a Pier 1 store on June 25, according to a report from the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office obtained by Heavy. The woman who was filming, Heather Sprague, identified herself as a brain tumor patient when she posted the video on social media.

Sprague claimed she started recording after witnessing Hunter screaming at the store workers. Hunter switched her attention to Sprague after realizing she was being filmed and flipped Sprague off with both hands.

As shown in the video, Hunter proclaimed, "I think I'll get real close to you and cough on you, then. How's that?" Hunter then leaned forward and loudly coughed on Sprague's face before calling Sprague an a**hole as she walked away. Another witness, who was off-camera, can be heard expressing shock over the encounter.

Sprague shared the video on Facebook on June 26 and it has since been viewed more than 2.5 million times. The confrontation occurred amid a recent spike in coronavirus cases in Florida.

Legally, what are you allowed to do when someone coughs on you deliberately? Because it would be hard for me to stop myself from planting their face into the ground.

Person recording had great patience. If someone did that to me, I would put them in the hospital.

From the article, this Karen was trying to return something that she didnt even bring with her back to the store. She just had a photo of it. And she was flipping out because they wouldnt give her the money back.

Thats not how a return works. Thats never how a return works. Why are these people SO fucking stupid? It's mind boggling.

Sprague said she saw a woman at the cash register, later identified by law enforcement as Hunter, yelling at and threatening the store employees over an item she wanted to return. She didn't have it with her at the time but instead showed the workers a photo of the product on her phone. Sprague said the Pier 1 staff was "professional and respectful. But they couldn't return an item she didn't actually have with her."

Rejection of someone's entitlement is a surefire way to meet the grossest sickest person you've ever met.

Someone should've just printed her a picture of a dollar bill and exchange the photos.

Normally, I doubt anything would actually happen. BUT nowadays, im pretty sure its considered a form of a terrorist threat and there have been people charged for it.

I'd be torn between wanting to get as far away from Typhoid Karen as I could or powerbombing her through a counter.

So she tried to get money for an item she wasn't willing/able to physically return. She wanted the store to essentially give her free money.

Dumbass.

I called someone out today on the bus who coughed a couple of times with their mask not covering their mouth, someone deliberately coughing in my face is going to a hospital afterwards.

The part that's tripping me up right now is her trying to return an item...just by having a picture on her phone of it.

Hard to argue self defense though, since hitting them isn't defending yourself more than running away. If they grabbed you and coughed, yah.

in most jurisdictions, including Florida, you have no duty to retreat. Even if it's reasonable to do so. So long as whooping that ass is reasonable as well, you may do so. I have the utmost confidence you'd be able to convince one juror out of 12 that you reasonably defended yourself with these facts.

To the people who aren't able to defend themselves physically or don't want to get physical during situations like this, carry around pepper spray.
