Just a couple short years ago, Canadian Dan Marcotte became a local hero after using his moving company to offer free moving services to help those in need during the 2017 and 2018 wildfire seasons.
Today, he is a villain who is receiving death threats for the felony of Aggressive Grocery Shopping (first degree).
Marcotte and his girlfriend went viral last weekend after using two carts to clear out the entire meat section at a Save On Foods grocery store in Lake County, B.C.
Via Vancouver is Awesome:
“Everybody knows who I am, because I put myself out there, (now) I’m getting death threats and I don’t answer the phone so I’m losing business. My own mother is ashamed of me.”
Marcotte has been bullied so consistently since the incident, he announced a $1,000 donation to the Lake Country Food Bank, while also acknowledging how fucking crazy people can be in times like these.
“If me and my girlfriend had done this two months ago nobody would say a bloody word. We’re getting crucified for buying two carts of meat. We might have gone overboard, but we didn’t push people or laugh at anyone.”
“I’m not feeling safe, and me and my girlfriend are scared.”
What’s more egregious: filling up two shopping carts of food or threatening someone’s life over it? God, people suck.
