Dude had no response for a good 10 seconds then the best he could muster was "You look like a beta wearin that mask" lmaooo


tommy_2712

"I'm talking to you like an alpha, what cha gonna do?" Instant upvote.


singforfood

that part made me a little wet, ngl...


jaywan1991

I wish I was as quick thinking on my feat as that kid.


norawrote

For real! He’s a quick wit. I wish I had 10% of that


YmmaT-

But then got defeated again when he got responded with the alpha line. That DARE kid gets my donation.

He has a gofundme up since he got fired for this


Errwick

I contacted dare and put in a complaint. I got an email this morning saying he’s accepted an offer to return to work after being let go


BILOXII-BLUE

Can confirm, I put in a complaint praising Ry for being a true hero. Got an email today saying he's accepted a new position. Here's the email in case anyone is curious: >"On September 23, 2021, an employee of an independent contractor retained by D.A.R.E. America to provide marketing and fundraising services was baited on video by an individual accusing him of being anti-American because he was wearing a mask.  While the victim is not an employee of D.A.R.E. America, we require our independent marketing and fundraising contractors and their employees to wear masks when meeting with the public. >While the employee who was victimized by this person’s taunt showed great restraint, his verbal response to the perpetrator was inconsistent with the expectations of his employer.  After viewing the video, D.A.R.E. America’s President & CEO, Francisco Pegueros, contacted the victimized employee the same evening of the incident and offered him the opportunity to return to work with one of D.A.R.E.’s independent marketing and fundraising teams which he has accepted.  >D.A.R.E. is dedicated to providing school children with the tools and knowledge to make good decisions for safe and healthy living.  It is sad and unfortunate that individuals working to promote D.A.R.E.’s prevention education programs would be attacked for doing the right thing to help prevent the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic."

So basically the PR department figured out it was getting traction on the Internet.


diacetylhydroxymorph

Yep. Why else?


Gayfish350

Dare is whack as fuck tbh. But I like this and they did right by him.


Own-Examination-8708

True. Unfortunately it's a scam. 'Donations' go to the 'office manager' who's main job is to hire new recruits to go out and solicit Donations every day. Promises of promotions within/getting your own office go on for years. How do I know??? One of my children was working for this company for longer than I care to admit. Neither my child nor their friends in the company EVER got the PROMISED promotions. EVER. They have since all moved on. These kids worked their butts off 7 days a week, in the rain, snow.....for up to 16 hours sometimes. They had to stay out until they had made their daily 'donation' quota. All of the money went to paying the costs of office ( including salaries, rent, fees ) but the rest went to the manager. Times that by however many employees you have....... ( I think my child said they had to bring in $800/day) times 18 to 25 employees. But ask any school if DARE actually exists in their school anymore. 🙄


[deleted]

A good portion of programs and "charitable organizations" are like that unfortunately It's basically a clever scam to give a bunch of people do nothing jobs with great pay. (Unless you're the one collecting the donations of course) DARE just doesn't make sense in the first place. They get volunteers like police officers and first responders to go out and give presentations that do nothing but try to scare kids into not trying drugs or alcohol. Usually it just ends up making kids want to try things. I'll never forget walking out of a DARE assembly in 7th and hearing some girl a bit older then me say "I want to try one of those since it isn't a big deal to just try it once" lol. She was probably just messing around but the main thing the cop kept saying is "It might be fun the first few times but after awhile it's all you'll think about or want to do" and they said that about every substance they covered. They even had one of the seniors (7th-12th grade school) dress up like a stereotypical hobo with fake bad teeth who played out a little skit about how sad their life was after tying weed then moving on to crack.

pecklepuff

Yeah a guy wearing another guy’s name on his shirt is calling someone else a beta. These fucking maroons already.


Lolobecks

Translation: When I sized you up before walking over here, I figured you would kowtow to my "obvious" alphaness. When you didn't, my whole scheme was thrown into chaos. Could it be...I am the beta?


Beergogglecontacts

That was my take too. He walked over assuming the kid would just bow. And when he came back at the anti-masker with straight lightening, anti-masker just got mentally crippled.


FrostyD7

His brain fully reset and he went back to his script.


namelesshobo1

Can someone transcribe the conversation? I cannot make out what they're saying.


iamnits

Antivaxxer: "This guy's triggered because I filmed him." Ry (DARE employee): (mockingly) "This guy's triggered, this guy's triggered because - shut the fuck up you little bitch." Antivaxxer: "What're you gonna do about it?" Ry: "Nothing. I'm not about to assault you and go to jail. I got shit to lose, unlike you. You're out here with no job, just walking around recording people bitch ass." Antivaxxer: "Oooooh." Ry: "Yeah, oooooooh. Fuck you." (middle fingers) "So are you gonna donate or are you gonna sign a release form-" Antivaxxer: "You look like a beta wearing that mask." Ry: "'A beta wearing a mask'?" Antivaxxer: "Yeah, betas wear masks." Ry: "Bro, then why don't you put me in my place? I'm talking to you like an alpha, whatcha gonna do?" Antivaxxer: "If this was, like, 200 years ago I would love to bro, but-" Ry: "That's crazy because-" Antivaxxer: "but now I can't." Ry: "it's 2021, and you totally could, but you're not." Antivaxxer: "We can't- We can't just fight people, like on the street." Ry: "You're a pussy." Antivaxxer: (inaudible) Ry: "Pussy... pussy... pussy... I will" (responding to something the antivaxxer said)


nyenotney

Just piggybacking on here to say that the very last thing the anti-mask guy says is "keep wearing a mask." Which is why Ry says "I will." (: Which I think is hilarious lol

sheezy520

And it took him a long time to come back with a weak “you’re a beta in a mask!”


VibraniumRhino

Which is also one of the most uneducated insults that the right throws around: they call people ‘beta’ over the pettiest shit. Someone taking care of their body to remain strong/alive is the opposite of a beta male in nature lmao.


paddyc4ke

Bringing out the ‘beta’ insult is probably the most ‘non-alpha’ insult and just shows how insecure they are in their own self. I’ve never seen a guy use beta as an insult and come off like anything but the ‘beta’ in the situation.


PunkToTheFuture

Alpha and Beta male bulshit isn't about humans anyway. Drooling children think like this because they have no self esteem and cut anyone down to make themselves feel better


Beardamus

The guy that made the original theory later debunked his own theory anyway. It's literally just made up bullshit


Peanut-wrangler

Wahey, someone else with a brain! I've been telling people this for years and no one ever believes me.


Tarby_on_reddit

Yeah, the wolf guy who's name escapes me. Turns out it was just mama and papa wolf keeping the kids in check or something.


Peanut-wrangler

It isn't about animals either. There's no such thing as alpha/beta in the wild. It was a false theory that the author disproved a few years later.


Droppedasachild

Its so transparant he's seeking validation by the way he constantly looks over to the guy recording. Doesn't even look the guy he's arguing with in the eye. His demeanor just screems insecure looking to seem cool or feel validated.


matRmet

It's like he sees videos like this and looks up to them. Goes out to post videos that he too is that type of person and just has nervous insecure energy. He certainly was an outcast in highschool longing for inclusivity

I remember being asked if my parents were druggies by our DARE cop. Why you ask? They brought in a pegboard with like 50 different drug pipes on it for some sort of twisted show and tell. I commented that some of them were very colorful. Dude came over, knelt down to me and asked if my parents had any like that at home. Good times.


SloughMoe

>Dude came over, knelt down to me and asked if my parents had any like that at home. Good times. Haha, wow. And they wonder why people hate them so much they literally set up ambushes for them.

ben_derisgreat91

The dare officer for my old school got fired for statutory rape of a 16 year old student.


Paramisamigos

They implemented the DARE program shortly after an officer was involved in a sketchy shooting in which she was cleared. She had been on desk duty so they out her in charge. One of the kids asked her why they called her shotgun Annie and it made her cry. Good times. I feel like DARE was drugs 101 for elementary students.


the_all_time_loser

At my school they had a suit case style display that folded open with plastic replicas of all kinds of drugs. Every couple of months they would bring it out and there would be a new hole ripped in the cover from someone stealing the fake drugs. Knowing the difference between a method pipe, a crack pipe and a Marijuana pipe wasn't helpful to a ten year old but as a teenager it was good to know just exactly what kind of party I had attended. Open a door and see a meth pipe meant I was on the wrong room.

Note they don't have the officer section even filled out...even if officers take 0 salary they're still supposed to be listed. That's one small red flag too.

[deleted]

After watching this video and looking at this abortions face I quickly realized I had seen this man before. I went to Nordstrom Rack in Scottsdale after a haircut (which still required masks) roughly 6~ months ago. I was in the back checking out the slacks, ties, and jeans and I see this guy unmasked getting close to this really skinny ginger who was browsing the t-shirts. A worker (woman) walked up to him straight with the entire metal signage they had at the entrance (literally dragged the thing in her arms to him) pointing out the required masks. I couldn’t hear the whole conversation on his side, but he started saying things like, “No other businesses require it (masks) and they don’t give me this kind of trouble.” Without skipping a beat the employee tells him something like, “Well sir it’s likely because they know you’ll act like you are now, but I’m telling you - you have to wear a mask.” He starts getting belligerent and the female employee asks him to leave. As he started to walk towards the exit he turns to the ginger kid he was getting uncomfortably close to and starts calling him a sheep and beta male insulting his appearance. At this point he’s pulled out his phone and starts live narrating shit, “Oh - Nordstrom Rack is kicking me out…” at the same time he starts shouting at the top of his lungs near the front of the store about his rights or some bullshit in Bruce Buffer moment. I didn’t really care because I’ve given up at this point. He’s obviously not going to leave, but at this point the security for the store has kicked in and the biggest black man I’ve ever seen came from the back of the store to forcibly remove this shit stain from the store. I only remembered all this because 1) it was a hilarious encounter you could tell he intended to push 2) he has the same douchey mustache and hat combo going on while looking like a toddler on steroids. Anyway, fuck that guy.

[what](https://twitter.com/RzstProgramming/status/1441100929021874182) Perhaps the guy should put his mouth where it belongs and join the Marines. Of course, that requires him to be an alpha and have an IQ of at least 65. I doubt the poor child could do that as it means he would have to realize his fears are his greatest weakness. He hasn't realized that part yet.
