An Iowa man who assaulted another man for calling him out for wearing his face mask incorrectly has been sentenced to 10 years in prison after removing it entirely and spitting in the victim's face.

'If I have it, you have it!' Shane Wayne Michael told Mark Dinning after the disgusting attack, implying he had infected him with the COVID-19virus.


Both men were at the Vision 4 Less eyewear store in Des Moines on November 11 of last year when Dinning allegedly asked the 42-year-old to secure his face mask over his nose as Michael had pulled his mask down slightly, the Iowa Capital Dispatch reports.

Michael alleged that it was Dinning who instigated the assault, claiming Dinning 'shoulder-checked him' and 'poked him in the stomach' once the two men left the store, according to the news outlet.

'If I have it, you have it!' Michael told Mark Dinning (pictured) after the disgusting attack, implying he had infected him with the COVID-19 virus

He told police that the fight eventually went to the ground with both men wrestling one another. Michael said he had him pinned to the ground when Dinning bit his arm, which he countered by poking his finger in Dinning’s left eye.

However, a witness named Bob Darr, as well as a store employee on scene, both told responding officers that Michael had initiated the confrontation by following Dinning out of the store before attacking him and spitting in his face.

Police ultimately arrested Michael, whose mugshot doesn't show any visible injuries, and charged him with assault causing bodily injury.

Polk County prosecutors eventually offered him a plea deal in February, which would have allowed Michael to enter a plea of willful injury causing bodily harm, a lesser charge that would have gotten him just two years of probation, according to the Capital Dispatch.

Michael rejected the prosecutor's plea deal before deciding upon a jury trial, with charges being upgraded to willful injury causing serious injury, a far more serious offense.

Michael was found guilty on April 1 at trial, and was sentenced to 10 years in prison for the class C felony on Wednesday, according to Polk County court records.

The court also temporarily waived a fine of $1,370 in consideration of his impending incarceration.

Michael's family members spoke out about the lengthy prison sentence, which seems inordinately harsh given the nature of the crime, according to his father and wife.

'It’s like (Dinning) got a black eye in a bar fight, and now my son is getting 10 years in prison,' Michael’s father, Dennis Michael told the Capital Dispatch of Wednesday's sentencing.


Meanwhile, Michael will leave behind six grown children and his wife, Becky, who told the local news outlet that she doesn't know what she is going to do without her husband for the next 10 years.

'He’s my rock, he’s my protector,' she said. 'I don’t know what I’m going to do without him. I’m lost without him.'

Michael’s father, Dennis Michael, revealed that his son rejected the initial plea deal offered because he still says he was acting in self-defense against Dinning and was not guilty of any crime, before adding that his son wears his mask lower due breathing problems caused by asthma.

'He’s not going to cover his nose and mouth because he can’t breathe,' his father said. 'And there was no mask mandate in place. It was just a request by Vision 4 Less that people wear a mask, and he was.'

Naaw fam. his 10 year sentence sounds good to me. He needs to sit there and think about his actions.

If you compare his sentence to what black americans get, then yeah, I'm happy he got it. But i wouldn't be surprised if he got out early for good behavior.

Stupid people need to suffer for their stupid decisions. This was his choice every step of the way. He thought he would be found innocent and instead the opposite was true. That’s it. Live with it. Accept.

That's what his nasty ass gets...
Where I'm from, spitting on someone is some "you have to die now" type sh*t. He's lucky he was dealing with someone that allowed him to live to even be arrested and go to court. Real talk.

Ha, look at this "provider and protector" making selfish, stupid choices and now leaving his family to fend for themselves. Oh well, that's what they get. No sympathy here!

I bet he hoped that the jury and judge would be Anti-maskers who would side with him or feel sorry for him.

He attempted to gouge out that other man's eyes, he deserves the serious prison time he got. He was arrogant and figured his white male privilege would get him off.

I’m on the fence about the sentencing. 10 years seems excessive. I think a couple months and probation for x amount of years seems more appropriate. xes offenders get less time than this. This is exactly the reason our prison system is becoming more crowded.

Oh please Becky. You better find you a friend. If the rules were reversed and you went away for 10 years your husband certainly wouldn't be "lost" or lonely.

Lol

When you thought you had white privilege, but your victim is also white

This. I came here JUST to say this. Especially the part about him rejecting that plea deal, he REALLY truly thought that white privilege was going to save the day like it always does:

  • Michael rejected a plea deal that would have meant just two years of probation, instead he opted to go to trial where a jury found him guilty of a higher offense.
This is all the white race's fault tho. They've allowed themselves to get comfortable disrespecting black people with impunity for so long until the degeneracy has spilled over into their communities as well.

You must didn’t read the article

They offered him a plea deal that would have given him probation but he rejected it.


Michael rejected the prosecutor's plea deal before deciding upon a jury trial, with charges being upgraded to willful injury causing serious injury, a far more serious offense.

The details of act....

He told police that the fight eventually went to the ground with both men wrestling one another. Michael said he had him pinned to the ground when Dinning bit his arm, which he countered by poking his finger in Dinning’s left eye.

Witnesses stating Shane was the instigator....
However, a witness named Bob Darr, as well as a store employee on scene, both told responding officers that Michael had initiated the confrontation by following Dinning out of the store before attacking him and spitting in his face.

The victims face...

How much time would you want someone who spat on you to get?
