Astonishing video footage showed the moment Tennessee anti maskers screamed abuse and threats at officials after a school board reinstated mandatory face mask rules. 

One enraged looking man was filmed following an unidentified man who had spoken at the Williamson County Schools Board meeting Tuesday night, and roaring: 'We know who you are, you can live freely, but we will find you.'

Another man stood beside him was filmed telling his pal to calm down, before himself saying: 'You will never be allowed in public again,' to the official as he got into his car with the help of a sheriff's deputy who was escorting him. 

The huge mob was filmed confronting the man and other officials after the meeting concluded Tuesday, amid a surge of new COVID cases in Tennessee. It saw the board vote 7-3 to reinstate mask mandates for elementary school students, because COVID vaccines have not yet been made available to the young. 

Another protester was filmed shouting: 'There's a bad place in hell for you guys,' while the scores of anti-maskers gathered joined together in a chant of 'Will not comply.'  

The Williamson County Schools Board of Education had health care professionals at their meeting to announce the new policy and answer questions, but it was disrupted by a group of agitated protesters who followed them into the parking lot before harassing them and surrounding their cars. 

One woman approached a masked individual and shouted, 'Take that mask off,' as the group chanted 'No more masks.'
