to identify some of these wackos.

Shooting someone who just works there applies to both Costco & that firm! Guy was obviously willing.
Or he's a blowhard pretending to be a tough guy.

I have been in those, all have security and many have doors that can't be entered without security allowing access. I have seen some that had up pictures of people that had to absolutely be denied access or even have police called on them.

Whether security is armed varies by the state and the firm that owns office towers. At the worst, a angry person would shoot it out with security, at the best police would be nearby to intervene.

Oh well; lesson learned...

they'll probably have to hire a "real" security guard to keep a disgruntled "former employee" from showing his "power."

I've done work there. I can't believe they're open. Even the county has not approved opening law offices yet. And how are they going to work the elevator thing when they do? One person at a time in the elevator in a 50 some story building? That ain't going to work.

you never know what's gonna' walk off of an elevator: Gun-totin' 'Merican, "Open-it-now" virus spreader, whatever..........
At this point the receptionist should be making more than any senior partner.

....they have all been working albeit most from home

I wonder if they've ever had issues with this guy. He sounds like a hot head if he doesn't get his way.

We have had to keep working during this, meeting deadlines etc., even though there are no trials.

work from home at anytime.

Probably WFH like many of us.

..I own a Glock and a lady S/W as does hubby ('cept not the lady gun). We loved to target shoot and I have a laser on the Glock so I don't miss...... but NEVER every ever did i ever imagine threatening someone with a gun! I cant even imagine shooting a wild animal charging at me with it.

The guns scare me and are for target practice and last line of protection only.

It's some sort of classist expression I think. Most handguns will do the same job, with no discernable difference to the victim.

Like a version of 'look how important I am'.


This kind of shit is why, even though I am a strong gun rights supporter, I am also a strong registration supporter. That nutbag needs to be disarmed by the police, and evaluated by mental health professionals, immediately or people could be killed.

I mean, he doesn't NEED to be evaluated, he's clearly out of his gourd, but Due Process and all that.

I say that because I've personally observed this brutish behavior and all these big-ass intimidating firepower seems to show itself on selfishly defiant men.

I really appreciate you.

You've made a bad day better. Thank you for your kind words.

Shame about your penis, though.

That was hilarious!

Interesting that he was hired by a law firm and held what seems to be an important position that pays fairly well. I say interesting because this man is clearly unstable and ready, as has been noted above, to pop. Maybe he interviews well? Many psychopaths can pass for genuinely normal, even kind, people when it suits them.

But all the "normal" veneer has been worn thin by current plaguey circumstances and his sad and angry soul has come to the fore. He now presents as deranged, as dangerous, and as -- per his own words -- homicidal.

I hope the firm gas notified the police and that they are at least keeping a watch on him.

He devolved into this after he was hired??
I have a few acquaintances that have changed A LOT in the last 2, 5, 10 years...complete shells of their former selves and quite unrecognizable to those that really knew them before. Happens a lot unfortunately.

I could be wrong. Hell, I'm wrong more times than I'm right.

He isn't an outlier. Only that he made public threats, instead of laughing and joking around the boardroom table. This guys views and violent outbursts didn't come out of a vacuum.

listen to and respect their opinion.
Of course then they start crying and get angry when their world comes crashing down after they wave said gun around and voice said opinion.

could lead to termination by your employer.

Spreading the deadly silent, invisible CV.

are exactly the toxic delusions these MAGAts possess. We'll see how much power he really has now.

To switch to using 'ghetto' ammo rather than the pricey stuff.

And since when is Whole Foods a ghetto store? I doubt he will be allowed there anymore since his former employer also reported him to the police.

I usually shop at Aldi and TJ's, except for some of WF's 365 stuff, which is very good and very well-priced. WF are not a "ghetto" store, and aren't in the "ghetto," ever. Plus, this "ghetto" stuff is so racist and classist.

What company will hire a person like that now?

To take ALL his fucking guns away!!

What kind of idiot do you have to be, to not understand you can be carrying disease and still test negative...and taking that ignorance to the point of threatening violence?

explode on.

Throw them in a box and lose the key.

I have zero tolerance for these types of neanderthals. My apologies to neanderthals...

they lost the part about it being a Private Company and that entitles them to make whatever rules they want to. Just check out HobbyLobby

Glorified copy boy. 😂

Gawd...we are not all assholes like these guys but from today's stories you would be hard pressed to figure that out for yourself.

i live in NC and groan regularly. This is where a "protester" threatened a couple out walking their child with a fucking pipe wrench, and others in the group "protested" with fake guns.

the illusion of "power" to the weak-minded, who might resort to threats of violence at the least provocation. Or at no provocation whatever.

go into any business and shop elsewhere.

The hypocrisy is amazing

When a baker doesn't want to bake a cake for a same sex wedding, or a pharmacist refuses to sell contraceptives then these right-wing nuts are jumping up and down about it being the store's (or person's) right to do what they want with their business. But when that right-wing nut is impacted in the slightest way by the store's policies, then it is time to go get your gun and threaten them.

keep six feet apart. When I walked in seven people were standing in a 5 foot circle without masks (both staff and customers). I walked away and the owner asked if she could help me - I responded that there were too many people, too close together and none were wearing masks. She apologized and everyone spread out and put on their masks. If they had not done that, I would have simply left.

A. Fuck you.
B. If I have to delay my in person law school commencement for a year you can fucking well wear a mask.
C. I hope all your metal penis extensions get taken away from you.
D. Fuck your relative too.
E. Fuck you twice.

Claiming that the law firm violated his freedom of speech

of course, I presume this dude's white, so the 'I was just joking' excuse will likely be acceptable. He's thankfully lost his job from his law firm, but given his threats to the store, I would be concerned were I part of the law firm that this guy would come back and 'go postal' in the office.

He now has the "power" to try get another job after being rightly fired with cause. Bootstraps!

I cannot understand why it is so difficult to wear oneself either.

of how utterly stupid they are themselves!!

It wouldn't be unusual for him to have a postal response to his termination - which was richly deserved. His comment about having to "show" his Covid negative test made my eyes roll so far back into my head I've got a migraine now. Basically, this guy is probably just a blathering candy ass. First of all, he probably has never had a Covid test. Nobody but the West Wing infestation can anyway, but if taken on its face, getting a negative test is definitive proof that he'll never get the infection. A test is just a snapshot in time, and it doesn't mean that the one test is lifelong.

a gun is so easily acquired in this country. does he think he is special because he has a gun? very strange.

.... a dog whistle.

Even if they fire him now, I would never give this law firm my business. They had to have always known the kind of person he was.

front of my mind. He brought a word in that has a specific meaning to some. That was not accidental. I wondered whether that guy worked with the firm's African American Attornies or supervised African American employees.

These people are fucking INSANE. As administrative manager at a big firm like that he was pulling in big bucks... good luck going forward, asshole!

Plus, he left another big firm thirteen years ago, that implies that he was found via an executive search.

I agree that he is unlikely to ever have a job like that again. Big firms like that almost surely do extensive background checks, including social media (a recent addition). He is going to stand out like a sore thumb and not for good reasons, no one will touch him.

He now need to pull his kids out of private schools and put the McMansion up for sale pronto.

You can put on a damned mask.

Racist and a spoiled 4 year old.

Freedumb!
