According to the SD-UT:
Stadiums and other venues that employ Centerplate for food and beverage concessions have been informed that the ouster of the companys CEO will be announced on Tuesday.
Desmond Hague, CEO of the Connecticut company, was caught on an elevator surveillance camera in Vancouver in late July, kicking and choking a small dog. The video sparked outrage across the nation with the caterers customers, including those at San Diegos Qualcomm Stadium.
...........
In a draft news release obtained by U-T Watchdog, Joe ODonnell, chairman of the board of directors for Centerplate, reiterated that the company did not condone Hagues misconduct.
Following an extended review of the incident involving Mr. Hague, Id like to apologize for the distress that this situation has caused to so many; but also thank our employees, clients and guests who expressed their feelings about this incident, the draft release says. Their voices helped us to frame our deliberations during this very unusual and unfortunate set of circumstances.

So, public outcry (loss of income) can cause this monster to lose his job (but probably not his career) yet local LE can't find the time to prosecute even though they have an unbeatable case?
I promise they'd be all up in his shit if he was black and poor.
