Encounter with a trumpkin coworker

A conversation with a coworker took a dangerous turn today as a nutjob, wanted to take me out because I told him that beating the shit out of someone because the didn't respect the flag.

It all started with someone saying tat Papa Johns CEO stepped down because of his NFL stunt over the flag. I obviously was on the wrong side of the conversation because before it 2 as over, he was threatening me for saying that violence against those who disrespect the flag would be seen as assault.

He was in my face and raised a fist. I just looked at him and reminded him it would end his career in the retail business he is in.

They've gotten a lot more chippy since trump has been in office.

You can burn it, wear it. It's just symbolic, it's not a country.

Let him know, the Army might be able to use him. If he can get his act together, we don't need hot heads serving this country. If you really care, find another way to prove it.

Threatening assault isn't a smart way. Could even lose your right to vote, so you really don't count.
