So, this happened today at work...

[Progressive Jones]

A discussion was going on in the break room about Trump lying in regards to attendance at last night's MAGAWALL rally in El Paso, TX.
At some point, I said, "Yeah, well Trump's always lying. What else would you expect?" I guess this got one of the Magaboys riled up.
He says, "Fuck You!" I laughed. He shouts "Shut Up!" I laughed again, and asked, "Are you my boss?", knowing full well he's not. He then shouts "Fuck You!!!" even louder. He then starts ranting about how "all you fuckin' libtards hate this country, blah, blah, blah...!!!". His supervisor, who was in the room, says, "Chill out. Now.". Magaboy then gets up, gets in my face, and screams "Fuck You, Commie!!!" I snickered. He sucker punched me in the eye, and leg sweeps me. I hit the floor, and he jumps on me, with a box cutter (unopened) in his hand. The other guys pulled him off me, and dragged him out of the room. The last time I saw him, he was in the boss' office, blubbering like a baby. The boss told him to get out of his office. The boss asked me if I was OK, did I want to go to the clinic, did I want to call the police, etc. Except for the swelling, I was OK, and I didn't want the cops involved. I have no time to be going to court over this slug. I'm pretty sure the boss was concerned with a lawsuit, as well, but that won't happen. I like my boss a lot, and love my job.

This is what things have come to. Magaboys losing their shit over something most Americans are in agreement on. Pathetic.

[manor321]

1. Oh my goodness, this really happened to you?!

That is terrible! I don't see how the other man keeps his job.

[Cha]

7. All four of us, so far in this thread, thinks

he should have been Fired!

[misanthrope]

74. I didn't see where the OP stated conclusively

that the assailant has kept his job. I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't know for sure yet.

Were I his boss, he would be lucky to only get suspended and I don't care what began the disagreement, politics or not. When you assault someone, I don't want you in my place of business.

[MH1]

98. My rule: Politics should never be discussed at work, unless

a) you work is politically-related (obviously)
or
b) quick private exchange with a coworker who agrees with you

If somebody starts some political discussion in the break room, I walk away. Bad feelings can spill over into work time and that is not what my boss is paying me for.

All that said, I don't blame the OP for a quick retort, and certainly he shouldn't have been physically attacked, and the aggressor should have been marched out of the building, terminated on the spot, as it sounds like there were plenty of witnesses.

But stuff like this is why I have my rule. Oh and when I've had direct reports, I make them aware of my rule. As a suggestion (it wouldn't override other aspects of job performance unless egregious), but I would remind them if I knew they broke it. No one ever did, to my knowledge.

[TNNurse]

113. At one time I was a nursing supervisor in a hospital.

The job was to cover the entire building and so I knew all kinds of staff. They had specific supervisors but on some shifts the house supervisor was the immediate person. Staff, especially nursing staff, knew that religion and politics were not to be discussed while they were on the job. The reason was explained to them that both are very emotional topics and if they were discussing them...THEY WERE NOT DOING THEIR JOB. I am sure I walked up on conversations that were stopped when they saw me, so It tried to hang around awhile to "supervise". I did not pay attention if they were at a meal away from their area, but otherwise, I would intervene.

[Scarsdale]

130. Someone with anger like this

is likely to show up with a GUN.

[Mr.Bill]

114. The company is exposing themselves

to more liability by not calling the police than if they did. A crime was committed, possibly a felony. At the very least the OP should demand a restraining order against the guy.

[The Mouth]

116. It is never excusable to assault someone over mere words.

Possible exception of a creditable threat to do you damage, but otherwise physically assaulting another person over mere lip movement should be 5 to life.

[DontBooVote]

2. Did they terminate him or what?

[itcfish]

106. Yes, Was He Fired?

Hope so. But be careful, he might go postal on you. Watch your back.

[smirkymonkey]

3. Wow! Are you ok? That is some pretty serious stuff right there!

He should have been fired on the spot for assaulting you at work. You or your boss should definitely make sure this incident is recorded by HR. That guy sounds like he's about to snap and he's a danger to you and your co-workers.

I'm glad you lived to tell the tale. I hate to think what might have happened if that box cutter had been opened.

[Cha]

4. Wow! I was laughing until..

I came to the "sucker punch" part.

I wish that stupid brainwashed asshole would have gotten FIRED!

He's freaking dangerous.. sounds like you held your cool even when he was in your face with his "fuck yous"! And, he had to be pulled off you!

Be careful.. sounds like he's the type who might jump you later for fuhrer's revenge.

[MLAA]

5. Wow! I mean wow. First glad you are okay.

And may all magats unravel.

[UniteFightBack]

6. He needs to be fired. How dare he touch you! This muthafucka needs to learn to use his

words - at his next job.

[cwydro]

154. And you believed this?

Almost an exact OP some months ago with same story.

Even if you didn’t know that...so many red flags....horrific workplace violence and nothing happens? “Commie?”

Critical thinking is a plus in this world.

Smh.

[UniteFightBack]

157. Don't respond to me again. nt

[cwydro]

160. Lol, best put me on ignore then.

Because we can respond to anyone we want here.

It’s a DISCUSSION board.

[Algernon Moncrieff]

8. Sorry. Glad you are more or less OK.

I'd have called the cops. Go nuclear early is my motto with stuff like this.

In most workplaces, Magaboy would be summarily fired.

Your boss' concern is understandable. It would likely be considered a Work Comp claim.

[Ohiogal]

9. Good God

I’m glad you’re okay, but why didn’t they fire that asshole?

This is what Trump has done to our country....

[Volaris]

54. Nonsense. These idiots have always been here. Trump is just the excuse

They now get use to excuse their bad behavior over having a small penis.

[onecaliberal]

10. He needs to be summarily dismissed. Otherwise keep options open. He could return with a gun.

He’s clearly unstable.

[FirstLight]

18. Agreed.

Unhinged for sure... be careful and watch your back when leaving or arriving.

[uponit7771]

20. "He's clearly unstable." after talking to MAGA Cultist about Red Don's middle class tax increase ...

... they're all becoming like this.

They're not doing to good on that issue, they know they're not getting a refund or paying more in taxes while the rich got a top line tax cut.

[JustAnotherGen]

88. Most of what I'm seeing from them

On SALT Act 2019 is -

Why should the rest of the country pay the price for states with high taxes?

Seriously - they are stupid ignorant ass wipes who don't realize the states asking five r relief are the highest contributors to the Federal Government till.

[uponit7771]

92. +1, I lived in a red state and the SALT cap includes the fair taxes that was given non state tax ...

... states to make fair the deductions for state tax states.

We were allowed to deduct a percentage of total sales tax even though it didn't add up to what other states could deduct on state taxes it was what would take a lot of red state tax payers into refund area ... now that's gone too !!

25% fewer refund recipients this year and stupid people like Fuck Rod thinks nearly 40 million people changed their withholding in the middle of the year so they wouldn't pay enough to get a refund back !!!!

Yeah, that guys brain is popping ... he owes a big tax bill and he has no one else to blame but his god and Putin's whore Donald Trump

[TheBlackAdder]

96. Funny thing. There were reports that the higher incomes, ie. most with 2 homes, were Republicans.

.

So, while Trump picked on the Blue states, the folks who are disproportionately hurt are Republicans in them.

.

[uponit7771]

97. +1, IE; OC CA, OP KS, Norther Chi, Northern Easter DFW turned blue. Those people caught

... on before the election about Red Don's middle class tax increase was going to hid them HARD.

But these dumb ass's thought the guy who was sued for running a fake college was going to look out for them !!!

Damn

[JustAnotherGen]

110. That's not true

I lived until November of this year in the REDDEST county in NJ. We are one of the wealthiest in America. We flipped the district AND the county seat mayor and council - so now it's purple.

Are there MAGA guys with porches and 50K pick up trucks here? Yep. But there are a lot more struggling to get buy, renting homes in the side roads.

Are there very affluent Democratic Party members here? Yep.

It's very frustrating to think that folks outside of our state think ONLY Republicans are affluent, rich, and wealthy.


Just remember - people 'say' that Booker had too much in donations from Telecom, Pharma and Banking . . . they don't realize those are very often the jobs of Democratics in this state. Who else was he supposed to get in state donations from?

Rest Assured - my little borough is blue. And I hope you aren't thinking 9K a year in property taxes (not state income or sale - JUST property) isn't for a 'mcmansion'.

That's standard for a 1930's or 1940's colonial style home in this town - about 1600 square feet, no driveway or garage. Good luck buying it for less than 300K.

But - your kids go to a kick ass school and can beat the welfare state kids in the long run.

[TheBlackAdder]

119. I live in NJ. I've got family and friends in every county and I am politically active. It's true.

.

Just who are those who support Trump? The majority were people of higher incomes.

Granted, we've got the Pineys and the rednecks on I-195, South Jersey and above I-80, but what keeps NJ as the number one donor state is it's higher than average income, home to a good majority of millionaires, folks along the Parkway near the shore commuting to NYC and the financial districts of Hudson and Bergen counties... and the majority of them do not vote blue. But, a lot do have multiple homes.

.

[dhol82]

126. I have a house in Nassau County, NY

The house itself is about 1500 sq. ft. However I do have 2.3 acres of property.
When we bought the house the taxes were $5000. This year I will have to pay close to $45,000. That’s just property and school tax.
I have no mortgage. Paid off a couple of years ago.
I will have to sell my beloved house because without the deductions I can’t afford to live there.
Don’t understand how the republicans on Long Island can live with this. Many other properties have tax loads of $50,000 to over $100,000 and more.
We’ll see if there is a change shortly. Not sure it will be soon enough for me to keep my house.

[lostnfound]

138. Oh my god that's alot

I’m at $29K near Chicago, plus another $10K for the house To which I am retiring next year, plus state income taxes of $15K... that’s $54k, of which only $10k is now deductible instead of all of it.

Took a lesser paying job last year so this SALT cap is a double whammy.

[dhol82]

141. Yup. We are screwed!

At least for this year. Hope it improves soon.
Not confident or convinced.

[krkaufman]

142. Sorry

Sorry to hear of your situation, but it definitely puts the lie to the US never having had a wealth tax. (For most Americans, their home represents much or all of their accumulated wealth.)

[dhol82]

143. Yup.

Just hope I can sell my house to some fancy dancy financial person.
May have waited too long. The market is getting soft.
And the taxes are getting punitive.

[Blue_true]

21. I agree. The guy sounds violent and unstable.

The very type that will bring a gun and wait for someone.

My experience is that people like that have other instances where their potential for violence showed through. The supervisors may be aware of this and are afraid to fire the guy because he may come back with a gun and shoot the place up.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

11. If he didn't get fired the boss is an idiot.

That kind of behavior should absolutely never be tolerated in the work place.

Personally, I think I'd have wanted to press charges, but I wasn't the one jumped.

[Blue_true]

24. Sounds like the guy's tendency toward violence is known by supervisors.

They are likely afraid to fire him because he may come back with a gun and shoot people. The guy seems violent and dangerous. We had a couple cases like that in Florida over the last two years, a guy was let go and he came back to the jobsite and shot people, in both cases he targeted people.

I think that the boss should have called the police or at least have an offsite meeting with police to discuss what happened and what may happen.

[brush]

12. Tell the boss you don't feel safe and the magahat...

may come in one day with a gun.

Seriously, it could happen with someone with that temper.

Also talk to a lawyer.

[MontanaMama]

50. +1

This can’t be overstated. Please please please make sure there is a report on file and PLEASE keep your eyes and ears open going to and from work. The MAGAts are an unstable lot. I’m glad you’re okay after this incident. Steer clear of this crazy person.

[safeinOhio]

13. At work it's always

a good idea to take a dive. Don’t come up fighting and will win the fight in the end. The easiest thing for management is to fire both. If you never take a swing it makes it to hard to fire both.

[Blue_true]

25. My bet is the bosses are afraid of the MAGAT.

He sounds like the type of person that has had violent outbursts at work before. Pretty tough situation, the guy seems prone to escalate to lethal violence.

I generally don't talk politics with anyone outside of my family (we are all solid democrats and loath Trump).

[EndGOPPropaganda]

53. Its important to talk politics today - national emergency

In the past it’s been a good idea not to talk politics. But today, avoiding talking politics helps the GOP. Don’t help Republicans. It’s good to tell people this is a national emergency.

[Fuzzpope]

14. Violence

The last bastion of a Coward.

[Leith]

15. That guy has gotta go

Talk to your boss tomorrow. You need more and better than what you got so far.

If it were me, I would tell him that I was considering bringing assault charges against the guy. And that so far, the company's only involvement would be to allow the witnesses time off for their testimony.

I also would have gone to the clinic and given the police my statement.

If we let magats get away with violence, they will do it again and again.

[Blue_true]

26. The MAGAT sounds like a really dangerous person.

I hate to put them down, but restraining orders don't stop truly dangerous people.

I truly don't know what to say about the situation. The boss could fire the MAGAT, but that could likely pave the way to lethal violence from that pinhead. Jumping on someone with a box cutter in hand is not stable, that is a mere second from slicing a person's jugular - the fact that he took out the box cutter says a lot about his propensity for grotesque violence, IMO.

[Lifelong Protester]

16. I am glad you're OK

but this guy has to go!

[nini]

17. you should have called the cops

That guy needs to spend some time in jail.. he's unstable.

[calimary]

64. Somebody in the office should have called the cops!

Dayum - the guy sounds like a real menace.

And unfortunately his behavior and pretty obvious lack of impulse control are red flags. I hope he’s NOT the type of nutcase who feels a need to come back with a gun to “settle things”!

I might be tempted to call the police anyway, just to get this incident on the record.

[nini]

102. I would call them too

And I be pissed my job 'talked' to him. Holy Crap.. he's a 'News at 11' nightmare waiting to happen.

[Initech]

19. Sucks you had to go through with that. But exposing a MAGAhole? Worth it!

[Blue_true]

29. The guy sounds really dangerous. His bosses are likely afraid of him for that reason.

Exposing a guy like that almost never leads to a good end.

[Initech]

35. True.

But like I said I would be making a trip to the local police department ASAP. That guy needs to go away for a long while.

[Blue_true]

39. Yep. nt

[UpInArms]

22. Scary situation

Am glad you are okay ...

I do hope that it gets documented so that it can be used at a later point ... the people who behave in that manner generally continue to escalate until they end up breaking some law ... and I hope no innocent person gets in the way and gets hurt

[Blue_true]

23. Man, you need to watch that guy.

He sounds like a powder keg that is ready to blow and you just lit his fuse. The fact that he took out a box cutter when he jumped on you is scary, even if he did not open it. You need to watch your back everywhere, including in the parking lot coming to and leaving work.

[Initech]

27. Yeah I'd be making a trip to the local police department ASAP.

[ChoppinBroccoli]

28. You Should Have Filed Charges Against Him, Because Strategery

I don't know what State you live in, but here in Ohio, attacking a person with a weapon like a boxcutter is a Felony. A felony conviction means the guy loses his right to vote. One less Trump voter. Strategery.

[LittleGirl]

118. +1 eom

[Ferrets are Cool]

30. I hope he doesn't get off scott free for assaulting you

and threatening to kill you (with a box cutter). I am not in your shoes so I don't know your situation, but he would either be arrested or fired for pulling that shit on me.

[3catwoman3]

31. Jesus H!!!!!

What sort of business do you work for?

[Progressive Jones]

38. A small manufacturing firm. nt

[Codeine]

150. Oh, there's something being manufactured here alright. nt

[cwydro]

151. Yup.

Smh.

[Codeine]

155. One of DU's Nazi stalkers actually put a YouTube video

up about this thread. I guess we put this in the You’re Not Helping file.

[Demobrat]

32. The guy has to go

Violence escalates. The next person he attacks might not be so lucky. Next time the box cutter might be open.

Calling the cops and pressing charges could save someone from getting hurt or worse. I’d hate for you to wind up thinking “I should have”.

[mjvpi]

33. Me too!

He should have been fired and arrested.

[Haggis for Breakfast]

34. Watch. Your. Back.

Do you drive to work ? Look your car over - TWICE - before you get into it.

Be more alert for the coming weeks.

Please be safe.

[kimbutgar]

36. So sorry you were assaulted for speaking the truth

But there should be real life consequences to the maga for losing it and physically assaulting you.
We still live in a civilized community. I know you don’t want to make waves but if the shoe was on the other foot would the maga be not asking for consequences towards you if you were the assaulter? At minimum he should be docked pay. Or Lose his job for making a violent choice. Or being charged with an assault in a legal venue.

Letting him off the hook leads to a bad precedence.

[world wide wally]

37. You know what they call a jerk like that in my neighborhood?

Asshole

[Blue_true]

40. I call the guy violent, really violent. And seem to be unstable to boot. nt

[world wide wally]

43. That too

[Codeine]

152. In my neighborhood they call him "imaginary." nt

[Glamrock]

41. Whoa dude!

Jesus Christ! Glad you're okay. You shoulda pressed charges for assault. Paying through the nose is the only thing these assholes understand. But, that's your decision to make. Not mine. Will say I commend your not backing down. You just can't when dealing with the brownshirts, or redhats if you prefer.

I've switched my game up to reverse psychology as of late. Seems to go a bit further. Just a friendly tip. And if they realize it, it's 10 minutes after you are gone. And they're thinking on what you said.

[lunasun]

42. Wtf is wrong with someone who can't talk smack back and resorts to violence over something like that

Just wanted to shut you down had no retort to trump lies not a stable genius

[aeromanKC]

44. Same guy at Breakfast

Edit to warn of F bombs in video!!

Link to tweet

[aeromanKC]

61. Thank you very much for that

[PufPuf23]

45. The MagaGuy needs to be fired.

And you should have called the cops, had it documented by LE, and pressed charges for your own protection and public safety.

[denvine]

46. Holy shit!

I am so sorry that happened to you. He should have been fired, no questions asked! MAGATS are unhinged.

[Sancho]

47. what a day!

he should be fired!

Here's a heart for courage!

[Julian Englis]

48. Please, consider seeing a doc and notify law enforcement

Above all, I'm glad you're OK.

Still, some unsolicited advice.

1. Always go to a doctor in case there's a future problem, you have documentation. Your supervisor should've made you just to protect himself. If you end up with an unseen complication, he could be in deep.

2. Consider calling the police. This guy may hurt someone else. He may even try to kill you because he's lost his temper and his job.

Stay safe!

[Baltimike]

49. I hope you are okay and he in unemployed. nt

[ecstatic]

51. Whoa! I really hope that guy got fired. I usually prefer restraint

when it comes to firing, but that was over the top. He's a danger to himself and everyone else. I also think you should press charges. He's out of control. Probably attacking his wife/kids at home as well.

[LovingA2andMI]

52. You Should Sue Him...

For Assault and Battery and All Injuries -- plus anything else your attorney can name.

[RocketJSquirrel]

55. "Fire him or I sue the company for tolerating a hostile work environment"

That says it all. --rjs

[Honeycombe8]

56. WOW! I guess he "can't handle the truth." LOL. He's lucky you didn't press charges. Wow. nt

[Hekate]

57. A general brawl in the breakroom with injuries and no one got fired?

Something doesn't add up....

[cwydro]

79. Lol.

No it doesn’t.

OP posted something very similar some months ago.

Interesting workplace.

[obamanut2012]

85. agreed

OP posted something very similar not too long ago.

[likesmountains 52]

139. Yup, poster is just having some fun here..

[KY_EnviroGuy]

58. This event sends a very bad signal to other employees...

that violence, openly aggressive political speech and violation of company rules are allowed under certain circumstances.

It also suggests some or most of management are on his side. I've never heard of a company before that would tolerate and dismiss this type behavior as you described it without some degree of discipline or legal action.

Some things here just don't pass the smell test....... ........

[NBachers]

59. Zero tolerance for workplace violence and assault. For your protection, a record needs to be

established through HR, police, and medical. I can tell you from experience with an unhinged co-worker- violence escalates. I can't understand why management was not more pro-active in protecting you, and the rest of the work force. This guy needs to be gone. And the witnesses need to be put on record, as well. This is huge liability.

It is total dereliction for management not to have escorted this guy off premises, or held him 'till the cops arrived. If you are able to discuss this with an attorney, please do so. The company needs to know this has gone beyond in-house.

[susanna]

78. ABSOLUTELY THIS.

The company's liability will be IMMENSE if he retaliates against the OP (or others in the company) in any way.

SMH at people who don't understand this.

WOW.

[Sherman A1]

133. Precisely

This person needs to be terminated and arrested for assault.

[ooky]

60. He is a danger to people and needs to be off the street.

Where I worked the HR department would have called the police themselves. Being fired is a given. We had no tolerance for workplace violence.

[orleans]

62. i would consider at least going to the police station

to report this.

you might be apprehensive about it, perhaps don't want to press charges, but talk to someone and tell them you at least want it on record/documented.

[ailsagirl]

63. OMG!!!!

Those people are effin' NUTS

I'm glad you're alright but what a thing to go through!!

[flying-skeleton]

65. Wrong decision

I'd have filed a police complaint that would have put this compromised MAGA deplorable on record.

[TalenaGor]

66. omfg immediate termination wtf

Why is his boss letting him keep his job that's an outrage

He needs HR..... I need a new job, let's talk LOL

[Bayard]

67. Make sure he doesn't follow you home....

He's clearly unstable.

[cwydro]

68. Cool story, bro.

[sarcasmo]

69. Make sure that lunatic is fired.

[bdjhawk]

70. I'm so sorry you had to go through this

Remember the time in our society that an angry hothead (especially physically violent ones) were looked down upon and scorned by most of society? It hasn’t been all that long ago and they would usually feel embarrassed and humiliated after one of their episodes. Now they are empowered and their fuhrer leader in the White House normalizes that behavior. They are proud and think that is showing what a real “man” they are.

None of us are in your shoes and you have your reasons for not pressing charges. But if there is a way to get this on record, you should really do that for your own protection as well as others he may accost so his history is documented.

What about a restraining order? Something needs to be in his file with the police.

[bobbieinok]

71. These MAGAts are very emboldened and are getting super dangerous!

[Doreen]

72. I am so glad you are all right.

Maybe reporting it would help the chances of him doing it to others be less likely.

[Indykatie]

73. WTF?

How does one like a job and a boss that would allow an employee to be physically attacked without the attacker being summarily dismissed? Doesn't your company have a Treatment of Others policy? I also am asking myself what drives you to be seeming OK with their inaction. Sorry if I missed the part where the guy was fired in your subsequent comments.

[Crunchy Frog]

75. I do think you should press assault charges.

Even if it's an inconvenience to you. This guy is seriously deranged and dangerous.

[JI7]

76. what if he gets violent with someone else ?

[bobGandolf]

80. You should have had him arrested.

Sick and tired of seeing these Mag heads get out of serious consequences.

[bobGandolf]

81. You should have had him arrested.

Sick and tired of seeing these Mag heads get out of serious consequences.

[Maru Kitteh]

82. Why don't you answer anyone's questions here?

You know, people tend to think they may be being taken for a ride when they see a story like this, and the author doesn't respond to inquiries.

Just saying.

[cwydro]

83. Like I mentioned - very similar story a while ago.

I didn’t buy it then either.

[obamanut2012]

86. Almost same exact story posted a few moths agos

by same OP

[cwydro]

89. Thank you. I remembered it too.

Almost identical.

[johnp3907]

90. Must've been a long day.

[cwydro]

94. Lol, these "anecdotes " are endlessly amusing.

I do miss DiabeticMan. Sigh.

[nini]

103. I just noticed that too

Too much real stuff is going on to have to be played.

ugh

[cwydro]

105. It's a habit with this person apparently.

I find it amusing for the most part, but hate how many are taken in.

[Raine]

129. I wonder about that too

especially when the poster won't press charges, makes me doubt the story.

[Dorian Gray]

84. You didn't press charges?

This guy is a ticking time bomb. Please press charges. You have witnesses.

Was he fired for this?

[bearsfootball516]

87. Forgive me if I have a hard time believing this, for reasons the above poster said.

People here can be awfully gullible. This story sounds ludacris.

[Mr.Bill]

115. And the OP has not commented anymore

in the thread after the original post. I just hope everything is okay.

[Luciferous]

91. You should have gotten the police involved. He is clearly violent and sounds like someone

who might come back and hurt you or others!

[Dread Pirate Roberts]

93. He had a box knife in his hand?

That's aggravated assault, a serious felony. You can't let this go. The guy belongs in jail for doing something like this. There are people sitting in jail for a lot less! As for this happening in the workplace-that is a summary firing offense. Assaulting a co-worker can never be tolerated. Forget about a worker's compensation claim, this is about an unsafe workplace. I applaud your toughness in shaking it all off, but being unphased by this violent attack and allowing it to go without being adequately addressed are two different things. It isn't a slight to your boss or to your job to take appropriate steps. Your boss should know that.

[raccoon]

95. Cool story, bro. Lol. Nt

[MineralMan]

99. That's terrible. Really. What a story!

Hmm...

[bearsfootball516]

108. And people on DU wonder how Trump voters can fall for fake news so easily.

Look at the responses in this thread.

[cwydro]

109. No shit.

No doubt somewhere a troll farm is laughing itself silly.

[sarisataka]

100. Hook, line, sinker

You have to stop now, you reached your daily limit

[cwydro]

101. Lol.

There’s always plenty to take the bait.

PT Barnum said it best lol.

[Codeine]

121. There's always one.

[lpbk2713]

104. Not a stable individual ... threatening with a deadly wepaon.

Over a difference of opinion during a coffee break discussion. Management
should be put on notice and deal with this before something ugly happens.

And it's a matter of record that Trump is a chronic liar.

[Blue Owl]

107. Looks like his stupidity trumped his stability

All over the REAL Commie, Donald Trump! (seriously have these people no clue of how deep the Dotard is into Russia's pocket?)

[vsrazdem]

111. I can't believe you didn't press charges. He could do this to some else. He needs to be put

in check on his behavior or it will only continue and possibly escalate. He needs to have some consequences for his actions.

[mikeysnot]

112. that happened to me too in 2005

when I slapped them with reality. Except it was a Bush supporter.

Sad to see things have gotten worse on the last 14 years.

I do not even talk to them about politics ... no point.

[Miigwech]

117. Report this F-up to the FBI

Sounds like this guy is on the verge of committing something bigger ... don't let it go, you might be preventing another mass shooting. magat's are locked and loaded and just waiting for the spark to unleash major civil war.

[Codeine]

120. Oh come on, man.

You sound like a middle-schooler insisting he has a girlfriend, but she lives in Canada.

[Vinca]

122. Magaboy should have gotten fired. I wouldn't want that kind of liability working in my business.

[progressoid]

123. Cool....

[Doremus]

124. Where did OP go?

[Hekate]

132. Told his "cool story, bro" and stood back to watch, perhaps?

[Doremus]

144. Sure seems like it. I don't know what else it could be...

[Soxfan58]

125. Maybe the next person

He beats to a pulp or worst, will call the police.

[Mopar151]

127. Give the boss a little room to work, folks.

Got to make sure all the paperwork is signed, all the big bosses are in line.

I went through this when the Shift Lead was crying at dinner break, and Joel and I were gentlemen about it - encouraged her to call the plant manager, about the owner's pet putting the creepazoid moves on her. We'd gladly have kicked the crap out of him, but she did the right thing, and called the plant manager. Ed showed up, made sure the shift ended and the shop was locked up,
When I rolled in the next day, the day crew was humming like a powerline! After the day crew left, and Creepy was led out bawling (wailing about Why did you report me for that?), they laid me off (I was a temp), and reassigned or laid off the rest of the shift.

Not an ounce of regret, and sharing the story got me another year + of temp work, for someone I had already worked for.

[samnsara]

128. you NEED to report this.. we cant let the magats get away with this stuff....

….believe me there NOTHING scarier than having a cop come to your house....they need to learn they cant do this shit. This guy assaulted you. He would have turned you into the cops in a mili second if it had been the other way around. You need a heart.

[Codeine]

134. He can't report it

because none of it happened.

[cwydro]

136. Well yeah, lol. Except he posted the same thing a while ago.

So it hasn’t happened twice!

Actually amazed how many have fallen for this nonsense.

[Itchinjim]

131. Im retired now but my former employer had a zero tolerance policy towards violence.

Both of us would have been immediately suspended until the outcome of an investigation to determine if both parties were equally to blame. If not, then the puncher would have been fired with absolutely no chance of getting their job back. And the union would have fully backed the company.
And the cops would have been called.

[GulfCoast66]

135. Cool story.

Try getting a Cubical Buzzard.

I hear they work well and really bring out the best in DU.

[Hekate]

145. With a deliberately provoking Merry Xmas doormat to go with it....

[jimlup]

137. Wow!

You are a walking Saint. I'd have pressed charges.

[A HERETIC I AM]

140. I'll take "Things That Never Happened" for $500, Alex

[Horse with no Name]

146. I started feeling bad after reading everyone

Then I got to the ones who thought like me. I feel better now.

[Lucid Dreamer]

147. You are correct Heretic, but the prize goes to Maru in post #82. n/t

[Raine]

148. Impossible to report something that didn't actually happen

except in YOUR imagination..

[cwydro]

149. The "commie" bit was way over the top lol.

Cannot believe how many swallowed this lol.

[DUgosh]

153. They are losing their shit

Their jobs and tax refunds - sorry you got punched but loved your story! I may share it on Fb if I can figure out how!

[Codeine]

156. Don't share it, man.

You’ll look as dumb as he does. The whole thing is nonsense.

[Codeine]

158. And then he threw bleach on me!! nt

[cwydro]

159. Ha.

Yeah, that story seems to be unraveling also. Smh.
