He enjoyed an opportunity for self-aggrandizement, and sadistic bullying against a trapped employee who couldn't do anything. He came to the window under false pretenses--asking for a glass of water, so he could unload. He was so proud of himself that he posted a video. He was so cowardly that he then retracted it, unsuccessfully.
His protestation that it is free speech is BS. He was using what he thought was sanctioned public opinion to be a bully just this side of assault. Psychologically, he's the same type that enjoys beating girls in Arabia because their ankles show, or driving them back into a school building on fire because they ran out without their full covering. He's a power tripper.
The leftists who support him don't care about any reality except furthering their pet causes. That's why, when normal people are outraged (a few outrageously outraged) about his conduct, they scream "Free speech! Free Speech! Intolerance!"
If he were my employee, he'd be gone in a minute. Of course, he's mount an employe suit, but I'd do my best to ream him if he did. No recommendations from me--I'd provide his video. If he had any people reporting to you, how do you think he'd treat them?
Typos... If he HAD any people reporting to HIM — last sentence.
Well written, well thought out, and to the point. A Free Republic Hall-of-Fame post. Many thanks!
