Terminating an employee can be a scary thing. I've had to term more than I care to think about, and have had my car egged, tires slashed, and my car spray painted with profanity. Needless to say I'm quite cautious about how and where I do it, and am unlisted. I do of course have weaponry in the event some fool wanted to take it to the next level.
Trying to play the race card in this one shows the ignorance of those involved. I can only hope our justice system is not so warped that this could even make it to a courtroom.
