Nothing to see here…move along.
I really do classify this one as workplace violence. Seriously doubt that the Aloha Snackbar had anything to do with it.
That being said, it’s also why I should be allowed to carry at work. Never know when something like this might happen even in my very white collar office building in my very affluent neighborhood.
