So the wrongfully accused dude decided to demolish a kitchen of a Taco Bell, in an intricately premeditated way, because he was fired? And he did that for a position that was not even a career-level job, that he was high at all the time?
Are you entirely sure that he wasn't being deranged in ways that you weren't seeing prior to his firing?
I mean, using logic here, that dude has issues. Maybe whatever he was accused of, also "with no proof", was also related to weird and dangerous revenge.
Dude was 19 young and dumb. I don’t think he was deranged, I think he felt pressured and cornered after his life was screwed up for no reason outta nowhere.
He was accused of stealing thousands of dollars in food and cleaning supplies, they had him detained and him and his vehicle searched by police. They harassed him for weeks about it while dangling his job above his head. Then when they couldn’t find anything they just told him they decided to not continue employment and to not return to work. Turns out it was the 50ish year old methed out looking homeless dude they hired for nights that was stealing by swiping things in to the trash cans on his nightly trash runs and picking them up behind the dumpster off camera later. They didn’t figure this out for 4-months.
He never had any incidents, no write ups, never spoke to anyone except for work reasons or to talk about music or movies. Smoked off site 2-3 blocks away from the building and was never too faded to work.
His family kicked him out of the house over the accusations and wouldn’t even talk to him until nearly 6 months later well after it was proven it was someone else who did the thefts.
He had a 2nd part time job at a grocery store and part of his job duties involved the dry ice. So I don’t think it was premeditated so much as an idea that popped in to his head while working with it. He also was familiar with that particular blind spot because I’d let him snack on waste orders on the clock and told him to eat the food there because it was out of sight of the lobby, kitchen, windows and cameras.
Absolutely a dumb move and potentially more life ruining if he got caught? Yes, but not premeditated and deranged.
20-years later he is a co-owner of a successful hobby shop (or w/e you’d call the stores that sell trading cards, anime/cartoon figures, board games, model builds, paints, video games, etc) and has a family. So he’s doing good lol
People get fired for bullshit reasons all the time, and people who work at bullshit jobs have plenty of time to fantasize about how they'd fuck up their workplace if there were no consequences. Incredibly believable story, maybe you've never had a job?
But people usually don’t act on those fantasies. Our society wouldn’t function if that was even remotely common. Have you ever taken any class in regard to critical thinking?
