A painter armed with a high-powered assault rifle opened fire at a lawn mower manufacturing plant in Kansas, killing 4 and wounding 14 on Thursday. Five of the victims are in critical condition at local hospitals.
Plant employee Cedric Ford, 38, clocked in to begin his shift in the paint room at Excel Industries in Hesston, Kansas on Thursday morning.
About 90 minutes before the murders, a sheriff’s deputy arrived at the plant and served Ford with a restraining order filed by his girlfriend.
After co-workers “teased him a little bit,” the father-of-2 left work and returned a short while later armed with a high powered rifle and a pistol.
The shooting rampage began at 4.57 p.m. in a parking lot at the plant, about 35 miles north of Wichita.
Ford parked his prized Dodge Charger in the parking lot, exited the vehicle and shot a woman in a car before entering the plant and firing at random.
Ford reportedly chased co-workers around the plant. Police say he was “actively shooting at any targets that came into his sights.”
Reports of multiple shootings at Excel began to flood in to 911 at 5:04 p.m.
The shooting rampage ended when the first officer to respond to the scene at 5:06 p.m. engaged Ford and shot him dead near the paint room.
That officer is being hailed as a hero. The Sheriff’s Department received a congratulatory call from the White House.
Ford, of Newton, Kansas, reportedly suffered from “mental issues” and was often teased by co-workers at the plant.
One former co-worker told ABC News affiliate KAKE News that Ford was “teased a little bit” by co-workers.
Another employee said Ford “was the nicest guy I know.” He told KAKE that he and Ford chatted normally that morning after they clocked in.
Harvey County Sheriff T. Walton confirmed the sheriff’s office served Ford with a restraining order from his girlfriend at around 3:30 p.m. Thursday. Walton believes the order is what likely triggered the attack.
Walton said such orders are typically served “because there’s some type of violence in a relationship.”
Ford appeared to be a devoted, doting father to his 2 biracial children in photos posted on his Facebook page. 2 of the images show Ford posing with the probable murder weapons.
Damn. May he & the victims rest well. Mental health days are so important. So, many people get fed up and snap. You just never know what a person is going through and what their threshold is/can be.
What was he “teased a little” about?
This is crazy how he go 0-100.
When I googled him on Facebook and saw he had two children I got a serious case of the sads.
Not only will they have to live without a father but also with the burden of him being a mass murderer.
When will people think of their children first.
Bless the families whos lives will forever be changed.
And he’s originally from Miami, FL and a felon.
His Facebook page is littered with pictures of guns and ish.
Lordt now we got black gun nuts.
Sensible people realize that every decision you make positively or adversely affect your children. Often times, long term.
Keyword sensible. SMH
Its never too soon for me, but he looks like he saying how u doern, with bad lisp.
Why dont people just go to hospital and say, I feel like killing a mofo, help me please.
God Bless the familes and victims.
That factory work have folks, bugged de hell out.
I don’t mean no harm, but he looks crazy in that pic up top. Beyond sick of these tragic stories.
I’m waiting for them to link him to Isis or Islam .
Sad that he didn’t have anyone to vent to , so tragic !
RIP to the victims .
I luh you!
This is why folks need to stop making life more difficult for others intentionally! Go to work say hi to everyone, talk to your closer coworkers and mind YOUR business. Anyway Pardon my ignorance but what exactly is teased a “Lil bit”? They knew this man who others described as nice was mentally unwell and teased him for it? Do they think by minimizing it to just a Lil bit makes it okay. Really sad parts are these kids and all the other ones that are now one parent short if they werent already and the fact that he shot more than those that bothered him, the ones that he killed probably weren’t even the ones that teased him they probably survived.
Exactly which is why I don’t know why people fuxx with people! Leave ppl the fuxx alone!
That’s what I was thinking. And wondering if that’s what the teasing is about.
But after co-workers “teased him a little bit,” the father-of-2 left
work and returned a short while later armed with a high powered rifle
and a pistol.
^^^^^^^^^
Crazy.
RIP to the ones killed. Speedy recovery to the wounded.
That’s why you should always be kind , just a smile can change someone’s day .
Good morning @Roddy!
+1
I’ll SLAP you!!! You are PREACHING!!!! One of my favorite quotes is, be kind for everyone is fighting a battle you know nothing about. That ish is the TRUTH! It don’t cost a damn thing to be nice. And if you can’t be kind, be quiet!
idk what’s going on in this world it’s getting worse
The eyes say it all.
His look like, if he ain’t on one, he about to be.
Prayers for the victim’s families and his children. While he shouldn’t of went on a rampage, they shouldn’t of been teasing him about his issue for you never know if a person is gonna snap as he did. Just sad all around.
Define: teased a lil bit, YT FOLKS!
RIGHT! THAT PETTY SHIT NEEDS TO STOP.
Man , this shit just sad … mental or not your grown ass killing ppl bc your feelings hurt … man , look smoke sum10 take a shot of Henn & relax . They talked abt Jesus so why not you ?
GM sugah.
“Why dont people just go to hospital and say, I feel like killing a mofo, help me please.”
_________________________________________
I know this is a tragic story and I mourn for the victims, but this really made me laugh out loud. Sorry, but it did.
You know the media finds the worse pic they can find to villify you.
He had been served a restraining order from his girlfriend. They served him at his job yesterday. This is what set him off
Girl, I will fix my mouth in accordance to my thoughr process. Yeah he look like the orginal Villiage People back up singer. Why he didnt go to hr, the union, police, a center.
tell u why it would not have made a difference
Cause, they still fugg with u. I got 1 good crazy man at my job. He will walk up to me and say, did I just hear you say midnight….huh Dwayne
..no I did not. But I go to sleep before midnight, when I go home to my family and treat them nice. Like I treat you very nice
He will not kirk out on me…NOPE
He has Iq an over 180 and graduated with the highest honors, but he certified. I know it
When you shoot @ multiple ppl , you vilified yo self .
Sandra, is it Morbid Friday? Can we have freaky friday? Fun Friday?
That’s why I don’t fucs with folks about ANYTHING. Don’t talk politics, racism nor sexism cause you never ever know when someone will just snap but a simple beat down would have sufficed or a new job. Why people feel that they HAVE to stay at jobs treating them unfairly or in relationships that are bad for them. Now those two babies and his victims have to live with this for the rest of their lives.
I feel sorry for the victims and their family. If this story is true, people need to leave folks alone at work, they are not your friends and you dont know whats going on inside of a person.
I go to work and say good morning, and say bye when i leave, thats it mostly. I dont want to hear about your kids, or what you did that weekend. Im not gonna be telling you all my business to be talking behind my back. Grown people shouldn’t be teasing period.
Damn folks gone learn to cut the bullying out…
Luh u more
LOL i’m with you on that one. People need to smoke some trees and all that anger will just go up in smoke.
Good morning.
Make sense and teasing him because of it would definitely add fuel to the fire.
look smoke sum10 take a shot of Henn & relax .
^^^^^^^^^
Hey its kept ME sane. Kinda.
Just being nice could probably save a life
I thought this was the norm for Fridays lol
Sometimes ppl joke around at work I wonder if it was that and he took it seriously. I know some people just can’t take a joke cus when my cousin got murdered back in December in the hands of someone he knew very well it was because of what everyone thought was some harmless jokes because dude hung out with them all the time ad there was no indication he felt some kind of way about it because he used to be laughing it up with everyone. It’s still sickening
Because you still have to go back to day after day…HE was not the cause…folks at his job were…
teased him about wat?? ?
I know right. Can we get something uplifting or funny and not all this death stuff?
I believe his disabilities…
True.
Um hmm. His type usually has a lot of issues! I do not trust colorstruck men!
Also, I’m sure he wasn’t teased a little bit. Probably a lot. People need to be careful because you never know who’s on the edge. Still, I feel sorry for all his victims. A grown man should know how to handle situations like that better.
Morning suprise. Chile folks need to say this, believe me u will get help. I have seen it at hospital….
Who knows coulda been going on for years…
& probably daily! smh
Maybe its too early. But when I seen the word “teasing” I immediately
envisioned Bernie Mac (RIP) and his skit about “HEEEE was TEASING MEH”.
*hangs head in shame*
You know ain’t lying.
We had this mental defect who up and quit one day almost two years ago and I told the cleaning lady that if she walked in and saw our bodies on the floor who did it.
The day dude quit he went on some mumbling rant, the meaning of which I still do not know until this day, but all I cared about was that he turned his damn badge in and didn’t have access to the campus any more.
Teased a little bit, is subjective. A little to you may be a lot to me. This man is mentally ill, just like all of the white work place shooters are. Teasing in the workplace equals harassment.
If they got bully prevention in schools why the hell they aint got it in workplaces? HR is not always the damn move. They are biased. They work for the damn company just like your ass does.
Praying for the families and also this young man’s family as well. I am not condoning what he did but people need to leave people alone. It’s sad but adults can be bullies as well. You never know what someone is going through at home and then to come to work and have people treat you like crap is not a good feeling. Praying for all involved.. such a sad story.
Why is that an issue that the kids are biracial? Why wasn’t he just the father of two kids? Sandra has color and/or race issues. My prayers go out to all involved.
Lol that’s like the crazy Asian one at my last job. Talking bout no one likes him, he has no friends, no gf…I’m like um…I’m watching you. The day he left I didn’t go to work lol.
You know Sandra is color-struck.
Workplace bullying has consequences. Folks shouldn’t have eff’d with him. Next!
NOBODY wants to be the brunt of a “joke”. And yall know YT folks think they can say some slick shit and try and pass it off as a “joke”. But THEIR “jokes” consist of black face or monkey’s or jabs at Uncle Barack or touching our hair or noose’s, or licking their fingers and touching our food. All of THIS is a no-no. Told yall the other day my supervisor told my co-worker I made a rude comment to her because I said if she knocked on my door (AT HOME), I wouldn’t answer. #myhouse #myright #offtheclock #whosentyou #afterhours #scrammutt #you’renotwantedhere
I know you didnt. I am now on this site as a white woman bc of you.
My boss gone ask me why I didn’t come to work..I thought to myself um I don’t need a reason if I got LEAVE…but I told her a mental health day. Next time I’ll wink when I say it too lol.
I vote for Freaky Friday
um yeap…Thats why I tell my co-workers to stop funkin wit this white guy at work…he laughs and jokes but then sometimes he get SO DAMN mad..” I’m like yall betta leave crazy alone…I’m always nice to his crazy ass, just in case he decides to put that gun in his jacket pocket and walk his as back in IT Dept. thinking he Rambo.
My question is why grown azz men and women teasing each other? People beta stop with the bullying. Not excusing him, u knew he had mental issues, so he should have been talked to, not teased on. Sorry for everyone involved.
Are you trying to justify this man’s(and I am stretching it) actions?
Look I have been bullied all of my life and yes I have thought about visiting violence on them but I always consider the fact that I don’t want to spend the rest of my life in jail although when I have dreamed about winning the lottery I realize that l would have enough money to put hits out on several people.
Look at how they portray THEM vs. US when a shooting takes place.
YT folks get a driver’s license pic.
Blk folks guns and middle fingers.
Hey boo!
Morning DoD – See what you saying, I have wanted to.slap the piss outta co workers, but because I am Sane. THANK God, I didnt follow through. Teasing at any age is not good, but when something clicks inside kill them. You need help. Its his fault and his family. They know he needed medical attention. Now he need a lawyer and mental help.
Lol that won’t do anything…all he has to do is grab one of y’all and make one of y’all get him access inside….
Told you what to do sis. “HEP HEP Im being stalked. YEEK”. Play the victim. THEY do. Why not you?
??????????
That’s people really need to stop teasing others
All of this. I don’t understand people who know they’re on the edge but don’t leave a bad situation. People are human, and I do believe everybody has a breaking point. I also do not get into arguments with people about their opinions. Some people just like to argue. I refuse to engage them. Some people just have issues and they are itching for a chance to start something, probably already unhappy anyway,.
I saw on EBT a case where the coworkers weren’t teasing this lady but she had mental issues and went on a spree as well it’s just terrible their struggles even though she was receiving the help it still happened.
Yup I’ve had it happen to me…I was gonna hurt that bish too…
Unfortunately most mentally ill people don’t think there Is anything wrong with them and the ones that know something is not right and seek help are often sent home. Mental illness is off the chain and help is almost non existent. More and more you read of instances where family members say they tried to get help for someone but there was no bed, they wouldn’t take their meds. etc. This is another issue that should be addressed by the powers that be, but is not.
Smh. Prayers up to those killed and wounded. I tend to befriend the crazies. My mom always like you don’t know nobody’s name except for THEM! That’s right! When they walk up in here they will be like ?PEP, you can go. Especially when I worked in the PD. A bunch of crazies with guns. I bullied no one. They bought me lunch and told me their crazy stories. When co-workers got out of pocket, I went to lunch, the bathroom or on break to my car. Texted my mom who worked (still does) there and gave her a warning. STOP PLAYING WITH PEOLE THINKING IT’S A JOKE!!
How selfish! He should’ve at least thought of his children.
That first picture of him! LAWD!
You like my pic of Teena? Figured if I was gonna be white I was gonna be HER since I am sucha HUGE fan. She was BAD back in the day too.
Why don’t you be proactive and report him and your co-workers to HR so they can ahead of the problem?
My boss tries to play that ish…once my clock ends at 430 I bet not hear nothing from you…
Suicide by cop……………………………..?
Lol love it…hits on people…truest words ever spoken…like that chappelle skit?
I work for Uncle Sam at a defense contractor facility.
He has to have a badge and decal on his vehicle before they let him past the security at the gate which is more than a mile from the building l occupy-so he would be full of holes long before he got to us.
But we’ve had several holiday events since and he hasn’t attended so I guess he finally got a life.
AND bring up what they did in preschool.
Sometimes I wonder if these folks do stuff like this just to gain notoriety look at that uber driver that randomly started shooting people for no reason the other day. What the fawk ?
Hides in kona
He does have the crazy look in his eyes…
Morning bugga
No one is making it an issue except you.
People gone learn to leave people alone. He was not right in any way, but he was obviously pushed to a limit. What kinda grown people bully each other? Hate it happened, but…
They don’t think they have a problem. It’s everyone else.
#truth
That wasn’t rude just the truth. She better deal with it.
That’s why background checks are done before giving guns…he must not have been legally diagnosed or been seen by a professional for his issues…or got the weapons illegally
There’s nothing heroic about taking someone’s life. People need to stop harassing other people cause you neva know when that person is gonna snap such as this man with 2 kids.
not those people he was shooting at…he was just shooting randomly
Lol I work on base too…but I know a little more than you when it comes to their so called “security processes” as I did an audit on it. Let’s just say being on base won’t help you either…
Worked in field for years, and some people do voluntarly ask for help. I know longer work in field, because I love my sanity.
I disagree with this. I am not sure why HR has EVER been involved in employee relations. I think employee relations needs to be done through a neutral OUTSIDE 3rd party. I aint sure HOW to handle it honestly. I had to write a paper on it once. Cause even the outside party is biased cause they getting paid by WHOM? The company. HR is almost NEVER any help IMO. Somebody gets fired, someone gets reprimanded, someone gets told on… and you still have a pissed off entity.
Lord help me…Dub is this you? CTFU!
Hmmm what did he do to get the restraining order?? More than likely something violent
Oh yeah everyone loves a rat, and if dude is mental his having to go to HR will really enrage him.
Just make friends with him so if and when he does go off you will be one of the survivors.
Yes.
LMAO.
I love Teena! I was listening to
Portuguese Love (my fave by her) when she died (the morning after I found out) and got a damn speeding ticket smh.
Preach…cause my crack baby cousins think they’re just fine…and so does my premie aunt…
BM: I’m always nice to his crazy ass,
True because if he goes off and when he comes to your cube you can say he remember we’re cool.
Ha,ha,ha!!
Some will. Usually those treated in the past and no the signs or know when they aren’t themselves early on
Lol don’t talk at all if you can help it. That’s why I’m antisocial. Don’t even go to holiday parties or organized events lmbo.
Never seen it.
I’ll google it on youtube when I get home.
First of all… he look crazy! Second.. they are saying someone put a restraining order out on him a few days ago. Third: These people (the unknown who work for darkness) is really pushing this gun control issues and they are pushing hard. Before they had mass shootings every now and then.. gun bill comes up – gun bill fails… they are going to start have mass shootings every other day until you give up your rights for arms!
Better start stashing and storing your arms… cause if they can’t take your guns they will take your ammo!
I know he snapped I mean instead of teasing him those who did should of been nice and perhaps this wouldn’t of occurred.
Oh my!!
I guess that’s why God hasn’t allowed me to win the lottery.
Ha,ha,ha!!
He look a little cray what was the extent of yhr teasing?
Ford parked his prized Chevy Dodge Charger in the parking lot, exited the vehicle and shot a woman in a car before entering the plant and firing at random.
–
IT’S TEW MURCH GOING ON RIGHT HERE…FIX IT LORD.
I said the same thing
I have expressed here before she even passed what a HUGE fan of hers I am. I have a thing for ladies who play guitar/bass. Hell instruments cause Teena was fie on the piano too. My screen name is a Teena song. ABOUT RACE. To her MIXED RACE Goddaughter Maya Rudolph. See what I DID THERE?
*drops mic*
When I first started working for the government at 19, there was this guy who made all kind of sexist remarks and has violent remarks about women. In particular myself and a few of the other young girls there because we refused his advances. He then referred to us as sluts regularly until he was fired for other disparaging comments and violations. We then had to have heightened security for the office bc he left rather enraged and they were scared he was going to shoot up the space. He called many times trying to get information about people. You just never know – even if HR does their job there’s still repercussions.
75% OF THE GROWN FOLKS IN OUR COUNTRY…I HATE THE DEPARTMENT I USED TO WORK IN. IT’S OK TO BE A LITTLE PETTY AT WORK, BUT DON’T EFF UP THE OFFICE ENVIRONMENT WITH HIGH SCHOOL MESS.
Let people work in peace. At so many work places, people act like it’s HS. Go to work, take your @ss home, wash,rinse, repeat
Lol We >>>>here<<<<
I don’t work on a base just a contractor’s facility.
I understand what you are saying because I have been so involved that I forgot to flash my badge at the security guard, and all the guy could do was yell at me, but as I stated I have to drive a long road to get to my building so I guess they could send security vehicle to intercept him.
One night I was leaving and security stopped me because I was speeding and going around the speed bumps.
I was like-dis some ish.
Oh snap. I missed that. *cries*
I wonder if they will make this an episode of Criminals At Work
I remember when that white fellow did his guns misdeeds last week and all some people could do was look at his race. I wonder what the story is this time. Murderers be killers.
?? I JUST figured out who you were with your response to Yoni.
Oh I was targeted TODAY! An email was sent from mgr to flunkie……..”How much work has YONI done today. And if there is work to do why do I hear YONI talking.” BITTTTTTCCCCCHHHHHHHH yo coward ass couldn’t walk next door and ask ME yourself? REALLY? You, instead of picking up the phn, EMAILED my super and asked about me, who is right next door! IT’S ON!
I’m finally after all these years living my e-truth.
I’ll agree…never thought about killing a mf…but I was gonna bust a bish head to the white meat lol
Your 1st sentence startled me lol ..but I luv that quote ..
I hear you! I accompanied a family member to “the clinic” a couple of times to help his mother out and I swear between him and the “system” I thought I was losing it. God bless you because I know I couldn’t do it,
Exactly. I have some co-workers that come in the office in a bad mood. Like how someone pissed you off and it is only 9:00 a.m. I just can’t with people now a days.
It’s more to this story. Something just doesn’t make since. Why kill him though? They could have just arrested him.
She needs a timeout. Document document document. CYA. And dont leave stuff in your email. Cause IT can and will go into your email and erase it trying to make you out to be a lie. Print it out and take it home. Every single day. The fact that she put it in writing is stupid on her. The whole chain or whatever parts were sent to you. Be respectful in your response and dont convey feelings. Facts only. You got this. You know ALL of this.
So you’re white and Bren is a lesbian pretending to be a gay man ?…this pasture be doing the MOST
right…im nice…just in case he has specific MF’s he wanna kill. I wont be his target…
I agree , just not this particular situation ,but right kinda like how they did Trayvon Martin …
No holiday parties though? I have to have my martinis and free martinis nonetheless but I feel ya.
From what my coworkers told me they gave up the stickers as to not make us targets. Me, personally I don’t like working in federal buildings. I liked working in a building where we weren’t “known”. I always felt safer.
Oh, I know. My job is like that now. I had an older lady, who I think was really trying to bully me! Or, I’ll put it this way, she is a bully, but I know she and most people don’t think she is. She’s charismatic, and really funny, so people won’t her to like them. She thinks it’s okay to act the way she does, because she plays it off as her joking around, and nobody ever holds her accountable. I mean, she can be real cool. She was making rude/side comments, trying to be shady towards me, but only when other people were around. Being really friendly one day, then standoffish the next. Just petty with a high school mentality, even though she’s old. People get me mistaken because I’m quiet and avoid conflict. I will go out of my way to not argue, therefore, letting the other person, I guess, think they’ve won. But don’t me mistaken, when I feel a certain way, or I feel disrespected, I WILL put you in your place. I will also leave your ass alone. I see no point of talking to people who behave that way towards me. I don’t understand people who do. Anyways, long story short, I don’t fool with her, or any of them really, anymore. She can’t stand it. Doesn’t understand it. I’m like lady, I’m not here for you. She even came to me and apologized, saying did I do anything to offend you, that’s just my personality. I was gracious, but bitch bye!
New post. Creole woman.
If there is an emotionally disturbed worker disrupting the workplace, he needs to be fired for everyone’s peace of mind.
Kids will do that…lol
***
Lol I don’t do mass events. I will go out with select coworkers and teammates. But I hate going and having to participate in awkward conversation. They be trying to “get to know you,” and I’m like bish I got friends I don’t need new ones leave me alone lol.
Okay, we need a prayer circle to pray you up out of there for real! That chick has it bad for you!
Yes I hate that ish with a passion. I know work is at least 9-10 hrs out your day BUT why would I wanna do anything else with y’all but work. I get tired of seeing y’all asses sometimes.
My mother is #currently in the process of suung her workplace. People have all type of post on FB, city sites, letters up and on fake @ss city blogs. Straight lies and slander about her and her best friend who both WORK for the city. People gon learn and her pockets gon be on swole. This is her 4th lawsuit against the city. Won the previous 3. Stupid @ss people even typed slander on paper with CITY LETTERHEAD and hung it. City and others are about to go DOWN.
KONA!!!
It’s their husband/wife, gf/bf, and/or kids, or they’re just mad at the world. Then, they try to take it out on you…
Yeah…right That means I will have to damn near tell on the WHOLE dept…. Imma be the SNITCH. Nope! Crazy Joe leaving in June anyway…and I will be on vacation. Timing is everything.
YES. This exactly. Lol unless I can charge the time on overhead nope i’m not going. With the exception of my first real job I really liked all the people I worked with so that was cool. After that, just ugh. Nope.
THIS TRICK HAS TRIED IT!!!!! She skated past go and stole $200. Proof Proof Proof and knock her @ss down back to reality. #consequences
This is your post, you decided to thow that in, I decided to comment on it’s irrelevance.
BUT BITCH BYE!!!! AND BUH-BYE AT THAT! TUH…I PROMISE WE HERE. YOU CAN CATCH THIS TONGUE LASHING AND THEN CATCH THESE DEUCES I’M CHUCKING AFTER THE FACT.
What’s the ‘biracial’ label put on the children have anything to do with this story? Kids are kids. Not sure why that was thrown in there.
HR within a company mostly brings drama. People befriend people and workplace gossip means nothing when your friends literally are the higher ups and/or have hiring and firing power.
Yup tried it with my mother too…my mom played their asses and been retired since the age of 40…
That’s because you’re a freak…
Well it’s a campus with lots of buildings so that’s not an option.
Yeah, old boy put people through lots of changes. First he got all pissed off that he had to drive his vehicle to the test area which is five miles from the main office building (where I still work) and the only way he could be reimbursed was to go through DTS which I admit is a pain on a good day, and fill out a claim.
So we finally got a government owned vehicle for his whiny a$$. That wasn’t enough so finally the contractor made an office at the test area just for him.
I was talking to my friend and I effed up. I looked over the cubicle wall and thought he wasn’t there and I started talking about his a$$. After my friend left he came over and said some gibberish.
I was thinking God was watching over me that day because l was sure he carried a gun and I would have been a goner.
Funny, non-whites are killed but white killers are spared…foh!!!
And the company gets hit with a lawsuit?
But yeah there are ways the company can make things uncomfortable enough for said disruptive employee that they quit.
awwwww man! sorry for those kids!
In my case everybody (that’s still alive) involve will get reprimanded or fired maybe (Union) Because we all had plenty “training” basically…watching videos of how to “properly function” in this bytch…oops plantation..oh I mean workplace…
He’s black not white.
No such privilege.
Lol sorry Didn’t mean to do that. You were just coming through do strong lol
No, for real!
I could tell some stories myself, trust I relate.
Probably the latter of your last sentence. You know we’ll find a way around anything
Not safe no where, no mo, SMH.
THEY (YT) have it bad for me. Yes, I gotta go. SOON and VERY soon.
What a phuckin weak a$$ loser! Guess he didn’t put on his big boy pants that day like the rest of us have to do! Resiliency Mofo! May he rot!
Wow…I’m guessing he’s white…let a negra ask for all of that…We’d be on the unemployment line.
I drive my personal vehicle on base to do my audits and don’t get mileage I sure was pissed but I don’t drive often enough to complain.
I do be mad tho if im running late and I have to drive an extra mile on base at a slow ass 30mph to get to my office AND get my ID checked lol.
Men really need to learn coping skills…..
Preach
Oh, EYE didn’t see the email. My UNPROFESSIONAL ass SUPERVISOR showed it to my co-worker and my co-worker came back and TOLD ME! #stupidstupidstupidstupid
He sounds like that half Asian/half white guy who killed his three roommates then went on that shooting spree and his parents tried to turn him into the police after they saw his youtube videos and they were like old well.
My mother did a paper on it…the statistics are startling…
He looks a little crazy in the eyes, especially in the pic with his kids.
Wow you sound touched.
I guess you’re a Sandy Hook Truther like that sheriff in Oregon.
Looks soulless…
ADOD:Wow…I’m guessing he’s white…let a negra ask for all of that…We’d be on the unemployment line.
Yeah he was a old boney white Vietnam vet Tea Party fool.
He was always whining about the government but didn’t complain about those Direct Deposits Uncle Sam was making into his account every other week or the free health care he was getting at the VA and driving a Lincoln Blackwood and a big a$$ Ford truck with a cab.
Thank you!
Look at his eyes? Who would tease him?
One of my co-workers at my old job lost it during supervision, called the sup a Bish then proceeded to take off half her clothes and run through the office screaming and cursing at people she had old vendettas with and knocking over ish. I picked up my briefcase and me and the other two Black women in the office rolled out! You know our union got involved and she was put on paid “stress” leave and returned to the job and they gave her a new sup and acted like nothing ever happened. Supposedly they “punished her” by taking some of her cases and responsibilities. Our sup was pissed.
According to some sources, it was workplace racism. I doubt it was something as innocent as “teasing.”
Lol DEAD…I bet…
Dry wuz teasin me
Wow…crazy!
Seriously you never know folks mental space….
Exactly. I don’t why folks in here are talking about how people should have been nicer to him. He obviously had a few screws loose prior to this incident. For all we know he could have threatened his ex and/or the kids.
Doesn’t she have to approve your leave? What was the need of her asking that?! Some people are so…well I don’t need to complete that sentence. When I’m on sick or annual leave my supervisor still calls or texts me with questions even though they are not supposed to contact anyone off the clock especially if on leave.
my grandpa, dad, and a bunch our family friends (old cats) worked in a plant environment their entire lives and they tease all the time. i mean, really tease. folk just crazy these days.
Naw I’ve never been asked about why I was taking leave or had to have my leave “approved”. I just took it when I felt like it…cause last time I checked it was a benefit of mine to use as I please. I could see if my job depends on me being here…if I’m not here then it hurts me and no one else. One reason why I’ll be leaving this agency soon enough…
????????????
EYE AHPROVE
Guess it depends on what the teasing is about…if I have a crooked leg and I asked you to stop talking about it and you continue to do it day in and day out…that would become a serious issue…
Yes…because in my state there has to be some sort of evidence of abuse in order to even get one filed…he was a certified nut
Right!! You never know what is going on in people’s lives. Additionally, Why are they teasing @ work? Do your f#ing job and STFU.
??
Well thank God that fool left.
We need to switch agencies then
Yup I’ve worked for a few…even as the lowest on the totem pole (intern)…I was never asked. This agency treats us like children, don’t trust us and ish and it’s unprofessional…I can’t…
And grow the f#!$ up! Is this a job for adults or a schoolhouse with kids?!?!?!
Touched? That’s a little harsh lol
So you’re good with paranoid?
That’s good to know.
But when he went off in that meeting on his last day my black a$$ was sitting in a chair next to the wall on the side of the room opposite the door and he was on the other side of the table.
I almost made a break for it.
I’m sure the girlfriend is so glad he didn’t come after her and kill her too.
Just a sad situation all around.
He has “crazy eyes”. RIP to the victims.
The people who are mentally ill normally don’t know they have a problem. It’s those people around them who know the problem. The mentally ill are in denial (see Kanye West).
This guy had a criminal record and a FB where he bragged with guns. Why didn’t his employer & co workers know about it? Something aint right.
Nah, that set him off, but he was headed off the rails anyway. See his FB page where he’s holding guns.
People sound silly saying he was the nicest guy they knew.
I wonder if he ever clocked out?
Them are the crazy ones! Lol
R.I.P. to the victims. He posted some videos of himself on FB and the look in his eyes and the contents reads crazzy! Sad.
Wow, this is really sad. I don’t see anything that could’ve been done differently by anyone.
“Light teasing” might’ve been str8 going in. But still that’s no excuse for him. If he was really mad, he should’ve asked for the day off and take it out in the boxing ring or somethin’.
When I first saw him, he reminded me of that guy on Oprah who wrote that “DL” book.
My mother has a man that has mental health issues at her job. This story just scared the heck out of me. We’re going to have to talk about her escape plan.
So true! It actually takes so much energy to be mean and unpleasant.
Watch who you tease.. You never know what state of mind they are in…
Right!
Thank you. That is one of my strategies for staying alive in the workplace. Hopefully the shooters will pass right by me when they recall that I “kill with kindness.”
That made me laugh god forgive me.
Nigga just snapped! baby’s mom, work and who knows what else.
Thank you!!!
LMFAO! I know that’s right.
True that I don’t like new co-workers telling me all they business in the hopes that I will tell you mine. Nope not happening today bish I’m like I don’t you!
He probably knew how to act around certain people! He showed one side to some, and another way to others. I have had boyfriends like that. And people Only know the side they see, that’s all they could know!!
So true. Especially in this situation. Tease someone because they are in legal trouble. Leave people alone. If you are a friend, be a friend an offer a prayer.
Or minded their own business.
Damn shame…now these kids have no father. No winners here. I bet u HE didn’t even know he would snap. But there are always 3 sides to a story. His, hers and the truth!! Sad.
He spent too much time around white folk that he even started acting like them. White woman didn’t want him no more so he snapped. He was a regular ol OJ Simpson.
Are you kidding? She still had a job? Stay safe. As long as she is medicated she should be ok.
That too
he looked a lil sweet..rip to the victims
That shirt he’s wearing with the overalls screams irony.
His girlfriend has been charged with giving him the weapons.
You mean he needs a suit and a casket.
A lot is going on.
They need more than that. That woman that ran those people down in Vegas smoked too.
Gurl, I thought she was trying to snatch my weave lol
I’m seeing more of a snap and twist followed by “you see me being crute in these ‘ralls” in that first pic. Glasses on the head is a no for me.
Forgive me.
Exactly! I’ll bet they feel like ? now. It’s all fun and games until……..
RIP and prayers for the families ?
I got one and all I said to my ex is if she keeps texting me I’ll kill her.
That pic on the left looks like the caption could be ” He did what?” It is not funny what happened but the mans expression made me think of that (don’t judge me)
Sorry about your cousin?
*hugs*
Cole? You stupid????
Bloop!
But sometimes them crazies be fuxx with you and you don’t want to be bothered and then you still get shot because you didn’t bother to give the time of day. Fuxx with them or not, they’re crazy you may be shyt out of luck regardless unfortunately. Dealing with something like this right now at work.
THANK YOU! And his a$$ was shooting randomly aka shooting anyone…nice or not. Mental health is REAL!
You’re right Sandra! I had the same crap happen. It had been happening since day one. Dude was saying crazy stuff to me. Telling me I had on his heels. Telling me in front of co workers that he had Facebook stalked me. I tried to “ignore” him as most of your posters had suggested to be a solution against the crazies. Sorry but when they are crazy asf, ignoring them only makes them mad. He then came and called himself “confronting” me about why I DONT talk to him. I gave a quick response that I don’t talk to married men coworker or not. I told hr. Come to find out he’d been aggressive with others. He got fired a day after my complaint. I’m slightly freaked out but I’m glad he’s not there harassing folks anymore. This is scary asf!
THANKS
This is true! Hopefully the folks at your workplace are more sane. Prayers for your continued safety.
That’s just a Dodge Charger, not a Chevy Dodge Charger!
Thanks. You’re right.
Chile, there’s someone that works at my job that looked postal upon hire. He’s always antsy and scary-acting. Maybe cuz he’s young, who knows. They say it’s the ones u least suspect but I do the most suspecting something from him on the regular…
Real tears @ I’ll slap you…
Lol Something me and my crazy friends say when somebody is “preaching”
Girl thanks! They ended up firing him because he was so crazy and made ppl feel uncomfy. He messed up because he’s a middle aged black man and the complaints came from young yt women. I knew it was coming.

Oh wow. So sad. Folks gotta get the help they need.
“Light teasing” really? Teasing is WRONG period!!!!
