Summary

Patrick Thomas Egan, 39, was arrested in Colorado for allegedly attacking TV reporter Ja’Ronn Alex, demanding to know if Alex was a U.S. citizen and declaring, “This is Trump’s America now.”

Police say Egan followed Alex’s vehicle for 40 miles, confronted him at his news station, and tackled him, putting him in a headlock that left Alex struggling to breathe.

The attack is being investigated as a possible bias-motivated crime.

Egan faces charges of assault and harassment, with prosecutors yet to file formal charges.

    No no no, you’re confused. The field the company is in doesn’t matter. What matters is if that you get to a C-level position.

      I’m thinking of the woman who said over the phone in response to her claim being denied, “deny, delay depose, you’re next” or something close to that. She was talking to a regular employee at the health insurance company and was immediately arrested and charged, could get something like 10 years in prison. So you don’t have to be a high-level employee.

      edit: rechecked the details and found:

      Boston was ultimately charged with threats to conduct a mass shooting or an act of terrorism, with a bond set at $100,000, as first reported by local station WFLA. That’s a second degree felony, punishable by up to 15 years in prison.

      But if you make it to a c-level position as a minority in a company the same crowd will spend all day everyday talking about how you’re a DEI hire.

      So heads racists, tails bigots I guess.
