In reply to the discussion: CeaseFire employee/gang member charged with kidnapping and rape [View all]gejohnston
(17,502 posts)21. ever hear of the silver rule?
Do you know what happened between his arrest and his firing?
No, but I have to wonder what took so long.
Do you have any evidence of anything nefarious going on in the background?
I never said there was. He was and is an active member of a criminal gang.
If so please present your evidence rather than implying the organization was somehow tied to this guy's crimes.
If it were some pro 2A group, some gun control advocate certainly would. It did remind me of Big Tim Sullivan. While I have no evidence, nor did I claim that one had anything to do with another. I was however applying the silver rule: do unto others as they would do unto you.
Your subject line is an outright lie, someone who was fired three months ago is not an employee they are a former employee.
the crimes happened while an employee, so not a lie. If I did change it, it would also be misleading.Edit history

So do you expect every employer to monitor their employee's activities outside of work?

I guess I should rephrase that, we don't know if it was immediate but it did happen shortly after

orly? The daily google-dump is nothing more than an effort to highlight the misdeeds of one person

He was fired. Period. He is no longer an employee, your subject line is false.

Fine. I'll happily stipulate that CeaseFire is no worse than the NRA

CeaseFire is run by well-meaning ninnies, NRA's board is downright malevolent

I don't like everyone on the board, but that does not make them criminals.

I just showed you a few he's committed (not that he'll likely be charged with any)

So you now acknowledge there is no evidence of wrongdoing and they do some good work

Well I suppose we now know the real reason for his opposition to armed individuals.
