    This is an open forum??? Right??? So by airing your dirty laundry on here anyone including DOT can read the posts and if they like can open an investigation. Not too hard to put 2 and 2 together. All my opinion tho....

    Oh your for sure right, I would go down with my ship if I had turned them in, I dont deal with large companies that use DAC or any of that jazz, I could get pinched and still have a job tommorow, I think that my old employer will surely get themselves in a jam soon enough on their own power, my help isnt needed.

    Exactly...Then you don't have to wear a "snitch jacket" for the rest of your life!

    There is no shame in blowing the whistle on a public health menace.

    Sorry...We'll just have to disagree on this one.

    I have never been nor will I EVER be a "cop caller".

    Your neighbor's wife is getting the hell beat outa her......... you just watch? or call the cops?
    Most would make the call on the way across the street to help her out.


    While different it is a similar scenario to putting this public health menace out of biz.

    Like I said before............ the person(s) that this sleaze ball company kills could be a family member or friend of yours.
    I see no honor in defending this company.

    Are those the only options that you see?

    I'll go help her out...I'll just never call a ######' cop to come screw the situation up worse.

    It's not remotely similar on any level...

    Public health menace? That's a little melodramatic...It's a sleazeball company for sure but that doesn't make them a "Public Health Menace".

    There is no honor in defending the company...I am not defending the company.

    But everyone these days seems to think that the way to handle every situation is to call a cop or make a new law...Then when you can't breathe without some dogooder calling the cops on you, The same "cop caller" will start snivelin' about all of our freedoms being taken away from us.

    I have no use for people that can't consider any option but to "call a cop!"

    Bricks, you made some excellent observations and a great point.

    But in this case, I'll have to be in the keep-your-trap-shut camp. The reason I feel this way is had the young man followed through with the idea of turning this nincumpoop in, it would have been out of revenge, not for altruistic purposes. Revenge is one of those things that will eat you from the inside out, like a cancer. For his own well-being, it is best to simply move on with his life.

    If this company continues to operate the way it is reported to us, it will get busted and shut down. You can only fly under the radar for so long. Somebody will make a mistake. Hopefully, it is at a portable scale rather than in a school zone.
     
    Wargames Thanks this.
