    So what? That isn't even close to being a reason to kill people. Losing a job or money in the grand scheme of life is trivial. You can always get another job and replace material things. I've lost jobs and i simply laughed and said ok your loss and quickly found another one. And the jobs always turned out to be better then the one i lost. Temporary problems are just that...temporary.

    Did I say it was a reason?

    Messing with the wrong people will get a terminal manager killed.

    With the statement above, and others similar to it, it would appear that some people perhaps misunderstood the intended concept being conveyed.

    Maybe the misinterpretation is from emotional senses, maybe it's from a long day where clarity is difficult to grasp at times, or whatever the case may be.

    However, it's pretty clear arithmetic - well, to me at least.

    Creating (and maintaining) a hostile environment will create a hostile result.

    That said, I'll admit that there is a few CEOs/presidents/owners of companys that I wouldn't have a problem of seeing them be put down.

    Didn't take this long.

    Dig up an old Dick Simon's driver, if any are left. Dicky Simon's lost a couple dispatchers and at least one mechanic to pissed off drivers.

    I'm surprised, given the tendency to solve all problems with extreme violence that the media is trying to convince us is the norm in this country, that it doesn't happen on a weekly or daily basis.

    Like I said. Mess with the wrong people (severely disturbed drivers) by misappropriating his paycheck after he quits or is let go you are going to have big consequences. Knowing the ######## culture at knight it isn't surprising

    I hear you too many weak people in society that just wont simply man up and move on and get a new job. So he shot someone and then himself. All that over a job that's just insane. I doubt his checks were messed with because he probably owed money for orientation or something.

    I mean with Knight, you left out the Sweet Simon driver that turned the state building in Sac into a drive-through
