Try physically assaulting someone at your office, and you'll probably lose your income long before the justice system determines you to be guilty.

I don't need a jury of 12 peers to voluntarily choose to stop associating with you, and neither does your employer. Unless, of course, you think that every firing should be done by a jury trial..?

[chrischen]

The jury isn't there just for show you know, or to give a semblance of credibility.

[vkou]

The jury's not for show, but their decision has no bearing on whether or not I want to employ a contractor in an at-will capacity.

[true_religion]

Maybe they can fire him after an arrest?

[qzygr]

Cool. Where's the proof that he actually did any of this? I mean, other than what that woman said.

[vkou]

It doesn't matter. I don't need a jury of 12 peers to fire an employee, for any reason whatsoever, or no reason whatsoever, and I sure as shit don't need one to can a contractor.

People get fired from blue-collar jobs for much less, all the fucking time, without a shred of evidence beyond he-said-she-said. You don't even need to allegedly commit a crime to be fired on the spot from a lot of jobs.

> People get fired from blue-collar jobs for much less, all the fucking time

That says more about our at-will, "Right To Work" employment economy than it does about the morality of firing this individual.

[qzygr]

Nice. So, as I said, he loses his income without any proof that he did rape anybody. All cool and dandy indeed.
