Jason Stanton, a distraught Wayland Chevrolet employee who just learned the car dealership was going out of business, may be charged with disorderly conduct after he got into fights allegedly fueled by a “liquid lunch,” Police Chief Dan Miller said today.
One fight, just outside the Wayland Chevrolet dealership’s door, was caught on video when a TV news camera came to do a story on Friday about the dealership revealing it would close that day, putting 30 employees out of work.
Stanton is facing potential misdemeanor disorderly conduct charges, which could also come for other employees, Miller said. ”These guys went out to have a liquid lunch earlier and then one thing led to another,” Miller said.
Miller said Wayland officers were called out three times Friday for incidents involving employees of the dealership, where owners said the bad economy and lagging sales forced them to close.
Expect more of this. Anger is building to rage and people are getting very frustrated. Not to mention scared as the prospects of losing everything looms closer and closer.
It will probably be a close call as to whether the Republican diversionary tactics work as they did in Weimar Germany for the Nazis. I would like to think that the majority of Americans will know better.
