Wrongful termination, I work as a security guard at mall. I got into an altercation with a senior citizen.?
She park in a handicapped parking spot, i asked here to remove her vehicle but she refuse. I removed her from the vehicle and subdued her with mace but when I slammed her to the ground we fell into the street off mall property and thats why they fired me. Can i file a lawsuite?
Answers:
Wait, wait, wait.you maced an old lady for a parking violation, then you physically manhandled her, then you slammed her to the ground...
But the reason you got fired is...you fell into the street off mall property? (Gasping for air while rolling on floor laughing...) Yeah, that's probably why they fired you...
Yeah! Manhandle that old lady. Don't take none of her crap!!
Uhm...no. A senior citizen? Come on. This is a case where you should have just told her her car was getting toed, at the most...and told your supervisor.
Any person can sue any other person at anytime for anything. If what you said is true, I would have fired you as well.
Get over it ... your are not funny ... you are not amusing ... you are not entertaining.
Yeah, you should definitely sue your parents for raising such a moron.
I'm surprised, I figured the old lady could take you without that much of a fight.
Nice story. It's spelled "lawsuit".
Yes, you can file a lawsuit against your former employer.
While you're at it, file one against the little old lady for the emotional trauma you incurred during the altercation.
Your chances of prevailing are minimal.
You subdued her? was that eventually,after she'd smacked you round the streets?
no, i think that was a valid cause of termination since it was an improper handling of the situation.
Take the time during your unemployment to learn English.
I'm surprised someone didn't try to help her by ripping your wanna be head off and putting it in a dumpster where it belongs. You over stepped your boundaries as a security guard. You don't fight with senior citizens and spray them with mace then slam them to the ground. You should have called the real Police to handle it properly. The lawsuit will most likely be filed against you and the mall. Is it Mr Peabody or Mr Peabrain?
yes, you can file a lawsuit. anyone can file a lawsuit for about any reason. very rarely do they ever say this is ridiculous/enough is enough. they couldn't collect all the filing fees and keep the nightmare /bureacracy going if they did.
Just because you can file a lawsuit does not mean that you should. You had no right to touch her let alone remove her from her car. What were you thinking ?
what mall ? Many malls have outsourced the security and it's all contractors/private firms. I would think that mall security will be sued over this . They may find that their contract is not renewed and they no have the contract to provide security to the mall. The press / PR would be a nightmare if this gets any exposure.
On the subject of lawsuits, have you considered that she may be able to file one against you personally ?
Hey . It`s people like you that should never be in a position of authority . Roughing up an older person like that .
You should be ashamed . At least you were terminated !!
I'm sorry, but you're full of B.S. I used to be a manager for several security contracting/asset protection companies and part of my job was to supervise security guards. If anybody did what you said he would instantly be in jail for assault and battery, and the business would get seriously sued. A security guard is legally only a private citizen, and cannot use physical force merely to get people to comply with parking regulations. Using such a level of force even against a shoplifter or a trespasser would result in legal liability and criminal charges, probably even if a public police officer did that. So get a life, or at least do some more research if you're going to troll.
WTF are you thinking? NOONE is going to help you on that BS. BTW buckle up beitch that was my grandma and I'm coming to get you!!
