ADM should have fired the guy immediately.

He then left the group and returned a few minutes later swinging a hangman's noose and laughing — an exchange captured on video by one of the plaintiffs, Derrel Lewis, a skilled laborer at the shipyard.

Lewis' lawsuit says Collins lunged toward Lewis at one point, trying to grab the phone from his hand. The lawsuit says Lewis' 11-year-old daughter later saw the video clip and was disturbed by the footage.

"It's just shocking," said Glenn McGovern, Lewis' attorney.



It's all a mess and this Collins guy is a POS, but why would the guy who videoed it show his 11-year old daughter???

I wondered the same thing at first, but then I thought that maybe he, as a parent, wanted to show his daughter that, yes, there are still racist morons out in the world you need to be aware of.

Dude is either hammered drunk and/or pilled out, or he's borderline retarded.

Yeah, he might be any/all of those things.
It's possible too that he's just a flat-out racist.

I worked with a lot of AAs in the fabrication industry. 95% of them would have rolled that dude up if they did something like that.
