Moss Point Mayor Mario King is an intimidating pistol-packing mayor who harasses non-millennial employees to force them out of a job, uses city resources for his own personal use and retaliates against employees who try to take a stand against him, according to the latest lawsuit filed against the first-term mayor.

For example, the lawsuit said, he’s accused of using the Fire Department’s living quarters as a “personal motel” for sex and accusing four white firefighters of being racist and prohibiting them from displaying any Confederate emblem or flag at work despite no indication of them ever doing so.

He’s also accused in the paperwork of violating one’s second amendment right to bear arms when he prohibited anyone other than police personnel, including residents, from carrying a firearm at city hall, though he himself allegedly shows up at work each day with a pistol.
In fact, the suit says, King on at least one occasion pulled out his firearm on the job and used it “to intimidate and harass” an employee.

During the mayoral campaign, King vowed to bring youth to the city and one of the first things on his agenda when he took office was to request a list of all employees and their years of service, allegedly in an attempt to weed out older employees.
