Intern Goes On Rampage After Firing

(CBS)  A Minnesota college student allegedly went on an obscenity-laced rampage at a local television station after being fired as an intern, court charges say.

According to the Star Tribune in Minneapolis-St. Paul, Jennifer Nicole Anato-Mensah, a 21-year-old University of Minnesota student, is accused of chasing after an executive producer at KSTP-TV who had just fired her, damaging company property along the way.

Anato-Mensah made threats and shouted obscenities at executive producer Danielle Prenevost after the firing, telling her "You don't know where I'm from, I'll mess you up," according to a criminal complaint.

The newly-fired intern also allegedly kicked in a conference room window in an attempt to reach Prenevost during the Oct. 13 incident before being restrained by a male employee, the complaint said.

Anato-Mensah faces misdemeanor criminal damage to property charges and is scheduled to make a Dec. 30 court appearance.

So you made a comment without knowing the facts as I said. I don''''t know what her race has to do with it though. That could be done by a person of any race.

I know race doesn''t have anything to do with it. I was arguing against a racist who was claiming this person was a peace loving muslim. I simply replied what this person''s race was and it happened to be black. If she were white, I would have said she was white. Perhaps you''re the racist since you bought it up?

Yes, we do know. Not that often. In most cases criminals are not "carrying" anything at all. A person like you carrying a gun into a room increases the chances of death in that room. That''s a fact since that person is carrying a deadly weapon designed to kill people into that room. A gun that could be used by the owner to kill someone after an argument. A gun that could be taken away from the owned by another person and used to kill. A gun that could be dropped and fire hitting innocent people. A gun the owner might not be able to use even if needed to stop a crime. You guys dream a lot about incidents in which you could use your guns to protect yourself or others but when the gunfire begins many gun owners have cowered under a table and waited until all the action is over to say "Don''t worry. I have a gun!~" "LOL" One armed, volunteer security guard, a gun owner and NOT a trained security guard, froze during the Colorado church shooting and did not fire his gun even though parishioners were screaming at him "SHOOT HIM. SHOOT HIM." He didn''t. It wasn''t until the female officer, who was a well-trained former police officer, came into the scene that the killing ended...and the shooter killed himself. Guns are not designed to save people. They are designed to kill them.

Displeased said "Is that because you run and hide?"

That''''s what gun owners do when they can''''t use their guns...I am NOT a gun owner!~ I don''''t need a gun to be courageous. That''''s why I don''''t own one!~

Then why you said "I "think" she''''''''s black"?
Posted by truthrocks

Because I wasn''''t certain that was the correct picture.

Then he said "So when you have somebody approaching you screaming and threatening you, are you going to try and predict their actions and assume they''''''''re not going to harm you? Or are you going to get the situation under control?"

The difference between you and me is that I don''''t need a gun to get the situation under control!~
