A 7-Eleven clerk who was fired after a bullet-riddled dispute over his U.S. Border Patrol cap passed a lie-detector test indicating that he didn't instigate the clash, a radio talk-show host said Friday.
[...]
He said he was fired because of his views on immigration.
But Margaret Chabris, a spokeswoman for 7-Eleven Inc., said Kirchenwitz was dismissed for violating company rules prohibiting employees from engaging in confrontations with customers.
"He wasn't fired for his political position. It has nothing to do with that or his views on illegal immigration," she said.
Interviews with Kirchenwitz's co-workers and feedback from store customers "raised other customer service issues that were concerning to us," Chabris added. She said she couldn't discuss details of the personnel matter.
Kirchenwitz said he has repeatedly received good job reviews from 7-Eleven.
"I'm a people person," he said. "I have don't have negative customer interactions."
Denver talk-radio host Peter Boyles, a crusader against illegal immigration, announced Friday on KHOW- AM (630), "Bruno is telling the truth!"
Boyles said the station footed the bill for the test. Polygraph results are considered too unreliable to be admitted as evidence in U.S. courts; nevertheless the results spurred KHOW callers to demand a boycott of 7-Eleven for canning Kirchenwitz after the June 26 incident.
Boyles also blasted Basalt Police Chief Keith Ikeda, who was quoted as saying that Kirchenwitz told the men to "bring it on" - a challenge the ex-clerk denied making.
Kirchenwitz said that 7-Eleven officials told him he had "invited these two gangbangers to meet me after work because I wanted to fight them, which is totally untrue. I have nothing to hide," he told the Rocky Mountain News.

Follow-up ping
so that makes him a 7-11 truther?
I detest 7-ELEVEn (sic).
Will he sue?
I would!
Just to inject a little reality, a guy was fired from 7-11. Not exactly the end of the world.
You rely on the veracity of lie-detector tests in the USA?
Granted they’re more sophisticated than they used to be, but they’re hardly DNA or video suveillance evidence.
Our slightly to left justice system at work.
He should.
Perhaps bigoted customers engaged in a confrontation with him. Certainly when they brought guns and shot up the place (when the employee wasn't even on shift) there was some resentment about his "being there".
A guy was fired upon AT 7-11 too because of his skin color and off-site politics.
Given the racist groups like La Raza, to allow Mexican illegal communities to get away with acting out their attitudes can only lead to future crimes of even greater damage.
It is long past time to follow Mexico’s “Mexico for Mexicans” attitude and make sure that Mexicans realize that they are not Americans, and that “America is for Americans”
How one can convince Gringo De Mexico of this remains problematical.
LOL!
PLEASE COME AGAIN!
