Man kills himself after row at work over non-PC joke
The Daily Mail (U.K.) ^ | April 10, 2010 | IAN GALLAGHER and CHRISTINE CHALLAND

(edit)

Roy Amor, 61, who was devastated at the prospect of losing his job making prosthetics, shot himself in the head outside his house.

He was facing a disciplinary investigation after suggesting to the black colleague that he ‘better hide’ when they noticed immigration officers outside their clinic.

It is understood that the man was a close friend of Mr Amor and was not offended. However, it was overheard by someone else who lodged a formal complaint.

(edit)

The black man, who is believed to have attended Mr Amor’s funeral and had known him for many years, is said to be ‘shattered’. 

His distraught family believe that what he intended as a light-hearted remark became overblown. 

Mr Amor, a classic car enthusiast, was married to his wife Ann, a former nurse, for 39 years. The couple have a grown-up son and daughter.

“I would imagine that the answer can be had with a few minutes’ web searching.”

Well I suppose some semblance of hunting does exist in England. But truth be known. I'm not that interested. :o)

Roy must have had some other things on his mind or was very depressed.

Sorry, the correct term is: Political Corruption!

Another soul killed by the offended; Marx and Lenin would be proud.

In the USA, so far, it probably would have been ignored.

You must be kidding. I've encountered many who are just waiting for the chance to file a grievance over anything.

Another nosey nannystater jerkoff.
I must say however, that killing oneself is a sure fire way of losing your job. I have zero sympathy for self killers.

Shotgun licenses are relatively easy to get hold of if you don’t have a criminal record or a clinical history of mental illness. Rifles are a bit harder, and require you to jump through many hoops to justify you needing one (being a member of a gun club, or a hunter, or a sportsman etc...) and each rifle needs a seperate liscense, whereas a shotgun license allows you to buy as many shotguns as you want.... Handguns and automatic weapons are completely banned though....

Telling a politically incorrect joke in 21st century Britain (or even the west in general) is kind of like criticising the glorious leader in Stalin’s Russia. You know you aren’t doing anything morally wrong, but your fellow citizens may denounce you if they catch you doing it to cover their own arses, and you’re f-ked if they do....

RIP. However, this fellow must have been pretty mentally unstable to off him self for this. I wonder what his full life picture was.

“I work for a large company and this is pretty much what my supervisory training teaches. “

Sounds similar to my last Fortune 500 company’s policy.

The little boy was just agreeing with Ray Nagin, the mayor of New Orleans, who said he was going to keep New Orleans 'a chocolate City'. He wasn't refering to candy.

What did the boy's parents do to defend him? Anyone know?
