The husband of a cosmetics CEO who received widespread backlash after she was caught on camera confronting a man and threatening to call the cops because he stenciled “Black Lives Matter” on his own property was fired from his job Monday.

In a statement posted to Twitter, Raymond James wealth management firm said Robert Larkins was no longer an employee.

“Raymond James has zero tolerance for racism and discrimination of any kind,” the company said in its post. “An inclusive workplace is fundamental to our culture, one in which people are free to bring their whole selves to their careers, and we expect our associates to conduct themselves appropriately inside and outside the workplace.”

“After an investigation into the circumstances of a video alleging racism by one of our associates, we have concluded that the actions of he and his partner were inconsistent with our values, and the associate is no longer employed by Raymond James.”

The new HOA Geico ad is perfect. “I see you’ve met Cynthia,” who had just cut down their mailbox with a chainsaw.

How much was the property worth 18 years ago when it was bought? Many people in CA cannot afford to buy the house they now live in, especially after almost two decades.

“The husband of a cosmetics CEO who received widespread backlash after she” Wait, the “husband” is a “she?” Stopped reading there.

There are no HOAs for single family houses in that part of San Francisco. Pacific Heights is one of the wealthiest parts of the City.

It’s funny how the left, who have wrung their hands and pissed themselves silly over McCarthyism for decades have managed to make McCarthy look like a rank amateur.

I wonder if Karen here STILL considers San Francisco the ‘most tolerant’ city in the country?

I didn’t speak as to that, but the thing that comes to mind is that someone who thought it was a good idea to publicly post up a video of he and his wife doing something at least marginally stupid and very Karen-ish is probably not the smartest guy in the world. Might not want to have that guy managing your investments.

It was just a guess on my part based on the rules of some HOA. Though I don’t know what housing prices have to do with whether a property is under their authority.

I think Raymond James jumped the gun. If he had done the same thing about somebody painting a “Trump stinks” or such do you think the response would have been the same?

Possibly. On the other hand, there’s the CFO that thought it was a good idea to accost a Chick-Fil-A employee on video and then post it - and he got fired as well, with race having nothing to do with it.

If your job involves using intelligence, maybe taking video of you being an idiot and then posting it online with pride in your idiocy *should* result in you getting fired.

I watched the video Juan was an ass. The woman who is accused of being an outright racist was very reasonable and polite. Asking somebody if they are defacing somebody else’s property is not racist. She was clear that if it was his property she would have no problem with what he was doing. He demanded they call the cops. He was trying to start crap. A simple “I do live here.” Would have been the end of it.

“What right does this idiot have telling a homeowner what to do on his home. “

She thought he was graffi-ing/tagging somebody else’s property. She didn’t know he was the owner, and he didn’t show any ID that I saw.

Worth mentioning that, no matter what the other guy’s behavior was, this wouldn’t have been a thing if they weren’t stupid enough to upload it to try to get support and outrage against their neighbor.

So in 2020, you can be fired for the actions of your spouse. Interesting - I have to believe there's enough here to keep courts and law firms busy for years.

Wow. Sounds like you are justifying this fool. This was not a public place but a homeowner.

She thought wrong. Maybe a few days in jail will allow her to think next time.

It wasn’t his house. The address is 2004 Gough St. Its in Pacific Heights. Very upscale

2004 Gough St, San Francisco, CA is a condo home that contains 6,277 sq ft and was built in 1900. It contains 9 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. The Zestimate for this house is $13,737,179.

The amateur artist runs a dog walking service, Pack Heights, out that location. The owner of record is John Newmeyer who also resides there. what he did was the equivalent of doing graffiti on your apartment building.

Update:Juanillo appears to share a Guerniville address with another resident of 2004 Gough St.

David A Crowther

Zestimate®: $328,213

A Classic case of 2 a**h***s meeting each other.
