GREENSBORO -- On Tuesday, Abdou Larabou Moussa showed up at Kay Chemical celebrating the morning's terrorist attacks.
On Wednesday, Moussa arrived at work in combat fatigues. On Thursday, he was fired, arrested and told he would be deported.
Moussa, 28, was charged with trespassing after refusing to leave Kay Chemical Co. on Capital Drive, Greensboro police said Friday. Company officials say Moussa loudly celebrated Tuesday's attacks and later distracted workers by dressing in combat fatigues.
After his arrest, Moussa admitted he is in the country illegally, according to Detective S.E. Sanders. Immigration and Naturalization Services will soon deport him to his home country of Niger, Sanders said.
Moussa was an employee of Key Resources, a local temp agency, and had been working in a Kay Chemical warehouse for about two weeks. He began taunting employees when he showed up for work Tuesday, Kay Chemical Vice President Steve Mosh said.
"It was incredibly inappropriate," Mosh said. "He said he was glad (the attacks) happened. He was gloating."
The next day, Moussa came to work dressed in combat fatigues. He was quickly told to go home. On Thursday, Key Resources fired him.
Moussa then told his employers that he wanted to come back to Kay Chemical to get his final paycheck. At the request of officials at Kay Chemical and Key Resources, police escorted Moussa back into the Kay Chemical. When he refused to leave, he was arrested, Sanders said.
Moussa never threatened Kay Chemical employees. Pam Medlin, owner of Key Resources, said Moussa's actions and clothing, however, made his co-workers feel threatened.
"I wanted him to know this is not tolerated in this country," she said. "You cannot say this. It is viewed as a threat."
Company officials were in compliance with the law when they fired Moussa, according to Deborah Ross, director of the ACLU of North Carolina.
"North Carolina is an employment-at-will state," she said. "You can be fired for your political beliefs by a private employer here."
Key Resources conducted a thorough background check on Moussa, but found nothing to indicate that he was in the country illegally, Medlin said.
Maybe it has something to do with the .50BMG round I use for a paperweight.

Notice there is no editorial content added by the ACLU spokesman. Interesting.
After his arrest, Moussa admitted he is in the country illegally...
The WTC attack did not occur because Americans have too much freedom.
It occurred because:
The fact that William Cohen, Dick Gephardt and other statists propound that the only solution to terrorism is to "trade freedom for security" betrays the fact that their true agenda is to curtail freedom.
Disagree. They are a focus of insurrection if they remain here and a cost to our system and a risk to our guards. They should be deported (possible with a secret injection of a powerful carcinogen.)
And in addition, single men with no families, from those countries should EVEN be detained. Their back grounds should be thourghly investigated. If it is found that they are EVEN suspected of any terrorist ties, then they should be held UNTIL this matter is resolved. And then they should be DEPORTED AND NEVER ALLOWED TO RETURN.
Finally, to hell with Fox and Canada, OUR BOARDERS NEED TO BE SECURED ONCE AND FOR ALL!!!!!
Once again, the Anti-American Civil Liberties Union clarifies life as it should be.
I wonder - if this creep decided to no longer engage in commerce with his employer for political reasons, would the ACLU make a peep?
Your behavior at work is completely unsatisfactory.
Your employment with our company is terminated as of this date for misconduct.
As soon as you pull this message out of your @$$, where my boot stuffed it in, you are no longer employed.
Sincerely,
The Mgt.
