My mother said, “You listen to what people say. They will tell you how they are going to treat you, what they are going to do. It’s up to you to believe them and take appropriate action.” I have, in 62 years, seen numerous examples of where this was true.
This is no different than Arabs who act like terrorists in the airport as a lark, and then sue companies for taking appropriate action. It’s the fact that the powers that be enable them that hurts us. If somebody, especially an Arab, says something and a person or company acts on that statement, then the courts should not allow lawsuits.
I agree with the poster above who said this classmate should not talk without a lawyer. In today’s politically correct culture he is setting himself up.

Your mother was a very wise woman.
I don’t remember who the author was, but it is true that, “when someone shows you who they are, believe them”
