The guy grabbed him by the back of the neck and threw him out. He stumbled on to a table on the sidewalk and a passing cop saw him and thought he was disorderly. While they were arresting him he told the cop he had to take a piss so the cop walked him into an alley where he whipped out his shlong and pissed on the cop's foot.
He was overly sensitive to light and sound...to the extent that he walked around with noise suppressors on his head and when he had to use the computer ( which was part of his job) he cut up a cardboard box which he fastened to the monitor so that he could look at the screen through an eye slit which he cut. Needless to say, other employees objected!
He once demanded that the aerobic instructor in the fitness center turn off "that nigger music" that was playing on a boom box. ( That's the first time I got stuck representing this asshole.)
There was a military base nearby and he used his federal I.D. to see movies for free. That was legal. What the Marines objected to was when they played the National Anthem and his response was to stand up and shout "Hiel Hitler." They threw him out, too. ( He had a few bruises after that one.) He then proceeded to write a letter of complaint to the Marine base commander about his treatment.
Get the picture?
Yes I do,
Some of the issues the guy had are typical of those for people with Autistic Spectrum Disorders to varying degrees. Although this guy had huge problems with figuring out what is appropriate or not appropriate social behaviour. I wonder if he was at least recommended to see a behavioural psychologist.
