031Violence

posted by Jiggy on May 7th, 2008

For most of us we live with this as something seen on the news or read in a paper. That little bubble around me was suspended last night. I have seen my share of violent things happen at work. Muggings, beatings, and assaults. Customers attack other customers in theaters and out in front more frequently than I would like. It has never happened to one of the people put in my care. I can’t help but feel partly responsible for what happened. I received a call from the theater last night with a frantic message that one of my assistants had been attacked. I rushed to the theater to find him being attended to by medical personnel. Without going into specifics due to a pending police investigation, he was attacked for what seems to be little to no reason. Not robbed or threatened, just beaten. Thankfully he will be ok.
