Sure. No one asks you to stay in the bullet trajectory from the gun which was claimed to be Luigi’s.

For what it’s worth:

The investigation found no evidence that Impact Plastics employees were told they could not leave the factory or that they would be fired if they left, according to a news release from the district attorney. It also found employees had a little more than an hour during which they could have evacuated from the Erwin, Tennessee, industrial park. The conclusion mirrors that of a similar investigation by the Tennessee Occupational Safety and Health Administration that found in April that workers had time to evacuate the premises, albeit by makeshift routes.

It is hard to find evidence of verbal threats when you ignore the claims made by the people being verbally threatened.

Or the people who were verbally threatened drowned.

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 15 points 3 weeks ago

Some of them drowned, some of them lived to tell the tale. That is why we have reports that they were threatened.

What I’m hearing is, “You’ll have time to leave, IF you can survive the rickety bridge”

What I’m hearing is, the next time this happens be sure you record the audio/video on your phone.

[–] danc4498@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Sure, but that’s not criminal. Maybe negligent. Maybe not too.

How much Trump coin are they holding? Asking just in case I build a factory and hold people over in the face of death.
