    The guy that made the gassing comments was Peter Giunta, who used to work for NYS Assemblymember Reilly. He was terminated the day the story broke in Politico. Processing his termination paperwork was the highlight of my workday.

      He’s from fucking Staten Island. I swear to God, if some foreign nation or even terrorist organization dropped a nuke in the middle of Staten Island, I’d donate to their kickstarter.

      And if you’re from Staten Island I apologize for the collateral damage, but holy shit the place is a cesspool. Absolutely some of the most garbage people in the country are from Staten Island.

        When the story broke in Politico, I was thinking, “This guy is going to get fired.” I checked our database this morning he was terminated internally. I asked my boss to please give me the paperwork, so I could officially terminate him in the state database. She was like, “Why are you so excited to do this?” Then I showed her the article.
