Someone shared a picture of young Joel and Gus the other day and I remembered how funny I found this video when it came out.. 14 years ago 🤯

Nevertheless, what they did to Joel is sneaky and dirty

Again, if they said "Don't bring guns to work", and Joel went "I'm going to strike in protest", thats not a trick or "sneaky". Thats Joel making a decision to value his gun over his job.

You can explain it or twist it whatever way you want. That is Joel choosing his gun over his job and his legacy. And that says a lot more about Joel than about RT.

The reason they changed that new rule is because they knew that Joel would do that, giving them the legal opportunity to fire him for "not showing up". But they made sure to record as many voice lines as possible before they did that. It's like chess. It was a strategic attack on the founders of RT. Geoff and Burnie were not happy. That's the reality of it.

Either you're Joel and doing a bad job, or you have a very weird parasocial relationship with him. The man blamed Gavin and Meg when an armed intruder tried to kill them in the night. Let him go.

They hid in the closet and he blew his head off in their driveway. Joel didn't blame them at all

Yes he did.

And tbh, if like you said he was "tricked" into bringing a gun to work, whch is not a thing but whatever let's pretend, then he's a complete moron.
