Remember this guy....

Quote: An ex-CFO and Chick-fil-A protestor who lost his job after posting a video rant against one of the chain’s employees has since lost his home and lives on food stamps.

Adam Mark Smith, 37, who worked for an Arizona-based medical device manufacturer, was shamed after the 2012 YouTube video was posted showing him berating employee Rachel Elizabeth.

The video which expressed his disdain over the firm’s anti-gay marriage stance went viral, and left him unemployed and forced to lose his home.

Nearly three years later, the married father of four is still searching for a job and his family previously had to give away possessions before he was hired and fired again, according to ABC.

At the time he was working as CFO for Vante, Smith was earning $200,000 annually and had more than $1million in stock options, but he said it was all taken from him when he was fired.

His 2012 firing was reported on the same day as the counter-protest against Chick-fil-A’s Appreciation Day as thousands of gay couples flocked to restaurants to kiss during the summer of 2012.

Things were looking rough for Smith and his wife, Amy, along with their four sons after they lost their home and moved into an RV.

But there was silver lining for him and the chance for a new start when he was offered a new job as a CFO in Portland a few months later.

‘I felt like, “yeah, I got it. I am back”,’ he said.

However, nearly two weeks later, he was fired once again after his boss realized he was the man from the video.

As the incident continues to haunt him, he said he does not regret the stand he took but he regrets the way he spoke to Elizabeth.

While Smith is unsure if the incident will ever go away, he has turned to meditation, and has written a memoir, A Million Dollar Cup of Water: Discovering the Wealth in Authenticity.

Here was his cute little attack on the Chik Fil A employee. I hope he thinks it was worth ruining his family's life.

Karma means action, work or deed;[1] it also refers to the principle of causality where intent and actions of an individual influence the future of that individual.[2] Good intent and good deed contribute to good karma and future happiness, while bad intent and bad deed contribute to bad karma and future suffering.[3][4] Karma is closely associated with the idea of rebirth in some schools of Asian religions.[5] In these schools, karma in the present affects one's future in the current life, as well as the nature and quality of future lives - or, one's saṃsāra.[6]

All you liberals take note. This is how you play the game. Look at what this moonbat accomplished in less than two minutes.

1. Demanded free stuff
2. Falsely accused someone of hate
3. Performed a personal attack on an innocent person
4. Put his family of six on government assistance

However, I am going to deduct 3 moonbat points for not playing the race card.

Nothing anybody says should ruin their lives.

I put this in the same boat with the SAEs at OU etc. People say and do crappy things but that doesn't mean their lives should be torn apart.

Sometimes free speech has consequences. Did you watch the video? The guy went up to the window and provoked the confrontation. Since it was his own video, I assume he was the one who posted it on the net. He was trying to make a scene. Yeah it was stupid, but he is fully responsible for what he did.

He told the girl that he couldn't understand how she could work for such a hateful corporation. Well it turns out that his employer doesn't want employees who don't use common sense. Maybe it suck$ for him but that's life in this new world.

All of the hate is on the left.

Actually, it's more than hate; it's rage.

You hit one great point. This act wasn't recorded and put on the net by a witness to it. This guy did the video himself and posted it on the net himself. For a CFO that makes $200,000 a year, that act is beyond stupid. It just proves he has a narcissistic personality disorder. He is not qualified to hold a position like that . No employer is going to hire a person that reckless. He brought it on himself. I have sympathy for his poor family, but zero for him. You reap what you sow.

I'm not comfortable wrecking a guy's life over one distasteful but otherwise harmless moment, either, but damn. What about this whole incident screams "good judgement"?

I'd be more inclined to forgive the OU idiots than this 37 year old husband and father.

Nothing anyone says should ruin their life. Right. I know several men who lost careers in the 80's for telling off-color jokes to women in the office.

there is having an opinion. There is saying something you shouldn't. Then there was this guy, who video taped a verbal attack on an innocent woman's character and then posted it online for the world to see. Notice that, although he was against Chik fil a, he attacked this woman.

And this guys life isn't ruined. He can go out and get plenty of jobs. But an executive position will be hard to come by when the last time you held a senior position, you represented the company by attacking a woman, the posting it on YouTube.. t will be a challenge to get a company to take a chance on him after embarrassing the sh"t out of his last employer in a very viral way. Maybe he just isn't cut out for senior management. There's plenty of other jobs he could do. Just because you don't earn 200k per year doesn't mean your life is ruined.

Actions have consequences...period.

Well then, you hire him.

Bingo. The man has 4 kids, some could only dream of having at least 1 kid. Life ruined? Nahh... just a change of career, that's all.

Also, when you've got it this good, why would even care about something as petty as this, film it and then post it? What did he think would come from this?

Video about the same guy and others who have made social media blunders.

The internet is a brutal friend.

No doubt.

Guy shouldn't have been such a douchebag.
