Oh no, Rich admitted to researching who was makimg threats. He knew who jason was at the expo. He obviously and admittedly watched jason's video prior and it doest take a genius to see in a few seconds that Jason isnt normal. Being in person at the expo, you can easily tell Jason has Autistic characteristics just within a matter of seconds during the conversation.
However, the person in charge of Jason has failed to be a proper conservator and most of the blame is on that person for everything Jason has done. Rich's only fault is allowing his emotions to control him. i am pretty sure with the above mentioned that bad publicity is publicity and that is all he wanted. Im surprised no one involved law enforcement or attornies and or law enforcement has not seen this video and tried to charge both parties for state and federal crimes.
If Rich was so scared that he carried a gun illegally to the gym and on him, he should have had called law enforcement. His slap boxing bullshit was premeditated and he even asked if Jason would "press charges"... guess what maybe Jason doesnt have the mental compaciy to understand the request and implications, therefore Rich is in some deep shit if someone wanted to take his ass to court.
Any ways, just a bad situation and shit happens. I would totally feel like shit if i was in Rich's position. I have lost what little respect I had for the guy, and am sure many clients have and or will be lost over this.
I dont follow or like Jason at all, it is just the fact Rich was so tasteless, reckless and negligent to his image & company. He wanted to be filmed and put on social media as a tough guy and now he looks like an idiot.
