I know this is a late response, but I’m surprised more people just don’t threaten and actually execute the action. Your article mentions this person should have reported it to the ranks and HR etc., however, it’s obvious you lack knowledge of how “Corporate America” works. You can file documented cases and the company always sides with management. I see people terminated that were victims of harrassment, doing their job (when their managers forced them to falsify data -abt) and so on. Unless your a miniority and even then you have little chance for “fair, equal and most of just treatment”, then make you look like the abuser rather than just a victim of circumstances. It will take a postal reaction in companies to just turn the light bulb on.

Death threat is uncalled for in any case of sexual harassment. I think sexual harassment is an issue in the western world. In Africa, men are free to interact with women on sex talks and with men on jovial grounds. However, it becomes a crime when you sing songs with sexual harassment language to a woman in Africa.

I am curious for details of the first story. It all makes sense if the age discrimination was because she was young. A younger person may not know proper reporting procedures, and her supervisor sure would not give her that information. Violence is never the answer. I doubt that was her first response, frustration probably led her to use language he would understand. Her lack of education or maturity let that jerk get away with sexual harrassment. Blame the victom, that always works…

I believe this was taken a little too far with the threats. That is what Human Resourses is for.
