OK, I found out about this crap when I was reading Little Gamers. Apparently the author of the webcomic was talking about purchasing a .22 rifle at work to go target shooting. Co-workers overheard him and told supervisors that they didn't feel comfortable around him. So they called him in the office and fired him. FOR TALKING ABOUT A GUN!!! Talk about a load of crap. Then when he puts a webcomic up about the whole incedent, the police show up and say that that is a "borderline terroristic threat". OMFG....what is happening in this country.
Here's a recap on the story and the artist's (victim's) website.

I have never been so disgusted to be an American.

Update: An interview with the victim can be found here.
Welcome to overcompensation from the understandably frightening feelings stemming from the VA Tech Shootings.
