Should this racist be forgiven for this?



48 y/o James Iannazzo, the racist Merrill Lynch VP who was arrested and fired after branding a smoothie shop worker as a "f***ing immigrant loser" was sobbing uncontrollably claiming he lost hi temper after warning staff that his son was allergic to nuts only for them to prepare the drink with one triggering a severe reaction!!.

He was arrested on charges of intimidation based on bias, breach of peace and criminal trespass when his fit of rage at a Robeks in Connecticut was caught on video when he hurled racist and f-bombs at the teen female employees

He threw the drink at 18 y/o Gianna Miranda who works there part time.

He has been working at Merril Lynch since 1995 and was most recently VP at wealth management who has since been terminated

He lives in a swanky 2.64 million 5 bath colonial style mansion who said he went to the shop at 1pm to pick up a smooth without incident and less than an hour later came back in fury when he was on the call with 911 for his 17 y/o son suffering from a life threatening anaphylactic shock after drinking the smoothie. He said the stress of that medical emergency tipped him over the edge

Robeks haven't said the prepped drink had a nut product but he remains adamant that it triggered it. He tells Dailymail that he made regrettable comments because his son was taken to hospital after collapsing at his home and told the girls not to put peanuts in them.

He said "My son lost the capacity to breathe properly, his lips and face swelled up, and he required an EpiPen shot but it did not offer him relief. I called 911. My son then went ot the bathroom, threw up and fell unconscious to the floor. He threw up again. My wife gave him another EpiPen while i called 911 again. Thank god he is donig okay"

He demanded to know who made the dirnk but the girls didn't know since it happened an hour ago as his tirade was all caught on camera. He said he lost his mind when he went there and wish he had not done so but also wished the girls were more careful preparing the dirnk and extend his apologies

He has now hired a lawyer although has yet to say if he'll sue over the peanut incident but conceded his behaviour went too far as he deeply regrets his actions and do not reflects his character or values and feels terrible.

The girls however said he asked for no peanut butter in the smoothie but never mentioned an allergy

In 2021, Iannazo was ranked the 24th best wealth advisor in Connecticut making him one of the richest in the state. He is now charged with one felony and 2 misdemeanors and if convicted faces 6 years in the big house and a 6000 fine

Should this racist be forgiven?

I don't care if you are being racist or not. No one, not even the president himself, should treat retail workers like that. For any reason. His behavior went too far for certain.

With that said, if the retail workers were told 'no nuts' and put them in carelessly, they deserve an IMMENSE reprimand and potential firing (it put someone's life on the line supposedly). If they either didn't know or there was a mix-up or something similar than the blame should be placed properly. Not on the poor girl who is probably getting minimum wage.

Do I think he should be fired? It depends on if it was intentional/careless or not. I do feel that a racist remark being said when you're emotions are high and raging because your child's life was in danger isn't the same as calling them racist things just for existing. I certainly don't think he should have his life ruined over what was, effectively, defending his son.

I gotta say it's insanely stupid and risky to order a smoothie that has peanut butter in it by default if you have a severe peanut allergy. It's easy enough to make a mistake in food service. Surely you have other safer options.

So they didn't warn about an allergy, so instead of using a separate machine they keep away from peanut butter they used regular equipment on a smoothie that normally has peanut butter in it. So this extremely wealthy man goes to a place where people who don't have mommy and daddy paying everything for them work and decides to assault them because he sees them as less than human.

A guy in this position knows this is a job for a lawyer, going down and chucking drinks at kids loses him any sympathy he might have gotten.

wtf are you talking about? Was beating up some girls going to make his son start breathing again?

My son has a peanut allergy. I'd typically avoid getting something for him from a place like that, but if I were to get him something, I damn sure would mention his allergy and specifically request they use clean equipment and utensils when prepping his smoothie. It's not enough to simply request "no nuts", if that's in fact all this dude did

That said, even if I went through all that - requesting clean equipment etc - and my kid had a reaction, my anger wouldn't turn me into a violent racist. That dude is, at his core, a violent racist.

You don't commit acts of violence and spew racist hatespeech and then turn around and say "this isn't who I am" because you got fucking caught and are seeing the consequences of your behavior. No, motherfucker. That's exactly who you are.

Not saying he's beyond forgiveness or shouldn't be allowed the opportunity to grow and learn from this, but if he is truly going to learn from this, he needs first to accept that he had some deep-seated issues he needs to work through. Own that bullshit, dude. Apologize and say you'll work on becoming a better, more empathetic person.

I worked at a smoothie place when I was in HS, and you're supposed to wash the equipment every time unless 2 of the same drinks are ordered back to back.

That's reassuring, but I still would likely avoid those places. Just too risky for my personal comfort level. We only trust a few ice cream places for the same reason.

There's a bakery near my house that's completely nut-free. Place is always jam-packed. Seems like a lucrative business. There's a nut-free ice cream shop in Boston, but that's like a 30 minute drive on a good day.

See, this is where I disagree. If this was someone acting this way over, say, a bad drink I'd totally be on board. However when a parent has the life of their child threatened for any reason they tend to act very differently and aggressively in the name of their kid. I'm perfectly willing to believe that this guy isn't a racist or, if he is, keeps it suppressed and under control normally, but having the life of his child put in danger by, in his eyes, negligent and stupid immigrant workers (not saying they are at all and, even if they are, this doesn't justify his abusive attitude) pushed him past that line of control and possibly past ones he didn't even know that he HAD.

What he did was wrong. I'm not questioning that at all. Abusing retail workers is never right. I'm just disagreeing with the notion that he should be having his life ruined over it. These are extremely stressful circumstances with a parent who had the life of their kid threatened and he was retaliating against the people he saw as the perpetrators. This does NOT justify his actions (I want to restate that), but the whole 'fire him from his job because he lost his temper and said racist things when his kids life was put in danger' thing seems a BIT harsh and over the top.

I mean, if one of you had a loved ones life put in danger, don't you think you'd not only react in a similar manner (maybe not racism, but some other -ism or something as the situation applied?) but think you were justified, or at least not deserving of losing your job, over it?

Except his kid wasn't threatened, and he was from what I gather partially negligent in making his needs clearly known.

If he didn't communicate that the request was due to an allergy, that's on him.

It's regrettable more care wasn't taken in the preparation on his order, but again this is part of why I avoid these places with my own kid, because if there's a bunch of high schoolers working there I don't fully trust them to be knowledgeable and properly trained and vetted in food safety protocols.

It's not known if they made the drink with nuts in it, or just made the drink on dirty equipment, but in either case if the father didn't mention the allergy that's on him. Those kids working the counter ain't mind readers.

This. All that means is that you're pretending not to be that person on a day-to-day basis. People that aren't violent racists don't assault people and spew racist hate speech. Under any circumstances.

I always have mixed feelings about shit like this. While his behavior was awful, his son almost died due to some asshole's negligence so a certain amount of anger is understandable.

That's at least partly bullshit because pretty much anybody can be pushed to violence under the right circumstances. And while racist remarks may seem different at face value, people trying to get under other peoples' skin will often use anything at their disposal whether or not it conforms to their beliefs. In some cases, this can include slurs against their own group.

Had he not included the word immigrant his actions would have been seen as pure rage and either totally justified or understandable and forgiveable under the circumstances.

he made it not about the drink preparers stupidity but about nationality. It doesnt matter whether it came from anger or not but in todays society that is how it is percieved.

actually if he said no nuts and they put nuts in he should have called the cops to file a report of attempted murder and let them find the culprit.

whether or not a case could be made for that would be irrelevant as then he would have been justified in letting them investigate the incident.

for all we know it was intentional. Many servers like to stick it to you when you tell them something is an issue. They are not supposed to, and most dont but still. It happens. Given the severity of the sons condition a 911 call to demand video footage or work schedules or intimidate the workers into telling the truth would have been a better option.

This is true. I worked at 2 smoothie places for about a year total, and was told about an allergy just once. Both were in very popular malls, so we got a lot of traffic.

Were you told to make something without nuts without specifying it was for an allergy?
