From USA Today:
A man caught on video verbally berating a security guard and yelling racial slurs outside a Social Security office in an Atlanta suburb has been arrested, police say. …
Robert Burke, 65, was identified as the man at the center of a viral video showing him being escorted from the Social Security office as he threatened to physically harm the security guard. …
Burke is heard telling the security guard to "take a shot (expletive)" and saying he would "beat the (expletive)" out of him.
"I'm a (expletive) citizen," Burke continues, and then he refers to the security guard, who is Black, using a racial slur repeatedly.
As he walks into the parking lot, he yells back to the guard "What are you going to do, it's free speech" before continuing to use expletives and slurs. …
While this may have been the most explosive encounter, employees of the Social Security office told police Burke had been a problem before and had caused previous disturbances at that location. …

Are you sure it wasn’t Stephen Miller?
Economic anxiety and longer wait times makes for a volatile situation in an understaffed SSA workforce.
Not a huge deal at all. Let him reasonably blow off some steam; have you seen how long the wait times are these days? Then the guard should ask him how we can help him and if his problem was solved. His anger would turn into gratitude.
I‘ll say what we’re all thinking: pretty obvious which candidate this guy voted for in the last presidential election.
"Robert Burke, 65..."
I bet he missed his IEP.
SSA employees get incoming from management and the public. It is very satisfying job since one is helping the public but it comes at a high cost. One’s health deteriorates and the question is asked if the job is worth it.
A normal day in most field offices.
In other news, dog bites man.
