Alberto Gutierrez and Frontline Safety NY LLC. have been key to the restoration of VFW Post 3427. Not only did they provide the Site Saftey Plan and OSHA training, he was also a mentor to our trainees; and one thing I’ve heard Alberto speak about many times, is being able to control your emotions when you feel disrespected (https://youtu.be/eVvvsTtM85E). Last night the entire world witnessed one black man commit an act of violence against another one over a stupid joke; and with that lapse of judgment he not only damaged his reputation, he continued the stereotype that people of color or those from low income backgrounds are prone to violence. I grew up in a world where chaos could erupt at any moment; one in which people were viciously attacked for a single glance or word. I have spent 18 years trying to help people escape that world, and what happened last night has made my job just a little bit harder.
