Cry-Baby #1: Erik Schock

The incident: A guy got fired from his job as a teacher because he turned up to work drunk.

The appropriate response: Accepting it.

The actual response: The teacher is suing the school.

Back in February, Erik Schock was working as a physical education teacher at Chinook Middle School in Bellevue, WA. Halfway through the school day, the assistant principal noticed that Erik smelled of alcohol, his eyes were bloodshot and his speech was slow.

He was removed from the school and given a blood alcohol test. The test, at 2PM, found that his blood alcohol level was .05. Given that Erik had started work at 7:30AM, an expert worked out that he would have blown a .15 hours earlier, twice as much as you can legally drive with, leading toxicology experts to predict that he would have been "suuuuuuper wasted" when he arrived at school that morning.

There was a hearing about it, during which Erik did not dispute that he'd been legally drunk while at work, and, unsurprisingly, he was fired.

Following that, there was an administrative review into the case, which upheld the firing. Terry Lukens, the guy who did the review, noted that, not only did Erik put his students in danger, he was also acting as a poor role model, "It is highly likely that students observed his high level of intoxication, slurred speech and watery eyes.” Which was a pretty unnecessary thing for him to explain, because nobody on earth would argue that Erik deserved to keep his job.

Except Erik, that is.

Earlier this month, he filed a lawsuit against Bellevue School District, saying they were wrong to fire him. He is claiming that him being drunk at work does not fall under the definition of "flagrant misconduct" as defined by state law.

Which I'm sure is probably some issue with wording that is technically right. But come on, man. Would you even want to go back to that job now?

The case is currently with the Superior Court. The school district has not yet responded.

Cry-Baby #2: John Baldwin

[The Smoking Gun](http://www.thesmokinggun.com/documents/jehovahs-witnesses-shot-at-867543 ) via Reddit

The incident: Some Jehovah's Witnesses knocked on a guy's door.

The appropriate response: Keeping perfectly still and hoping they don't realise you're home. Or telling them to go away if you have a spine (which I do not.)

The actual response: The homeowner shot at the Jehovah's Witnesses.

Last Saturday, a group of three Jehovah's Witnesses knocked on the door of John Baldwin in Centerton, AR.

At first John chatted politely with them. But when he realised they were Jehovah's Witnesses, and not just some other type of random caller wanting to chat about God, he got angry.

According to police, he started shouting at them, telling them, "Get your asses off my property. I moved out here to get away from people like you."

The Jehovah's Witnesses apologised for disturbing him, and started to leave. But as they were walking away, they heard John say "get me my nine."

They hurried to their car, and, as they were pulling away, John ran out into the street and started shooting at them with a Springfield XDM-9.

In addition to hating Jehovah's Witnesses, John is also a really poor shot, as none of the 19 bullets he fired hit anyone.

Police came and arrested him for felony aggravated assault. According to the officer who arrested him, he was "very calm" and "seemed very apologetic." He also claimed that he wasn't trying to hit them, and had just fired at them to make them get off his property (which sounds like the kind of thing I would say if I was a really bad shot.)

Which of these guys is the bigger cry-baby? Let us know in this interactive poll down here:
