Because he would be *fired* on the spot, and we wanted him immediately
escorted from the premises. Barricading himself in would mean that the Police would
be needed, as it becomes a "desperate" situation with a "disgruntled employee"
who may be capable of anything, including sabotage & destruction of station
property.
I'd consider it an emergency in this sense: a disgruntled former employee in
an unpredictable and unstable state-of-mind has commandeered a radio station,
and refuses to leave. I think the Police/911 call would be very much justified.
Now, if it was just a stunt, then that's a whole different ball-o-wax, as
management would be "in" on it. I'm talking about a situation where someone did
something like this, and refused to leave- literally barricading themsef into
the CR and "taking over" the station.
