Ontario police have identified the suspect as Chamel Abdulkarim, a 29-year-old resident of Highland. While initially believed to be a Kimberly-Clark staffer, officials clarified he is an employee of NFI Industries, a third-party distribution partner. Video posted to social media allegedly shows Abdulkarim lighting paper goods in fire. “All you had to do what pay us enough to f*cking live,” he said. According to The New York Post, authorities are investigating the video. “A fellow local just shared this footage with us — it was reportedly passed along by a Kimberly-Clark/NFI warehouse employee who received it from someone on site,” the social media account said in a caption.

ReplyDeletePolice initially thought he was a Kimberly-Clark employee, but he actually worked for NFI Industries, a third-party distributor for them.
Bro, all you had to do was find a better job if you felt you weren’t “paid enough to live.”
Now you’ll be carrying soap on a rope for the next several years.
