Terrible situation. One bad apple can spoil the bunch. Maybe your boss will see that.

Call the cops to get an official record about it, and I'm sure that will capture the Boss' attention. Not sure who to call, but harassment like that is against Federal and state laws. There should be a sign posted in a conspicuous place near the time clock, or some kind of employee notice board, also Federal law, that details your rights. Read it. I expect Ok has some kind of State Employment office that will have a human rights dept. you can contact. Sounds like your Boss doesn't want to be bothered by all this, make enough noise and force him into action. You can sue him, and I'm sure he's aware if it, for not taking care of this. Good luck, You don't have to put up with this crap!

The secret to winning any violent conflict is to be first, with the most. You left it go to far. Actions speak louder than words. When he opened his mouth you should have shut it for him Very bad idea! You need to take the high road and stay legal as long as you can.

I feel bad for you. Not a good spot to be in. I’d be watching my 6 and packing heat. This day and age guys like you described scare me. I would definitely have another sit down with the boss.

I'm not sure I would want to work for an employer that found any value in someone that acted that way in the workplace. A personal attack on a fellow employee would not have had an opportunity to happen a 2nd time. Not much of an example for other employees to follow, imo.

Just leave....plenty of jobs around...the Boss will call you back and then you can name your price. If not ..your not in a toxic environment anymore.

A year down the road you will be glad it happened. The boss will make his choice then u can make yours. Legal action will just be a headache and waste of time.

Knowing what you know and feeling the fear you felt, it could have already been over with by now. Eminent danger does not have to be communicated physically to justify a response.
Sounds like you are about to change jobs.

It started because I was in our only employee bathroom answering the call of nature and he got something in his eye from not wearing safety glasses and needed the eye wash which is in the first aid kit in the bathroom. But instead of knocking on the door amd explaining the situation he decided to go off the handle and throw a fit. So when he saw me walk from the break room (where our bathroom is) back into my shop he started hurling obscenities, and threats at me for being in the bathroom. It started with "stay out of the GD bathroom you fat SOB!" and that was the point at which I told him to shut his bleeping mouth. This is the most legitimate reason he has ever had for cussing me. The first time was because I came into his shop and fixed an iron worker that the boss didn't want anybody but me fixing because I'm experienced in that area. Second time was because I told the boss about something he did that got him a talking to and the third time was when he came to my pickup and yelled at me for being 10 minutes over on my afternoon break even though I had worked 20 minutes into my break to finish what I was doing. All three of these incidents were reported to the boss but there was never anything formal put on record. Just got him a "talking to." The third time was when I told the boss I would not stand down from him again.

Yup, its new job day. The boss will call you back but you have some sort of skills to be foreman so take them else where TODAY. Why spend money to hire a lawyer just prove a point? You said you like the owner so why sue him. Just leave. If he values you like you seem to think he does he will be calling as soon as you are late tomorrow. If he doesn't you will have a new job quick and not be threatened by a mma journeyman who clearly has a loose nut or two upstairs. Do you have a family? If so what will they do if you get hurt real bad? Sure you will be entitled to a nice settlement but then the business you don't want to ruin will be ruined anyhow and you won't see a penny till your bills are past due and house is in foreclosure. What then?
Life sure is tough when you don't learn from the mistakes of others.

I want to hear coonman's take, lol.
Seriously though, I would leave. No job is worth all that nonsense. Especially now when everyone is begging for help. Go find a new job tomorrow that pays even better and be done with it.

You have basically two choices-leave or knock the guys teeth out with the crowbar.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.
