WINONA, Minn. – A guy, angry at being fired from his job, walked into a West Side bar and spotted an ex-coworker who he believed got him fired. The guy walked up behind the coworker, slapped him hard on the back, and said: “This is the softest thing you’re going to feel.” It was a threat, at least as the man pereceived it. The man told police that his assailant believed he had been fired because of lies about him to a boss. The other guy was gone when police arrived. They began looking for him to hear his side. This was about 10:05 a.m. at the Cornerstone Bar at 501West Fourth Street.
