So I was suspended from work

yesterday, and terminated today for a semi heated conversation that happened over two weeks ago.

The conversation was between me and a man I barely know who doesnt work in my office or in my building. All I knew about him was his name, and that he worked in the building across the street from my office with case managers and probation and parole officers. Any time I would see him on the street or in the hallways of my building which is criminal distract court, I would wave and tell him hello like I do with everyone (I usually walk 2 miles during my 45 minute lunch so I see a bunch of people). He would either ignore me completely, or abruptly respond "hey" while never making eye contact.

He comes in my office a little over two weeks ago and decides to hold a meeting in my office which includes a lab where I work, and a front desk area by what we call intake. The meeting had to do with something they were doing new with an existing program on the computers in the intake area. I am a lab tech and work in the back part of the office which is the lab (I dont know how much he knows about me or what I do in the lab.).

When I proceeded to tell this to the man so I could continue running samples in the lab so I wouldnt get backed up or behind, he became infuriated. It was honestly kind of funny at the time. He was sporting the famous rage face while trying to intimidate and threaten me by saying, "You dont know who I am, "You dont want to mess with me!". I then ask him why is he talking to me like this, and why is he treating me this way?

He starts scoffing and making weird noises and weird body motions with his shoulders and arms while leaning back in a funny way as if how could I dare ask him a question like that. He then says" You dont want to do this!", "You dont want to do this!". I respond by asking him, do what and what is wrong with you? I then look at my supervisor who is standing to the right of me, and ask him what is going on? He responds by saying just look at what he wants to show you and let it go. Since my supervisor says so, I do participate in the meeting with no further contact with the man while the samples that needed to be run sat, and new ones piled up.

I am out of a job now because of this asshat! WTF!

What do you guys think? Is this crazy, or am I crazy?
