I have a coworker who I am told by his brother (who also works there) has aspberger's syndrome. On my first day of employment, the coworker with AS said to me that his hobbies are stalking people, hunting people, and flirting with girls. Later that night he expressed his hatred of his high school and how he would like it destroyed. I told him that was a dangerous thing to say and he told me that he was harmless because he didn't have the means (weaponry) to pull off such an attack. He said that he had already been checked out by his school administration.
Today, he mentioned casually how he had assaulted a girl because she had humiliated him. At first he said he choked and punched her, but after prodding, he said that he had made her a necklace. After she humiliated him with it, he tried to pull it off her and it ended up choking her, but that he punched her in the past. He showed no remorse and seemed to be bragging about the whole thing. I told him that he was making me uncomfortable and that I would like him to change the subject but he refused. Who do I talk to? the school? his parents? the management? it's only a small family owned pizza joint. I don't think they are capable of dealing with this appropriately. Please help.

That's scary. Families are tough about those things sometimes. They don't want to admit something is terribly wrong. I am honestly not sure what to advise. At best the employer might view this as making work a hostile environment because you told him to stop and he didn't. That would be a start.
School or parents… try with whomever you feel more comfortable with. The school is going to document it and possibly report to the parents. Unless the girl came forward there is not much they can do. It is impossible to know how the parents will react unless you know them. Ideally you'd like to see them do something but a lot don't. . I wish I could offer more. You are in a really tough situation. It is really hard to know what to do. I commend you for asking for help.

If nobody helps appropriately or if he gets scarier you can report it to police. They may call the school and /or parents. I don't think they can do anything else but they take this sort of thing very seriously these days and if he did go further it would help to have some background.

If he's talking to you about things like this, you need to report it to your boss straight away. Even if nothing happens while he's on the clock, he's making you feel unsafe and your boss can't ignore that.

Yes, what TheWolfEmperor said is right -- report this to your supervisor immediately. Maybe he's just making up stories to scare you, but he needs to stop.
