I was fired from my legal-marijuana job for telling another coworker to not make a mess 10 minutes before he clocks out, so he went and literally cried in the break room. I was let go, being told that I was "not compatible" with the team. As they walked me out of my full-time job, I pointed to the coworker who cried and tattled on me, and said "You're a goober, go fuck yourself."
One week after being fired, I called the manager and asked if I could come pick up my last check. She told me to find the security guard out front, and tell him to walkie-talkie upstairs for my check to be brought down.
One of the other security guards came down and asked if I was NAME HERE. I said yes, and he immediately pushed me back into a corner, and began yelling "YOU ARE 86'ed FROM THIS PROPERTY! DO YOU UNDERSTAND!? YOU ARE TRESPASSING! YOU ARE NOT ALOUD HERE! YOU ARE 86'ed! YOU CANNOT BE TRESPASSING." (mind you, this was outside, in the parking lot, where the manager had TOLD me to go.)
I told him to get off of me (he was pointing his finger less than an inch from my face) and just give me my check so I can leave. He told me no, and that "YOU ARE GOING TO LISTEN TO ME!"
I told him "I don't have to listen to shit, just give me my check so I can leave."
Just then, a very large black security guard RAN up to the other side of me, and began yelling and spitting in my face like a drill sergeant, "YOU'RE GONNA LISTEN TO HIM! YOU'RE NOT IN CHARGE HERE. WE ARE!" and poked my eyeball with his big finger.
I flinched and immediately yelled "DON'T FUCKIN TOUCH ME DUDE." To which the guards only responded with even more yelling and cornering me even deeper, to where I couldn't see anything but security-guard-face.
I grabbed my check and pushed my way out, and walked off the parking lot, with a "You guys are fuckin dicks."
This pissed them off even more, and began running after me, until I was off the property line.
Can I sue?

Do you have any evidence/proof that the events you described took place? Did you get the guards' names?

This sounds like a story written by the exact kind of person who would post the image you did.
Do you have several thousand dollars to sue this company? There's your answer.

Are you in Canada, OP?
Can you tell me about when it'll be legal? is it a sure thing?

I wonder how many threads aren't just bullshit stories made up by anons.

No.
You have no wrongful dismissal claim against the employer. They can fire whoever they want for whatever they want, as long as it doesn't break discrimination laws.
And the general tone of your post suggests that you were a bit more of a dickhead than you imply, and didn't fit in with their mellow atmosphere.
You could try a criminal complaint of assault against the individual security guys, but a single one-finger poke doesn't quite make it.
