And more may be to come:

They only have themselves to blame for their choices.

Real, not fake, reputational risk.
Celebrating an assassination is very close to encouraging an assassination.

Highly recommend if you are on Facebook then follow Ryan Fournier, Terrence Williams and Scott Pressler- they are very active exposing the perps and you can help...

Hopefully! And I’ll bet way more than 30 have been fired. I know if I had an employee who condoned the death of Charlie Kirk. I’d fire him and not say a word outside of my business.

I can’t say anything. I retired and got fired from it.

Over thirty people across the country have been fired, put on leave, investigated or faced calls to resign because of social media posts criticizing Charlie Kirk I'll believe that matters when it's 300,000.

There is no bigger red flag than celebrating an assassination, especially after the CEO got whacked.

NPR has compiled a list from news reports of 33 people who have lost their jobs or are under investigations over their posts as of Friday. Most were public school teachers, with at least 21 educators in school districts across the country fired, put on administrative leave or placed under investigation by their employers... "Most were public school teachers..."
Who knew better, of course.
None were "victims" btw, they were "volunteers" to be fired, put on leave and etc.

Over thirty people across the country have been fired, put on leave, investigated or faced calls to resign I hope this is very understated given the level of hate and dishonesty I've seen. This statement could mean 1 person has been fired, 1 person put on leave temporarily, 28 people "investigated" (with no action taken) or faced calls and shrugged them off. I hope there is much more than that going on.

Only 30?
30,000 would be a good start.

I don't want terrorists working for any company I do business with. It's that simple.
Democrats are the other religion of peace.
