I can understand teenagers with no impulse control posting every ugly thought that pops into their heads onto the internet for all the world to see (which is why my kids had no unsupervised access to the internet when they were teens), but these sick f**ks are adults that should know better. Clearly, they are too stupid to be allowed a job. If I ever employed someone that stupid I would be glad he revealed himself so I could fire his ass.

On a related theme as found in a Toronto paper.... the “State Department will ban any foreigner from entering the country who celebrated the assassination of Charlie Kirk online, Deputy Secretary of State Chris Landau confirms.”

#47 is a major league homosexual rabble rouser for quite some time.

Probably mayor because NO ONE else wants the job. Very conservative area

Employers, especially when favorable public perception of employees is essential to their business, have every right to establish rules of conduct which can include non- work social media posts when the person making them is obviously associated with the business.

In some states employers are often free to fire at will. It does not require a repulsive social media post.

NPR lies. The posts were not just critical of Kirk’s beliefs. The posts were celebrating his murder.

Being nasty, and supporting deviancy and lies, should hurt. It should hurt a lot.

I am not sure where I found this but needed....

I see some people have reservations about getting people fired for celebrating the Assassination of Charlie Kirk. I disagree and this is why:

I don’t want my child be taught by someone who thinks it’s ok to assassinate someone who you disagree with. I don’t want my parents caregivers to think it’s ok to assassinate someone who you disagree with. I don’t want our waitress, nurses, doctors or anyone else we interact with to think it’s better that we were dead because I believe differently politically than them.
