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 or expressing schadenfreude about the conservative influencer's assassination earlier this week, according to an analysis by NPR.

And more may be to come:

[citizen]

Only 30?

[Dacula]

Lame body count.

[EnquiringMind]

Boo Hoo, NPR 😥

[albie]

600 is better. I’m positive 600,000 would be more accurate if there’s any justice

[Orosius]

Unfortunately it has become necessary to purge the extreme Left from every corner of American life. This should be only the beginning.

[SunkenCiv]

So, where's the NPR complaint about debanking conservatives, banning President Trump from Twitter, Stalin style show trials complete with suborned perjury, continuing lawfare...

[Mark17]

The latest count is north of 600.

A good start. Maybe they shouldn’t glorify murder. 🤪

[Allegra]

Loving this. We need to see a lot more.

[aklurker]

Maybe this will help some liberals learn that when someone passes that you dislike, it is best for one to be silent if one cannot say something nice and be respectful.

[ComputerGuy]

Not enough of them at NPR, though.

[dragnet2]

Some corrupt murder loving judge is now on deck!

[Bullish]

Well I hope so... But I don’t trust a word that ever comes out of anything from lying ass leftist NPR. So there’s that.

[Dr. Sivana]

I'll believe that matters when it's 300,000.

When you get to 10,000, most of the other 290,000 learn to behave.

[Leaning Right]

I would ask the NPR communists (oops, I meant reporters):

Would would you do if one of your employees publicly celebrated the murder of Martin Luther King?

[E. Pluribus Unum]

They advocate murdering their political opponents, but they aren’t the Nazis.

[mewzilla]

Cancel culture meet accountability culture.

[aklurker]

The hatefulness towards christian values embedded in our educational institutions shines through in this list.

[so_real]

Great! Those who celebrate Kirk's assassination for exercising his freedom of speech should have no issue with losing their jobs as a result of exercising their own freedom of speech.

[SaveFerris]

YES

Pretty stupid thing to lose your job 🥴🥴🥴

Great job Leftists 👍👍👍

[Flavious_Maximus]

What would NPR be saying if people were celebrating the assassination of Martin Luther King?

Damn hypocrites. /spit
