My thought: Sure, the comments are despicable, but they are also protected by our 1st Amendment. (The line of course is inciting more violence.)
But we won’t be happy when the left is back in power and turns mass firings around on conservatives who express views unpopular with the powers that be.
Celebrating murder is not free speech
It is Incitement to violence, which is illegal in virtually every jurisdiction.

People forget that the Bill of Rights apply to the government on private citizens. Yes, you are free to speak your mind but your words are not free from consequences from fellow citizens in the private arena. This is what the Left is now having to come to grips with.
The Left has been firing, excluding, and vilifying White men , conservatives, and Christians for years. To Hell with them.
We had that happening during floyd and covid.
“ But we won’t be happy when the left is back in power and turns mass firings around on conservatives who express views unpopular with the powers that be.”
Hey Scooter! That happened back in the Covid days.
Pay attention.

There’s a reason for this. These fields have very few conservatives working in them, and they’re also areas of work where failure has no real consequences.
“My thought: Sure, the comments are despicable, but they are also protected by our 1st Amendment.”
The 1st Amendment prevents the government from scantioning free speech and it describes what it includes. What private companies do is another thing. I suggest you go to work and openly critize your boss. You will be fired before the day’s end.
Inside of government, there is no free speech. You try it and you will get fired quickly.
“But we won’t be happy when the left is back in power and turns mass firings around on conservatives who express views unpopular with the powers that be.”
Isn’t that what they’ve been doing for the last couple of decades, and we’ve simply knuckled under and took it?
About time we gave them a taste of their own medicine!

/. So...is the solution to cower in fear over that the left will do what the left already does to us ?
And do nothing ?
If they get back in power, we'll all end up at a re-education camp.
