CHICAGO, IL — In what has been described as a disturbing "canceling" trend sweeping across social media, a local leftist was fired from her job simply for having a different opinion on whether conservatives should be murdered.
Charity Sparks, an account manager for a marketing company, lost her job over the weekend after she was outed online for a TikTok video in which she performed a celebratory dance and laughed uncontrollably to celebrate the killing of Charlie Kirk and express her deeply held belief that all conservatives should be murdered.
"They're so closed-minded about me wanting them all dead," Sparks lamented in a subsequent post about her firing. "All I did was say that it's great that someone was assassinated for saying things I didn't like and that everyone like him should also be murdered. That's all. Is that so bad? What happened to free speech?"
Reaction to Sparks's firing showed strong support for her right to wish violent death upon people who disagree with her. "How dare they take issue with us wanting them dead?" asked one user in a reply to her post. "I thought this was supposed to be a free country, but they just want to lash out and mistreat people who are vocally calling for them and their entire families to be brutally murdered. It's messed up."
At publishing time, Sparks had migrated her online presence over to Bluesky, where people from all walks of life were free to wish pain, suffering, and death upon anyone they didn't like.

As a conservative I certainly don’t want this creep working next to me.
A pragmatic limitation on liberty occurs when the right to swing one’s fist ends where the other man’s nose begins.
Liberty is a grand concept, but it must be used judiciously, otherwise it can turn into a brawl or worse.
It’s called moral turpitude. Once upon a time employers required that as a minimum of current and future employees. Employers and managers would like to know they have good, decent and honest people working for and or representing them. Glorifying or celebrating the murder of ANYONE shows a complete lack of moral turpitude and human decency.
One of the many differences between the right and the left around the world . . .
Closer to truth than it should be.
STILL CANNOT YELL FIRE IN A MOVIE THEATER
SHE IS BEYOND DENSE
Why are the leftists decrying the cancellation of people engaging in hate speech? The left is perfectly fine with canceling conservatives for what the left considers hate speech. Expressing satisfaction with someone being assassinated is hate speech in my book.
