A printing company in Maryland saw the photo on Twitter Wednesday night: an employee roaming the halls of the U.S. Capitol with a company badge around his neck. He was fired the next day.
Others are facing similar repercussions at work for their participation in Wednesday’s riot at the U.S. Capitol. Some business owners are being trashed on social media and their establishments boycotted, while rank-and-file employees at other businesses have been fired.
The printing company, Navistar Direct Marketing, declined to name the worker but said it can’t offer employment to people “demonstrating dangerous conduct that endangers the health and safety of others.”
People on social media have been trying to identify rioters photographed or filmed at the Capitol Wednesday, pressuring companies that employ them to fire them.
At a data analytics firm in suburban Chicago, the employee in question was the top boss. Cogensia fired CEO Bradley Rukstales Friday night for his participation in the riot.
“This decision was made because Rukstales’ actions were inconsistent with the core values of Cogensia,” said acting CEO Joel Schiltz. “Cogensia condemns what occurred at the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday.
A Cleveland school occupational therapist resigned from the district after her alleged involvement in the riot. A spokeswoman for a fire department near Orlando, Florida said one of its firefighters was being investigated for his participation. Sanford Fire Department firefighter Andy Williams has been placed on paid administrative leave pending the outcome, said spokeswoman Bianca Gillett.
Small businesses are also facing backlash on online review sites such as Yelp, which flagged at least 20 businesses for unusual review activity related to Wednesday’s rioting.

My suggestion for round 2: obey our glorious leaders and wear masks !
One thing the Dems know is how to crack down on dissent. They have already arrested more people for offenses in the Trump march than they did in a summer of rioting and public monument desecration.
And start a list of names of companies and managers who fire people execising free speech. It might be useful later.
They cant stop the movement. There’s also service businesses can use to wipe those bad reviews off Yelp.
America’s version of the Red Guards will be coming around and rounding up those deemed “dirty”. Expect genocide.
Oh yeah the communists our good at that they always have been,look at the last couple centuries of the dead , the imprisoned, and the destruction they cause.
Are***
Frees them up for when it goes hot.
I agree. I hope the media keep on reporting these businesses who are acting like brown shirts. The media thinks it’s being cute, but as soon as we get the names we know who to avoid who to contact and tell them that we don’t want do business with them anymore.
Yup nothing making people who are already angry and by pissing them off even more by attacking their jobs and firing them and making them unemployed. Now they have nothing to lose.
The Marxists sure knew how to create a powder keg don’t they?
And they don't care because, up until now, conservatives have bent over and taken it.
The time is coming, quickly, when they won't bend over anymore and will fight back.
Companies comply with the left because they feel no pressure from the right. That needs to change. We need to stop being polite while under attack.
Welcome to the club. Been there, done that. Just remember that blacklisting is not universal. Move on, get another job and get back in the action. You might even find an employer who is on your side. Tighten your belt, and learn to save.
......unless they are Democrat infiltrators.
That is IMPOSSIBLE because demonratcommieblmantifaterroscumchildmolestinggoatrapers DO NOT WORK !!!
The is here...it already started
Of the 75 million or so that voted for Trump my guess is a good majority were turned off by what happened.
Quit trying to justify what occurred
Not a grave mistake at all, in fact it should have been occupied and held till more Citizens would get moved in and taken over..BTW it belongs to the People!
Biden calls Trump supporters ‘domestic terrorists’
I have been on this website for many years. I was a Trump supporter. When are those on Free Republic going to realize that the storming of the capital building was a grave mistake.

Very good point. That’s why they’re so successful in their criminal management of the vote, their intimidation of the judiciary, etc. They’re great at suppression of dissent because they have a party discipline that Stalin or Hitler would admire.
Once the official position is generated by their Poliburo, they enforce total conformity within the party. They have years of experience in cracking down on dissidents within their own party, and now they’re using this against the whole country. The only real crime is thought crime.
