Woman fired for this Facebook post about Ferguson
HLNTV ^ | 8/22/14 | Jonathan Anker

A woman is out of a job today because of a violent Facebook post she made about the unrest in Ferguson, Missouri.

"The police need to just start mowing them down with machine guns, purge them," she wrote, apparently in reference to the people protesting the shooting death of Michael Brown.

But she does have freedom of speech on the Facebook

Her tone and her message is objectionable as the indiscriminate killing of protesters by the police would be viewed as wrong and the police who took such action might be prosecuted.

But she has freedom of speech.

Could have used a better choice of words.

So posting that on facebook is wrong, yet a Democrat in Missouri went on Megyn Kelly’s show last night and said that if Wilson isn’t prosecuted that the riots we have seen til now will look like a picnic, well isn’t that a threat?

I doubt it.

Well, far be it from me to defend indiscriminate killing.

But I will state my opinion that if massive civil war were to breakout all over the US, the winning side is most likely to be the one which indiscriminately kills children, women, old people, and the occasional healthy male. The losing side is likely to be the side which attempts to avoid collateral damage, carefully singling out only the uniformed, armed enemy combatants who are actively engaged in war-like actions.

“CNN affiliate KHOU reports that a man brought the offending post to the attention of the unnamed woman’s employer, Houston’s Memorial Hermann Southeast Hospital, after finding it “very racist.”

I don’t see it as racist. I imagine a lot of white people would have the same feelings if they saw hundreds of hate filled whites rioting and looting over a false issue.

Freedom of speech does not mean freedom from repercussions. I’d fire her to for being stupid.

It's against to falsely yell FIRE in a building.
We don't have COMPLETE freedom of speech. Only babies and crazy people have that.

I had those feelings when the Nazis chose Skokie for their march.

You remember girls and boys, don’t write down your personal

thoughts, you hear. Government is watching, you, troublemakers.

( It’s odd she writes, wham, she’s out of work-that fast!)

It’s not so much the government, it’s your boss.

Reason number 1,001 I will never have anything to do with Facebook. People like myself who value privacy are a dying breed.

Facebook exists so people will have a place to do something stupid.
