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

I hope the tattle tail that turned the woman in (whether I agree or not with her comments), finds themselves in the same position. I wouldn’t post my thoughts on Facebook not with this umbrella of a police state over our own thoughts that we see now.

It’s only against the law if the building INS’T actually on fire...

You do not have a Right to free speech that causes harm to others or their property...

You know, like looting during a riot and calling it a protest. For that, you deserve a bullet...

True story.

I had a relative threaten to report me to my boss because she said I was posting racist remarks about Obama. Nothing racist was posted. But what’s funny is I retired several years earlier. That shows you how much she actually knows about me.

Getting really frigging tired of that.

“They get away with it because they are Democrats!”

Screw that. Past due time to make such bs bear a personal cost.

She’s also using her freedom of speech to advocate taking away the freedom of others to peacefully assemble. Doesn’t anyone see that conundrum?

Memorial Hermann Hospital is part of the University of Texas System and therefore she is a government employee.

This is an example of the government regulating speech.

Hunt them down. Hurt them.

This isn’t a game. There are no rules any more.

I wish I were kidding.

“Political Correctness” is a first amendment workaround. Nobody was arrested by the government, but free speech was chilled, nonetheless.

What part of peaceful assembly includes raiding WalMart for Nike’s and big screen TV’s?

I would have fired Mayor Daley also, for that and other reasons. But there does come a point where you have to shoot back, clearly.

I’d say it was the only good thing Daley ever did.

Not now. Now it is according to who says what. Democrats and their ilk can say what they please. Others, not so much. White males, Christians, and Conservatives, not at all. All forms of speech by them are forbidden.

That wasn’t the protesters, it was rioters & looters. Two different groups. The protesters have rights that are protected by the Constitution, whereas the rioters & looters do not. The lady who got fired didn’t specify which group she would prefer to see “mowed down” so she was advocating violence against peaceful protesters.

This thread has made me disgusted at the general lack of understanding of the Constitution and Bill of Rights. You have rights as citizens, but you also have responsibilities. This lady shot off her mouth in a public forum, and is facing the consequences from her employer. Live with it.
