Kirk was assassinated at a campus event in Utah

The Carolina Panthers on Thursday fired an employee who made insensitive social media posts following the assassination of conservative influencer Charlie Kirk. Charlie Rock, a member of the team’s communications department, was the staffer fired, a source briefed on the Panthers’ decision confirmed to Fox News Digital.

sad that Kirk had been shot and killed. The song "Protect Ya Neck" from the Wu-Tang Clan was also share. "The views expressed by our employees are their own and do not represent those of the Carolina Panthers," the team said in a statement posted to social media. "We do not condone violence of any kind. We are taking this matter very seriously and have accordingly addressed it with the individual."

Rock was far from the first person to lose their job for mocking the assassination of Kirk.

People are unbelievably stupid.

I’m glad the garbage takes itself out once in a while, though.

I like the idea of the garbage taking itself out once in a while...rather than someone else taking out the garbage...stealing....never heard the phrase before.

Look at it on the bright side. These scumbags are exposing themselves and finding out what FAFO really means.

They got away with it and no one called them out on it. Until now. So they had no clue on what it's like to be "accountable".

It’s frightening to see how co opted the healthcare and education sectors are by the left. The videos celebrating Charlie’s murder are endless. Invariably women. Just regulars who weren’t even interested in politics a few short years ago.

Is it going to get to the point where white men simply aren’t treated in hospitals? Or worse?

I hope it doesn’t come down to that.

Me too. Though I seem to have a talent for realizing things that will come to pass...not alone here on that score.

Thanks NNG.

On the site charliesmurderers.com, there is someone named Kordell Coleman who the site says, works as a Career Counselor for the 1st recruiting brigade for the US Army. His hometown is listed as Vancouver, Washington.

Can someone verify this, and then if it is true, notify Secretary of War Hegseth and ask him to to take any disciplinary measures he sees fit?

Boy, there sure are a lot of dumbasses getting fired from jobs for vile and ghoulish behavior. A lot of idiots outing themselves as being lowlife scum.

I’d fire ‘em for that crap too. Good riddance.

At this point, I’d suggest near 3,000 individuals ‘let-go’ this week, and will predict by early October....near 10,000 who were fired.

In the present market.....it’ll be a tough Christmas season for some folks lacking empathy.

You are so right. And once again, it seems President Trump is responsible for this. Bush 43, Mitt Romney and countless spineless repubics let themselves get run over by the media and by the leftist public time and again. They never fought back…always had to “take the high road,” which did no one any good. Trump, on the other hand, fights back and punches harder. He has given conservatives the courage to do the same. These employers (NFL, universities, whatever) are now in a position of having to get their houses in order; they do not want the negative consequences of harboring this sub-human garbage. They will be called out now…and that didn’t used to be the case. Individuals are starting to be held accountable; companies, media outlets and the like are starting to be held accountable.

Yeah, and it’s nuts. Like, look around, guys; read the room. Post all the horrible stuff you want…but don’t come boo-hooing to us when you get yourselves fired. You’re not the victims here.

Yep. Beta males can be quite vicious.

And always a tad unhinged. 😏

Truly, such a shame. I just can’t get over the people with zero forethought to the consequences of posting such gleeful garbage after a death like this. Does nobody think through their actions at all anymore? Smh…

I hope this guy doesn’t have a family at home who depends on his financial support. Yikes.

The Panthers finally make a good personnel decision.

I guess end zone and “back of helmet” slogans can go away now.
