Quick question. When George Soros passes away, if any conservative posts "good riddance," y'all are Ok with them being fired over it?

---

When he "passes away" or if he is assassinated? Not the same scenario.

University of Kansas is emboldened in this position because somehow they ended up with a liberal as their governor.

KU has a long history of being a liberal cesspool.

Several have pointed out the problem with the question, but I will amend it and go on the record with:

If George Soros is assassinated, if any conservative posts "good riddance," Im Ok with them being fired over it.

And let me add, a lot of the comments made about Charlie are reprehensible and the repercussions were entirely justified, particularly if the person is entrusted with the care of the vulnerable; I.e., teachers and health care providers.

But there's also a lot of attempts to cancel people for saying the equivalent of "good riddance." While I share the desire to penalize these people for these insensitive remarks, my more long term, logical side says, despite how terrible these comments are, they are also unfortunately fairly common when a political figure does. Because political figures often take on a life bigger than their own and aren't really even viewed as a person. The manner of death does change the equation but at base, the question is whether it's ok to not show remorse when a political opponent dies. At least for those sentiments, I think the cure is worse than the disease. YMMV.

UPDATE: Democrat Alaska State Sen Matt Claman says his staffer made a “mistake” and he will not be taking any action after she celebrated that a young father was ass*ssinated.

How so you “accidentally” celebrate that two little kids will now grow up without a dad @mattclaman?? https://t.co/hTOqQksbjE

This is a good question that should give many people pause. Well played

Pardon me if this was discussed already in this long thread, but I am more than a little concerned about what all this means regarding the 1st amendment. Personally, I am greatly satisfied that these clowns are getting fired/removed for their despicable behavior, but I thought we believed in the right to speak our mind without punishment from the government. Many of these universities are public.

Consider the repercussions if the situation is flipped. f16 alone has had many, many postings over the years in a similar vein celebrating or demanding harm on certain people. IAMNAL but when things settle down a bit, I will not be surprised by the lawsuits that come over these dismissals.

Doesn't matter if you are ok with it or not, the poster should know what standard their employer will hold them to as a representative of employer. If a poster uses the same vitriol as the fired left has for Charlie then yes it would be expected and there's no excuse.

Would be curious what this aid's duties include. Was this aid tutored by Kamala Harris?

This has nothing to do with the first amendment.

It has to do with a godless populace. It has to do with a lack of character. It has to do with a lack of judgment.

I get all of that. I am just the type of person that looks at the precedents being set and how they can be used against us when evil rises to power again. And I disagree, it has everything to do with the 1st Amendment. Vile speech is still speech. This is the camel's nose under the tent.

Let's just say the leftists take over the government again after Trump. Do you think they care about the nuance between saying "Charlie Kirk was a fascist and deserved to die" and "Fauci committed crimes against humanity and should be hung from the tallest tree."? Once we establish that it's okay to fire people on a large scale for the nasty things they say, then everyone on this board better get ready for what comes.

Fauci does deserve to be tried in a court of law for crimes against humanity and then suffer the appropriate sentence. Terrible analogy.

---

This is about what people say, which very often doesn't include "after due process and trial by a court of law".

Look, I understand my concern is not going to be a popular one around here. My feelings are the same as everyone else around here about what these people say. But the left is very, very good at taking something righteous that the right does or believes and turning it into a weapon against those same people. My message is cautionary, be careful what you wish for.
