Cincinnati sports arena TQL Stadium, where pro soccer team FC Cincinnati plays, has taken action and banned a food vendor who posted social media messages expressing his glee that conservative activist Charlie Kirk had been assassinated.On Wednesday, Cincinnatians were outraged when local restaurant owner Aaron Sharpe posted a message saying “Good riddance. What a piece of shit,” in the wake of Kirk’s murder.In another post, Sharpe warned that he would not apologize and was proud of his opinions on Kirk’s murder.“If you think that threats of social media attacks on me or my business will in any way keep me silent about what I believe, you are sorely mistaken. I know exactly who I am and on what side of history I stand,” he wrote, according to WCPO-TV....Further, the Lucius Q chain itself cast Sharpe out and reported to patrons that he had been eliminated from his ownership position.“Aaron Sharpe is no longer associated with Lucius Q. We found the comments he made on his personal social media pages offensive and, as a result, have severed ties with him,” he restaurant chain said in a Facebook post.
Did the Washington Post fire a long-time editor for speaking truth to power? Or did she lose her job because she couldn't do basic research before smearing the victim of a political assassination? Or worse?YMMV, but the way Karen Attiah frames the argument in her newly launched Substack certainly looks sus, as the kids say these days. It takes her an awfully long time to get to the catalyst for her termination .... and for good reason, as it turns out:...What journalism) "work" would that be? Well, it turns out to be the work of slagging Charlie Kirk in the immediate aftermath of his murder. To be fair, a number of journalists also believe that to be their "work." One can perhaps understand her confusion on this point.QuoteThe final straw appears to have come on Bluesky, where Attiah's attacks on Kirk got published. She used quotation marks to alter his words and take a point out of specific context as a means to cast Kirk as an all-out bigot and misogynist:My journalistic and moral values for balance compelled me to condemn violence and murder without engaging in excessive, false mourning for a man who routinely attacked Black women as a group, put academics in danger by putting them on watch lists, claimed falsely that Black people were better off in the era of Jim Crow, said that the Civil Rights Act was a mistake, and favorably reviewed a book that called liberals “Unhumans”. In a since-deleted post, a user accused me of supporting violence and fascism. I made clear that not performing over-the-top grief for white men who espouse violence was not the same as endorsing violence against them.My only direct reference to Kirk was one post— his own words on record....Except those actually aren't Charlie's "words on record." Attiah sources this from an article rushed out by The Guardian less than 24 hours after Kirk's death that attempted to argue sotto voce that Kirk had it coming. Even if one grants the Guardian the presumption that they took his words in context, Attiah changed the quote the Guardian provided at the link she used as a reference. This is the quote that the Guardian allegedly pulled from Kirk's show in July 2023:QuoteIf we would have said that Joy Reid and Michelle Obama and Sheila Jackson Lee and Ketanji Brown Jackson were affirmative action picks, we would have been called racists. Now they’re coming out and they’re saying it for us … You do not have the brain processing power to otherwise be taken really seriously. You had to go steal a white person’s slot to go be taken somewhat seriously.Note that the quote doesn't include the phrase "black women" at all. Kirk referenced four specific black women in this criticism, arguing that their own words made them look like affirmative-action charity cases. The "you" in this case refers to the four women he named. Attiah rewrote this quote to make it sound as though Kirk was talking about all black women. That is journalistic fraud. And that is likely why the Post just handed Attiah her walking papers. ...

WaPo Editor: I Got Fired Over Charlie Kirk[/snip]
All of these disgusting responses somehow thinking murdering another human being because of differing opinions is something to celebrate
More here: “The real question is how she kept her job this long. While I’m glad the Post finally took action, it is absurd that Attiah was kept on the payroll for years on end, even as she excused violence against her perceived political opponents and promoted the ideas of Islamic terrorists. Lastly, lest anyone believe Attiah was a free speech absolutist, she lobbied to get the editor fired who published Tom Cotton’s 2020 op-ed suggesting the use of the military to quell widespread, left-wing riots.”Attiah was pro October 7th: WaPo Columnist Celebrates Anti-Jew Terrorism As Exactly What ‘Decolonization’ Means.And long before she cheerfully smeared Charlie Kirk as a crypto-racist, Attiah was doing the same thing to her fellow leftist, Nancy Pelosi, in 2019:

However, if I do this while stating that I am a journalist and work for a news organization, my dishonesty would reflect ill on my work and on the work published by my employer.If her dishonesty while claiming to be a WashPost journalist was the reason for her canning, it demonstrates how fundamentally dishonest she was being (I wonder if she may even have gone full "He's too evil to deserve honest quotes and representation!").

In one post, he responded to a user who called Kirk the right's "Rush Limbaugh replacement" with the message, "Yup. Good riddance, both." In another, he wrote, "It is OKAY to be happy when someone who hated you and called for your people's death dies—even if they are murdered."When the Washington Free Beacon contacted UCLA about the posts on Friday, the school first provided a statement that condemned "any statement in the strongest possible terms that celebrates or condones violence" but did not reveal whether Perkins would face discipline.
