No, NYT, We Don't Need to Feel Bad for These People

Is The New York Times trying to drum up sympathy for those who posted awful things about the assassination of Charlie Kirk and then got fired over it? Also, the notion that Facebook posts are some private communiques is beyond silly: it’s a public platform, and don’t be shocked if you get raked over the coals for saying something stupid. The same goes with Twitter. But, yes, the publication is trying to do that, and you can feel the rage from the print. We got these people fired, and we don’t care. Now, of course, they picked the tamer of examples. Still, it goes without saying: stop posting stupid crap relishing people with whom you disagree dying on social media and expect zero backlash. Most who got the axe are at-will employees, and employers aren’t and shouldn’t tolerate staffers who endorse domestic terrorism.
Those who made vile remarks of Charlie Kirk's killing have themselves to blame solely. They brought it onto themselves.
