In a number of these cases across the country, supposed fans of Charlie Kirk disparage the very thing he supposedly stood for --- free speech.

The reality does not match the rhetoric.

That post was disgusting. He shouldn't find a job anytime soon. But being fired for speech is wrong. So from that point, he deserves the settlement. But I certainly don't want to be near someone that revels in someone's assassination.

The post in question:

> “the whales are deeply saddened to learn of the shooting of charlie kirk, haha just kidding, they care exactly as much as charlie kirk cared about children being shot in their classrooms, which is to say, not at all”

Seems pretty meh for a firing reason.
