for all of the frivolous terminations at the whim of the mob? Like the Mexican-American that was fired for hanging his hand out of the window. Most of the reaction is directed toward the BLM movement but I've barely seen anybody directly going after the ones doing the firing...most of the sentiment seems to be they had no choice because of BLM but frick, where does it end?

Re-electing Trump and crushing their dreams for another 4 years is a start.

For the record i'm not political and think all politicians are scum. I just enjoy watching green haired people sky scream.

I'm in no way political as well, I just hate seeing people lose their jobs for zero reason other than the interpretation of their actions offended someone

My father was fired on Monday in Tennessee simply for this Facebook comment, “the only thing that the looters did not take was the work boots” while others from his company were not for similar comments on the main post.

Needless to say, legal avenues will be exhausted.

If you value freedom of speech and have an option for your healthcare, don’t go to a branch of Baptist Memorial Healthcare.

This is America, bub. We don't hold businesses accountable for shite here. It's called capitalism.

Sorry to hear about your Dad.

There is a guy commenting on Gravy’s page that the destruction is nothing but an insurance claim.

He works for an insurance company !

I think it's pathetic that business's are terminating people at the whim of the mob but whats the fix? Do we force employers to employ folks they'd rather not? I know that's done to some extent already but I'm not for increasing that.

Discrimination. He gets fired but others from his company do not with similar posts. He has zero reprimands in his file and the lowest score that he has ever gotten on a progress report was a 98.

Pick a particularly bad one and throw everyone's energy into crushing them

I have no suggestions

Google and NBC are at the top of my list

Both are hard to "hurt" though.

To me it wouldn't be so much about the damage inflicted, but I do think it will be impossible to turn the tide on this stuff until corporations have really solid evidence that their pandering is really only appealing to small segment of the population and that a larger segment will reward them if they help us return to sanity.
