    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.

    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.

      You’ll find the difference here is that the First Amendment applies to government acts.

      I can fire you for protected speech! The government largely can’t.

      Plus, in this case, misconduct:

      “state officials falsely claimed her private post caused significant operational disruption and generated hundreds of public complaints; discovery in the case revealed those claims to be fabricated”
