Times have surely changed. People have always made mind-blowing comments like this. But I guess somehow if they tweet it, they think it gives the words some sort validity or legitimacy.
It's awful when it gets them fired from their job! I'm not too sure that's fair or right. When I worked a regular 9-to-5 job people always said crazy stuff. But they didn't get fired for it; unless it interfered with getting the work done. If you didn't do your job or you made it hard for others to do their jobs that's different. That's grounds for termination. After all, the boss didn't hire you for your commentary and opinion. You're supposed to be working! But if you're on social media and on your time and dime, not on the boss's time an dime, I'm not so sure you should get fired.
It's complicated. Because the lady at the park walking her dog was not at work when she dared to call the cops and say that a black man was attacking her and it was caught on camera ... when she came in to work, she got fired! I didn't feel sorry for her at all. Because her actions mean she might also falsely accuse one of her co-workers and cause them to lose their job. You know what I mean?
It's complicated. Hope these folks making comments got a good lawyer.
