The statute says it’s illegal to intimidate any citizen for his political beliefs. One of the posts called for killing more conservatives. I feel pretty intimidated. Arrest the poster.

I believe in free speech. Whether a fireman or EMS worker saying on social media that they should be able to run over an Antifa protester who is blocking their way while tbey are on an emergency run; or one of these liberals celebrating what happened to Charlie Kirk. If it is made off the clock and on their device, free speech should prevail.

In the recent past I have read and agree with the idea that offensive speech in particular needs to be protected.

The reason why those staff and faculty members were not fired, is because liberals are 90 percent of the employee population at Clemson, USC, CofC, The Citadel, Coastal Carolina and all of the public universities in SC. Universities only hire liberals, unfortunately. My husband has worked at several universities and you’d be shocked to know how many democrats are running the show at these universities.

Independent chiming in. This is where political debate (which would be great if it were fact checked and scored as it is in high school or college debate and you had to take the side assigned to you) gets interesting. The folks who last week were very anti-cancel culture are cancelling at warp speed when their favorite mouth pieces say vile and aggressive things regularly. Those in the middle are just sick and tired of hypocrisy by the extremes of both major parties. As with most things, the truth and the path forward is through the middle. This was a tragedy, a victim is a victim, a murderer is a murderer. Whether it’s a conservative poli-entertainer-influencer, a state-level liberal, a child in school, a candidate for office, ….we have to tolerate each others speech but not aggression and violence, period. If you believe it to be a Christian nation check out Jesus’ actual words, turn that other cheek and love your neighbor as yourself if they are wearing a MAGA hat or a Rainbow t-shirt.

Didn’t this blog argue that people shouldn’t lose their livelihoods over usage of the N-word at one point?

I hate the state. I don’t hate the employees however they represent the state in reality. The state is a fiction that without human resources it would not exist. Every employee, every human who receives a paycheck from the state, town, city, county, state and federal, represents the state 24 hours 365 days a year and should be restricted from having any opinion at all. They should not be allowed to vote either after all they have a conflict of interest getting paid by the people they vote for.
Public education is indoctrination and should be abolished. In fact state indoctrination must end if the people want to be free but alas not one in a thousand can see through the brain fog their public education has left them with.
