CAROLINA PANTHERS FIRE EMPLOYEE AFTER SOCIAL MEDIA POST ABOUT CHARLIE KIRK’S FATAL SHOOTING:
The Carolina Panthers have fired an employee in the team’s communications department due to an insensitive social media post about the fatal shooting of conservative activist Charlie Kirk in Utah, a source familiar with the team’s decision said Thursday.
Charlie Rock, a football communications coordinator for the Panthers, posted on his personal Instagram account Wednesday, a few hours after the 31-year-old Kirk was shot and killed while speaking to a crowd at Utah Valley University. The post read: “Why are yall sad? Your man said it was worth it …” and included a photo of Kirk. Rock also included a reference to the Wu-Tang Clan song “Protect Ya Neck” in the post.
There’s quite a bit of that going on today:
Following massive backlash, DC Comics has officially canceled trans writer Gretchen Felker-Martin’s Red Hood series after just one issue.
The first issue was released on Wednesday, but DC has now pulled the plug on all future installments.

kids didn’t just wake up one morning and start cheering at assassinations
they have been trained
the majority of teachers today have nothing to do with education, they’re communist activists and their mission is ideological programming https://t.co/qMHfuewVgQ

As a result, for those who have some prominence on social media, they must have assumed there would be widespread approval for their hateful rhetoric:

Otherwise, we’re in the territory mined daily for years by Libs of Tiktok. Do lefties on social media believe they’re shouting into the void? Creating Voice Memos on their iPhones that only they would have access to?
There needs to be a name for the paradox whereby people behave on social media, which is accessible to the whole world, as though they are in the privacy of their own home, visible to no one. https://t.co/TCS5PLqMsG
