Free speech wins against fascism

https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/5892022-florida-settlement-biologist-charlie-kirk/

Florida officials have reached a settlement in which they will pay $485,000 to a biologist who was fired from her state job over a social media post criticizing conservative influencer Charlie Kirk after his assassination.

Brittney Brown lost her job at the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) in September after reposting a message to her private Instagram account claiming Kirk did not care about children being shot in their classrooms.

The post read: “The whales are deeply saddened to hear about the shooting of Charlie Kirk, haha just kidding, they care exactly as much as Charlie Kirk cared about children being shot in their classrooms, which is to say not at all.”

Brown’s repost circulated on social media after it was picked up by popular conservatives on social media, and she was fired from her job, according to a lawsuit she later filed.

In a settlement agreement Brown signed on Thursday, Florida officials will pay Brown $485,000, including $235,000 to cover the loss of her job, $40,000 in back pay and $210,000 to cover her legal fees, USA Today reported.

The Hill has reached out to the FWC for comment.

Brown’s settlement is the latest payout for claims tied to firings over criticism of Kirk after his death. This week, Tennessee officials paid a retired law enforcement officer $850,000 after he was jailed for more than a month over a social media post he shared about Kirk.

In the wake of his killing at a Utah Valley University event in September, employees across the country faced disciplinary actions or were fired for posts they made criticizing Kirk. A teachers union sued the state of Texas in January for probes targeting educators who made comments online about Kirk.

Brown’s lawsuit was one of the first known lawsuits in Florida involving a state worker disciplined over online comments about Kirk’s killing.

Guess what faggot, that's still protected speech and the era of retarded basement dwellers cancelling normal people is over.
>>
>>1516453
>tragedy
>>
>>1516529
Also it wasn't a tragedy, it was how he wanted to go out since he said dead school kids was acceptable.
>>
>>1516448
The difference is Charlie Kirk was a great American hero. This is why we need laws to protect the POTUS and those he deems worthy from any disrespect, even if it means a ban on quoting them

>>1516695
>We're literally fascists weaponizing the government against you. Look, we got one of yours! I'm loudly broadcasting I'm a retard who thinks politics is a team sport.

If someone on the left was charged with a serious crime I knew they committed, I'd be happy to see them ejected from the government. That's the difference between sane people and you. That you bring up some random asshole like I'm supposed to care about him, like he speaks for me in any capacity, is a projection of your own retarded tribalism. Fuck you pedo protector.
>>
>>1516695
>it's okay to engage in lawfare when we do it.
Classic conservative fascism
>>
>>1516695
When will nick shirley be charged? He's the one who went to a sanctioned hotel in cuba.
>>
>>1516448
Conservatives learning that you cannot fire public officials for their speech as a private citizen on a matter of public concern was pretty funny.
>>
>>1516461
no they don't.
>>
>>1516448
>you will think and feel a certain way
LMAO. no.
