A man was fired from his job after a photo of him at the deadly Charlottesville rally

Hardly. He was involved with that group, and should have had enough sense not to be associated with a violent organization. He
wasn't just there. This is a racist hate group. He should be smart in this situation, because his picture may be taken.

 

I wouldn't want anyone involved with hate groups working for me, either. That is the chance he takes. There is no room for violent hate
groups in our country.

 

My job is to maintain order and pleasantry within the forum I Moderate and to do so I am at times forced to set standards of discussion. The discussions of late carried connotations that, if left unchecked would likely devolve into ares that would require my use of infraction or vermin removal. From experience I have learned techniques and actions that make the environment secure and acceptable to the membership we seek. The site owner and Administrator put me in place because my experience and fairness are well known and sought after.
I have found that this type of member leads to disruption of what I try to maintain and am thus "Forced" to action as a means of keeping the peace.

 

We are all free to associate with whomever we desire and we are all free to disassociate with whomever we wish.

He was disassociated.

 

Considering the label, violent hate group, has become increasingly subjective in application, there must be room for them. There are plenty of laws on the books should someone violate someone else's rights.

 

And that would be fine, except the die has already been cast, and laws are already on the books. Everything from bakers who dont want to bake wedding cakes for gays to.... guys who just want to take part in a protest to save a statue of a great general.

Can't have your cake and eat it, too.

 

There is room for them in the woods, where they keep their weapons cache and firing range.

 

The hate group was dressed, "locked and loaded" for a violent confrontation. They went there for a violent protest. I understand the 'great general' part and I agree that he was. A peaceful protest does not include guns, and he took his chances by being there with them.

 

So the same goes for BLM and Muslim employees, right

Hypocrisy alert!

 

BS. The nazi dude is a target for violence now. He puts his fellow employees in the line of fire. He puts the employer at risk.

 

So you believe todays Klan believes in slavery! Come on dude FAST FORWARD a half a dozen decades and be current or relevant at least

 

Why? Because some in his group were goaded in to violence! So with your keen logic, just because an couple hundred BLM or even a dozen Muslims exhibited murder, violence and destruction they too should all be targeted for violence, great, you're finally getting it right!

 

Ahhhhh, so you're saying they were marching dressed like old Southern Democrats, groovy, did you salute them or recognize a few LMAO

 

You can fire people for presenting an image to the public counter to what you want your company to represent. I stand by the employer. That said, maybe in the nanny state of CA your views are correct, but they shouldn't be. If I were an employer, I wouldn't keep a neo-Nazi employed in a place where customers can see him. Disgusting people.

 

Pretty much this. Just say that you don't want white supremacists working for you and tarnishing the company image. Almost no one is going to fault you for it.

 

What if you had an employee who was anti-fa and they were swinging baseball bats at Nazis?

 

I'd fire their butt as fast as I'd fire the neo-Nazi.

 

How did he become a danger, was he charged with any crime?

.

 

In many states, yes. In CA, no.

 

California is not a RTW state.


.

 

You can't imagine the shoe and the other foot, aye.

 

Which is exactly the opposite of what their little statement said.

Say he was fired because his, now public, beliefs cast a negative shadow on the business. Instead they say they champion free association, then fired him because of who he associated with.

There is absolutely no side stepping that. This guy wasn't arrested, he apparently wasn't giving the Nazi salute at work, and he obviously wasn't speaking about it there or he likely would have been fired already. That only leaves his association with the Nazis as the reason he was fired.

 

What part of my comment escaped your grasp?

His boss disassociated from him because of his associations. They can fire you for many, many reasons. This is why most people choose associations carefully.

 

So why say you agree with free association if you are going to fire someone based on who they associate with?

 

We are all free to associate with whoever and whatever we wish...we are also free to deal with the consequences that ensue.
