Wonder who is next! They still need to get the security guard and the fat white guy in the video! and perhaps that black resident who was also defending the cop-he's just a traitor!

I've posted my concern about about the teacher and the white lady losing their jobs. But, please don't compare a job loss to lynching. That is insensitive and a poorly-chosen phrase in this context.

Rhodes was fighting with another woman. What happened with her? Perhaps, no consequences for either of them because it's unclear who started the fight.

The other lady punched Rhodes in the head and was using racial slurs. I'm glad she was fired.

the video showed them both fighting-I'm not sure who throew the first punch, but they should both be fired......oh wait, it would be racist to fire the black person in the fight,

You're talking about the wrong lady. The blonde lady was supposed to be breaking up the fight but instead beat Rhodes in the head.

"He did nothing wrong. He was afraid for his life," Iber posted on a Miami Herald story. "I commend him for his actions."

Disgusting and outrageous. I hope she is fired. As suspected, the cowardly racist deleted her post. I'd respect her more if she left it up and owned it.

She has been fired. I am not sure that these repeated social media mobs that get people fired are a good thing. I am a pretty firm believer in the right to be an asshole from time to time. She deserves all the criticism in the world and maybe some assigned research on racial segregation, but firing for a Facebook post seems a bit much.

Maybe if she worked at Macy's but this person was a teacher.
She dies not have the right to poison the minds of children.

But what about free speech? I'm black and think what she said was despicable (not to mention--WITW was she thinking posting this in a public forum??) but it seems strange that you can get fired for a social media post. A bit of a slippery slope, IMO, but I'm no legal eagle.

Any 1st amendment experts care to weigh in?

I agree. One of the reasons why I'm such as strong conservative is because I DO believe she has a right to her own views - freedom of speech. I don't agree, however, that she should be assigned research because she disagrees with the progressive viewpoint, any more than I think progressives need to do research into Christian viewpoints.

What makes you think progressives don't understand Christian viewpoints? I think anyone who wants to return to racial segregation probably doesn't understand the reality of it.

If they understood Christian viewpoints, they wouldn't be all about the forcing them out of business because they didn't tow the progressive line.

I don't think she wants to return to racial segregation as you see it. I dare say that she's referring only to the criminal element, given she's stating also that they can hurt each other. That's how I read her post. Often-times, in 'bad' neighborhoods, it's 10% ruining it for the 90%. I'd love to separate out that 10% so the 90% can live in peace.
