A chain hot dog restaraunt(sp??) in Berkeley, CA, has apparently fired an employee, a cook, who wss on the alt-right side at the deadly Charlottesville demonstration, and who may have done some dodgy, at the very least, things there and seems to have been thought to have done similar stuff at alt-right function/s elsewhere, too. SF Gate had this version of the story, Nanette Asimov co-wrote it and I have given you enough searchable terms to find it yourself! I cannot drag a link on this phone, especially with its power at 6%!

They actually put a sign up in front of their business that says, "Cole White no longer works here".

...Thank you for the link.
If he nothing else but attend such rallies, I am against firing him for his beliefs. However, I do seem to recall that he may have been shown punching someone, for one.
That would give more justification for the firing, though I suppose the " It hasn't been " proven defence could be used.
I was emphathizing that it was a chain place (I don't know how big.) to say that it wasn't precisely a "Berkeley indepent place ".

Owned.

For some reason, right-wingers never seem to realize that actions have consequences.

How come right-wingers never have jobs? Why can't they grow up and get a life?

"I was fired for going to the ..."

SHUT UP! Quit blaming other people for your own laziness! Got out of mommy's basement for once! :twisted:

The efforts to push employers to fire the offending employees are an example of how the public—but, importantly, not the government—can strengthen the norms against these ideas, attach a stigma to them, and try to move society away from them.
