With Charlie Kirk being executed, many who celebrated have either been fired from their job, suspended pending investigation, etc...And many didn't do so while at work or in a work uniform, etc...

Jimmy Kimmel constantly promoted fake news about Russia Hoax, Ukraine Hoax, etc...and has never been repremanded.  But saying the shooter is MAGA got him in deep trouble.

So far, 2 colleges expelled students for their response celebrating Kirks execution.  1 vid that I saw, the guy was non-violent, as in he never touched anyone or destroyed property.  I didn't watch the other one of the female.

Office Max employee fired for not printing a Kirk vigil posters.

When people were being assaulted, their property damaged, denied entry, forced to hide, colleges did little.  Kirk was assault and his property stolen/damaged on video too. 

Is it that the DOJ is now not letting people get away with things?  So employers/colleges are being more strict?  When people were being assaulted, their property damaged, denied entry, forced to hide, colleges did little.

And what's even more interesting is that no one is citing the 1A.  I know it doesn't apply to private entities, but you know how liberals are and will claim their 1A is being violated.

On a subconscious level they understand that it’s necessary to let off some steam before the turning point becomes the tipping point.

I was actually thinking about this more and it's a really good question.

Why this sudden about-face after so many years of promoting horrible behavior?

Economics? Self-preservation instincts? A middle management revolt against senile corporate overlords?

At least 20 years overdue.

That’s why it’s gotten to the point of political assassination being cheered by a large swath of the country.

Congress seems to be the only institution that hasn't changed.

They have actually accelerated ramming through bad legislation.

Isn't acceleration a change in velocity?

So, Congress has in fact changed.

You believing something to be reality doesn't make it so.

Not weird. 

While it seems like a cool way to memorialize someone, it's a pain for employees trying to give the correct coffee to waiting customers.

Maybe something less repetitive like 'Charlie [your_last_name] Kirk?'

Or, the servers could keep a roll of sequential number stickers and tell the customers to remember their number when the name and sticker # is called?

Seems like StarBuck's would have devised a way to do this long ago, since this is not the first time this has happened.

It’s definitely weird. Flapp is just a soulless NPC who apologizes for the corporate overlords every chance he gets.

Do you have something constructive to offer, EEF?

Have you ever had an original thought? Or do you watch corporate news and just copy whatever they say?

Most of the time assaults/damages on campus are going to be enforced by local police, not federal police so I don't think the DOJ is that big of a factor. The fear of losing federal funding might have a bigger role though.

With Kimmel specifically though it can't be ignored that the FCC basically unconstitutionally threatened ABC to revoke it's broadcast license.

This could represent a shift in society but I wouldn't put a big wager on that. Could be fear of a backlash of some sort (violence, Trump's wrath, loss of customers). Maybe it has a different feel due to the fact Kirk had no authority, he just spoke his mind. Compare that to killing/attempting to kill politicians or CEOs. The killing of Kirk is just emotion compared to the attempted assassination which makes logical sense due to the authority a president has.

The FCC did NOT threaten ABC's license.  They simply said the FCC would investigate the Kimmel comments.  No threats to revoke licenses were made in any way.  Before a license is revoked, there would be hearings, settlement meetings and so on.  Only in the event the broadcaster was found to be continually violating their license and made no effort to correct it would the FCC move to revoke that license.  In this case, the broadcaster cited reasons other than the FCC for preempting Kimmel's show, mostly due to advertising revenue and marketing demographics.

The FCC was created to ensure public broadcast companies served the public interest and adhered to set  standards of decency and integrity.  Because they are a regulatory agency, they can dictate that any political candidate provided airtime by a broadcaster must give equal time to any other candidates that oppose the first one.  They also set decency standards so that certain subjects or images can only be aired late in the evening after very young are in bed or the TV is off.  That's not censorship.  It's setting rules to make the industry more sensitive to the public's interest.

Kimmel was telling everyone watching 100% verifiable lies and using the lies to demonize one political group -- MAGA Republicans.  That's NOT in the public's interest.  Prove me wrong.

"They have a license granted by us at the FCC that comes with it an
obligation to operate in the public interest," Carr told Johnson. "I mean,
look, we can do this the easy way or the hard way. These companies
can find ways to change conduct to take actions, frankly on Kimmel, or
there’s going to be additional work for the FCC ahead." Carr likened
Kimmel’s comment to "news distortion," which is against FCC’s
rules for broadcasters.

WAY wrong!  The FCC has always been very concerned about distortion of the news - it’s a very big deal, and Kibble was way into this territory - egregiously so - by the time the FCC cleared its throat.  This is from the FCC broadcast manual:

“However, as public trustees, broadcast licensees may not intentionally distort the news.  The FCC has stated that “rigging or slanting the news is a most heinous act against the public interest.”  The Commission will investigate a station for news distortion if it receives documented evidence of rigging or slanting, such as testimony or other documentation, from individuals with direct personal knowledge that a licensee or its management engaged in the intentional falsification of the news.  Of particular concern would be evidence of the direction to employees from station management to falsify the news.  However, absent such a compelling showing, the Commission will not intervene.”

Leftist have enjoyed a free ride in completely subverting and defiling our civil society for so long, they think it’s their bleeding right.

Well, no, now that they no longer have full subversive control of every lever of power, they are squealing like the pigs they are.  Get used to it, because they are OVER.

Music to our ears.

Yes.  If the licensee is determined to have intentionally violated the rules under the FCC license agreement, then the license can be revoked.  If Kimmel went "rogue", broadcast lies and political attacks, then refused to issue a correction and apology, the licensee has no choice but to take corrective action (preempted Jimmy Kimmel Live! programming).  The alternative would be to implicitly condone his statements through inaction thereby becoming a part of the FCC violations putting their license at risk.
