    People not in the media are getting fired for this. A art director who worked at Sony got fired for saying that he hopes the Charlie Kirk shooter was named Mario.

      That’s very different, making fun of the dead is way less socially acceptable than calling white supremacists bad people

      In this case I think that’s pretty funny, but that’s still a spicy joke

          It’s making light of murder in broad daylight, possibly also implying that Kirk deserved it

          Which, no matter how you slice it, is way too spicy for professional settings. Most people were scared by both events, not because they know of or care about the victims, but because the media talks about it in a scary voice
