Richard@zachklipp we have no idea if these folks fall in those categories, but if they do they were fools to participate or not to accept multiple offers to walk away before arrest. If your family's health and well being is tied to keeping your job so strongly that COBRA isn't enough, and even more so if your family's visa is, it is insanely irresponsible to take a protest this far (no matter how unfair we might think that is). It's more likely that they thought they would face no consequences at all.
Michael Gruar@richard_merren @zachklipp Some of the people fired weren't even part of the protest, and of the ones that were, a decent portion left as soon as they were asked to leave. Didn't matter.
@mgruar @zachklipp I would join you in comdemnimg them firing people who were not involved in protest or disruption. I'm not sure why you think I or anyone else would not, other than possibly a fanatical belief that anyone who doesn't show ideological purity to everything you ascribe to must therefore disagree with you on everything and be evil. But that would be weird and make you just like a MAGA nut, so I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that you are just making rude assumptions.
@richard_merren @zachklipp I mean, you're ascribing a lot of stuff to what I said - I was just trying to clarify that when we're talking about the people who were fired, some of them weren't part of the protest, some of them left as soon as they were asked to, and a majority were gone before the cops were involved. That's the nuance that gets lost here.
@mgruar @zachklipp Now nuance is important.
