1. "why did you leave your last job"? I hung a man in effigy "that's all the questions we have"

"we'll be in touch"

[malaise]

3. I hanged the governor in effigy

See Yah!

[Demovictory9]

4. ..as they push the hidden button to summon the guard to escort him out.

[Grokenstein]

2. ...Consequences? ...ME???

MY FURST AMEN MINT RITES THO!!!

[Jamastiene]

5. Those unemployment lines keep getting longer and longer.

Keep going, right wing assholes. Keep right on going with your hate and violence. Finally, some damn consequences for right wing violence and bigotry. It is about damn time.

[GemDigger]

16. The good news is because he was fired he will not be able to collect unemployment.

The other good news is because of Covid the idiot is going to have a hard time finding any job because half his town is out of work and he now has a shitty reputation.

[Jamastiene]

18. Bonus!

Maybe there is a way to train these people to act civilized after all.

[lastlib]

32. ...and maybe there's a way....

..to saddle a unicorn and ride it!

(I bet that'll happen before they get trained not to drag their knuckles....)

Sorry to be snarky--I just have a damn low opinion of the troglo-nuts.

[Jamastiene]

42. I normally don't have high hopes either.

So, I get it.

We definitely would stand a better chance at training the unicorn, if we can find it.

Where is the unicorn? PM me, if you know, because the right wingers will torture it then shoot it to death if you let them know where it is. Make sure they never know where it is.

I'm sure I can tame it. I can tame any animal.

If we can find the unicorn, maybe we can turn it into a space flying unicorn and go find another planet. I will need a saddle, a socket set, an Xacto knife, and some craft paints. Oh, and someone to build it a spaceship and spacesuit. I just want to decorate the saddle, lol.

Unlike what happened with the internet, that ruined it and turned it into popup hell full of too many ads and browser crashing nag screens and bigots everywhere, let's promise each other NOT to tell our Trumplodyte, right wing lunatic family members about it or teach them how to ride the unicorn to get there, ok?

That might be the only way we can ever have a decent world to live in, if we make damn sure not to let any of them come and make sure any children born and raised never become like them. That would be a world worth fighting for, and at least hopeful.

I will happily go with the training and riding the unicorn idea, because it's taking too long for right wingers to evolve. I don't have trillions of years for the slow pokes to evolve. We already know they can't do it in mere millions of years, because they are purposely willfully stupid and too stubborn for anyone's good. I'm tired of the rest of us being held back by them.

We could have fun with the unicorn idea. It's hopeful, at least.

I hope we can bring lots of artists and musicians to any new planet we find. I want beauty and joy in the new world.

[lastlib]

43. I'd willingly ride that unicorn with you to that planet!

And poets! With any luck we could bring John Lennon back to life there!
Peace to you!

49. You can still collect after the waiting period (used to be 12 weeks I think)

[GemDigger]

54. If you were fired without cause.

Not if you were fired for misconduct whether in or outside the workplace.

[Massacure]

62. I wouldn't bet on that

Different states have different rules depending on what disqualifies a person for unemployment and so I did a quick Google search looking for Kentucky's. Kentucky's statue states, "He has been discharged for misconduct or dishonesty connected with his most recent work." The employer had every right to fire an employee who acts like an asshole on their own time, but I suspect it would be a stretch to connect hanging an effigy of Andy Beshear to the persons work.

[GemDigger]

63. Then I must be reading this wrong.

https://eligibility.com/unemployment/kentucky-ky-unemployment-benefits


You must be out of work through no fault of your own

While every case is different, your Kentucky unemployment benefits eligibility is not likely if you were fired or quit your job. In these cases, you are welcome to apply for Kentucky unemployment benefits, but the claim is likely to be denied. In order to receive Kentucky UI, you must be out of work—or receiving significantly reduced hours—at no fault of your own. This type of employment generally occurs through lay off or company closure.
While being fired for misconduct or quitting are not usually grounds for unemployment insurance benefit eligibility, there are certain circumstances where the reason for quitting is that you had no other choice than to do so. In these cases you may be able to collect unemployment benefits.

He got fired for his own actions. I guess we have to settle for a we will never know scenario.

6. Karma

just because their messiah can get away with that crap, like the woman in NYC, they can not. I do believe because of incidents like this, the Blue Wave will be even bigger in November.

[UpInArms]

11. Welcome to DU, yankee87

Glad to have you with us ..

Long may you post ...

[niyad]

15. Welcome to DU.

[yankee87]

30. Thank you

Thank you. Nice to be in a website without Reich wing aholes

[niyad]

31. DU has helped save what little is left of my sanity lo these many years of reichwing horror.

Some of the finest people in the world here, from all over the world.

[tavernier]

36. Glad you found us?

We are too.

[GB_RN]

47. Bartcop.com

You’d have loved his (Bartcop’s) site. I miss him terribly. He kept me sane during the GWB years and I’d give anything to have him back, beating on Dolt45. RIP, Bart.

[Windy City Charlie]

22. That's the problem

They have the stupidity to think that since Trump gets away with stuff like this, that they can too. Or, they hope Trump's team will get wind of this and come to their rescue.

[maxrandb]

44. It's Hate fucking Radio. It all comes down to that.

All they listen to convinces them that they'll be greeted as liberators or conquering heroes when they pull this shit.

They're convinced they're the majority because there is nothing telling them otherwise.

Puntastic!

[vercetti2021]

8. Actions of consequences

Before posting stupid shit online, think twice.

[RockRaven]

9. Wompity Womp Womp

[CousinIT]

10. AND the murderous Minneapolis cop who murdered a black man with his knee on the man's neck. n/t

[Cha]

12. I like the way you framed that, edbermac!

[badhair77]

13. So now he won't have to share his bigotry time with his work.

Glad to see he got the boot.

[Progressive Jones]

14. There is a price to be paid these days for being racist trash, and rightfully so. nt

[aeromanKC]

17. No UI benefits for you

Womp Womp

[roamer65]

34. Yup. Misconduct.

[Hortensis]

53. Nice extra thought. Thanks, Aeroman. nt

[Hav]

19. Wonderful, these terrorists need to be confronted

There was deserved anger directed at Twitter today for allowing hurtful lies from the President. On the other side, two deplorables also got their deserved karma today, to a degree thanks to the Twitter community.

[Cirque du So-What]

20. Do they give his name?

I prefer that names get named.

[rpannier]

27. Probably not

Erring on the side of not giving him a reason to sue

[KY_EnviroGuy]

28. Local news WDRB says "The identity of the individual has not been released."

I'm sure it will be revealed in time.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

21. Great to hear Neil Huffman Auto Group took that stand.

They're a Louisville-based company that's spread out on both sides of the Ohio over the years.

Since this guy still had a job, I wonder what the foundation of his extreme hate action was other than supporting tRump. Local news reported there were at least two KY Rethug state legislators hanging around the protest earlier in the day, no doubt to stir up hate.

Any news item of this nature in the OP is refreshing in Kentucky these days.......

[Midnight Writer]

39. You know, I worked with a Kill The Government guy and butter wouldn't melt from his mouth.

He dealt with customers, the bosses, did a kindly grandpa thing, lots of jokes. Popular fellow.

I believe to this day this guy is going to kill someone. I scan the news and if I see a killing I check to see if it is him.

[33taw]

23. Some right wing a-hole will hire him.

[progressoid]

26. These people are going to continue to lose their shit from now until November.

2020 is going to be a wild ride.

[samsingh]

29. Have they identified the person hanging the effigy?

[Totally Tunsie]

33. "What do they have to lose?"

[SCantiGOP]

35. Karma IS a bitch

Damn, people getting slapped down lately. Karma and an iPhone will kick you ass.

[Corgigal]

37. I believe,

I read his last name is West, and he’s was part of a group called the 3 percenters. Kentucky also know which stupid state reps he meet with, and she stirred them all up too. Called him unchristian, and a baby killer.

We’re pushing back now.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

38. "the employee was terminated." Did they burn the body or bury it?

[MagickMuffin]

40. Perhaps the Feds need to pay the dealership a visit

And find out who this individual is and who his accomplishes are.

Since this was a terrorist threat!

[Gothmog]

41. Good

[Dopers_Greed]

46. Hah hah

I hope this guy is poor forever

[Aristus]

48. "Well, I have to say that our company problem-solving model falls along different lines.

I'm not sure you will be a good fit here. Best of luck..."

[BlueMTexpat]

50. I'm sure that he'll find a job

at the WH - or on Moscow Mitch's re-election campaign.

[hatrack]

51. "But Muh FREEDUMB!!!"

[turbinetree]

52. Just in time to have the US Senate about ready to give him and his family

the big Fuck You in unemployment benefits....after all you were fired, it going to be a lot harder trying to get those unemployment benefits, because they fired you for cause........ .............didn't think about that shit at the time did you ............ .......and if they don't pass the Hero's Act, well you can join the millions of others worried about the mortgage , renter payments or putting food on the table......write letter to your fucking hero and see if the orange turd will help pay your bills......maybe some others that were at the fucking disgusting thing will also loose there jobs.............. .......................hows that tea party thingy going now for you now dumbshit............ who are you going to blame for your your actions now.......grow the fuck up,................oops to late....

[Mickju]

55. I'm so glad they did that.

I hope they reap some benefits.

[11 Bravo]

56. Shit happens.

58. T & P

[louis-t]

59. They think they'll be heroes in RW circles.

I'm waitng for the 'tearful apology'.

[muntrv]

60. Has he started a GoFundMe page yet?

[zentrum]

61. Not to mention the 3 Cops

…..who murdered George Floyd as he gasped, I can't breathe".

They are now fired but should also be put on trial.
