Racism is going to get expensive. Fed ex employee that mocked George Floyd's death fired

FRANKLINVILLE, New Jersey (WPVI) -- A FedEx worker has been terminated from his job and a New Jersey Department of Corrections Officer has been suspended after a video allegedly shows them involved in an offensive display during a peaceful Black Lives Matter protest in Franklinville, New Jersey.

As Russell Sampson marched in the peaceful protest in his hometown Monday, he captured a video of one man kneeling on the back of another's neck, imitating the way in which George Floyd was killed.

If he thinks what happened to George Floyd is funny then I wonder what he did to inmates. Or allowed to happen, depending on his position.

and bask in the glory of his racist beliefs, claiming that he was denied his first amendment rights.

While his actions are repugnant to a strong majority of American people, he will play well to the haters.

Good riddance, I wouldn't want him coming to my home.

"Was it worth it? You did this thinking it was funny, or your fb buddies would laugh, or some asshole trumper would throw his fist in the air?"
