Do NOT click this link if you are easily offended!I won't even post the remark because it's so disgusting, though some of the context can be seen in the link. I will only post this:
Another user then tweeted screenshots of the offending tweets to Walmart and asked that disciplinary action be taken.
{snip}
By Monday evening, Walmart tweeted back that they had fired the man
{snip}
The man has since deleted his original tweets and replaced his cover photo with one showing himself in a Walmart vest making an obscene gesture. When asked for further comment, Walmarts corporate office referred us to their original response on Twitter, which came from their official corporate press account and included the original tweet in question. Store managers at Marietta-area Walmarts did not return calls for comment.

How can ANYONE live with hatred like this in their hearts and souls, and especially someone who has probably been a victim of hate and/or discrimination?? I just don't "get it", even though I WILL admit to having very strong personal feelings, and opinions, about pedophiles and sexual predators/rapists...
Peace,
Ghost

Fundamentalists who call themselves Christians but dont follow Jesus and celebrate when gays are killed, have a right to exist and practice their perversion. They dont have a right to push that perversion on others.
