%uh security officer the University of California Irvine
was placed on leave this week after CBS 2 in Los Angeles reported
anti-semitic and racist tweets and messages
online he was also a public safety officer at Golden West college
until they also fired him shortly after the report aired
his Instagram account contained photoshopped
images up his children with
Adolf Hitler and won the caption said quote
proud father moment when my daughter met
the great fuhrer now
you think that's bad we are just warming up
another image was ok a black family and idk action quote
mami when is daddy coming home from prison
I miss seeing him beat you and I miss how he made us hungry
Wow
he also posted a picture of a burger with mustard on it
in the shape of a swastika and it said quote
I will have the Nazi burger easy on the juice sauce
I don't even know that means anything that's clever
up but the reason why the story fascinates me
is that a school official initially
defended him Kathy outlaw Honda spokeswoman for UCI
said she found the pictures load some but that because they were posted on a
personal account
basque was didn't violate any school policy quo
as but it wasn't me make us to look at some
all these things we do have freedom of speech in this country
end quote so of course
the question is issue writer issue wrong should he be fired for the messages that
he sent out
now well look I consider myself
a free speech absolutist as you guys you been listening to the show for a long
time
probably know and I think that the only exceptions to
free speech should be the ones that are already there
so in other words this year you know stereotypical throwaway answers
direct insite inciting the violence that's already
a not allowed if you say bomb on a plane and fire in a movie theater is the old
examples people give
arm but that's pretty much it however
tell me this is it rather obviously not a free speech issue
and what I mean by that is that freedom of speech
means we're not going to arrest you and we're not gonna century you for speaking
your mind
and of course nobody is calling for this guy get arrested or for this guy to get
sensor he can still send out race is disgusting tweets
are all day long and sophomore business and
nobody wanted in jail but to me this is like
if a daycare worker was caught saying
but I'm sexually attracted to kids now is it a fair defense in that case
for somebody say well not we can fire him because we live in a country that's
our
free speech and he has a right to say that no because that's not the issue at
hand
you sure to fire him because this means that but he clearly
can't perform the job without being a risk
and that applies to the hypothetical example with the
the pedophile the day care center and it applies to this example is well
I mean this is clearly just an asshole security guard do you really think
that this guy is gonna per as a security guard remember as a security guard
is gonna protect Jewish people and black people
equally like he would protect the white people now we
obviously wouldn't do that mortgage feelings on those groups and people
heat but he says they are inferior he said I like the guy who killed six
million Jewish people
not to mention gypsies and all these other groups as well and remember his
name
is basque Wes that his last name you're listening is ask Wes
and you're gonna say you agree with Hitler
hitler will walk you right into the gas chamber
you're not part of the so-called airy in a release
