People not in the media are getting fired for this. A art director who worked at Sony got fired for saying that he hopes the Charlie Kirk shooter was named Mario.

Only if you’re in the media

I had heard from some family about their coworkers getting fired for that sentiment. I don’t know the exact phrasing of their posts.
Yeah, apparently HR has some issues with “I would slice a Nazis head off for free, don’t even ask me what I’d pay to do it.”
