Under hard tyranny the man would lose his life or limb or be incarcerated in a reeducation facility! That’s where we’re headed!!!
Man Who Burned Koran Near Ground Zero Fired From NJ Job
- September 15, 2010
by Paul F. Villarreal
An unsurprising yet still disturbing development occurred yesterday in New Jersey:
The protester who burned pages from the Koran outside a planned mosque near Ground Zero has been fired from NJTransit, sources and authorities said Tuesday.
Derek Fenton‘s 11-year career at the agency came to an abrupt halt Monday after photographs of him ripping pages from the Muslim holy book and setting them ablaze appeared in newspapers.
The government agency which fired Mr. Fenton attempted to defend its action:
“Mr. Fenton’s public actions violated New Jersey Transit’s code of ethics,” an agency statement said.
“NJ Transit concluded that Mr. Fenton violated his trust as a state employee and therefore [he] was dismissed.”
The question which naturally arises from NJ Transit’s decision is whether or not it is permissible for the agency to fire an employee for what appears to be the exercising of his First Amendment right to freedom of expression when he was apparently not on-duty for NJ Transit.
