Because I thought someone else might already be familiar with it. Plus you can't believe everything you read about a news source on the internet! 🙂

People are losing their jobs for criticizing Charlie Kirk on social media

September 11, 2025 - A radio station in Las Vegas has fired an employee over comments made after the fatal shooting of activist Charlie Kirk on Wednesday. The employee, Bobby Machado, worked as a behind-the-scenes producer for KKGK (1340 AM, Fox Sports Las Vegas) and KWWN (1100 AM, ESPN Las...

A Staff member at Lotus Communications of Las Vegas is fired over his rants of the dead pundit.

The employee, Bobby Machado, worked as a behind-the-scenes producer for KKGK (1340 AM, Fox Sports Las Vegas) and KWWN (1100 AM, ESPN Las Vegas), two sports radio stations that are owned by Lotus Communications.

In a now-deleted post on X (formerly Twitter), Machado took issue with condolences expressed toward Kirk and his family. Kirk, a polarizing and often controversial conservative activist and podcaster, was fatally shot during a public appearance at a college in Utah on Wednesday.

The English language hasn't a word to express my emotional reaction to Bobby Machado's post. The door would be hitting his butt on the way out with such force it would leave a mark. Machado, like Kirk's murderer, walks among us. Beware.

...like Kirk's murderer, walks among us. Beware.

He was caught late last night and is being held without bond.

He was caught late last night and is being held without bond.

He was actually turned in by his own family (dad). Based upon what I read about the perp so far I doubt he would have been caught otherwise as he had no record nor did he have signs of aggression towards pols. This may change of course as they dig deeper into his background.

What is Discord, and why was Tyler Robinson using it?

The social media platform is used by book clubs and knitters, but also keeps coming up in stories about violence.

The investigators are looking at the accused Social Media pages specifically Discord over the lead up to the death of Charlie Kirk. For those wondering who Discord is its another Social Media platform and its often compared to Meta owned Facebook but the audience is younger.

Mastodon is also worth a look for this sort of stuff. I was on it for quite a while, but quit because I got tired of the nasty "lolol" posts from giggling, gloating morons every time a rich or politically objectionable person died. It used to have quite interesting tech stuff on it, but these days it's a dump.

Any station owner that allows identifiable staff members to commend acts of murder... or any other crime... should immediately revise their thinking and, then, fire that person and the local management that did not take immediate action.

In this case, the Kalmensons took action and dismissed the staff member.

He was actually turned in by his own family (dad).

A neighbor advised the authorities, and then the father arranged the surrender.

Based upon what I read about the perp so far I doubt he would have been caught otherwise as he had no record nor did he have signs of aggression towards pols. This may change of course as they dig deeper into his background.

They had ample photos and all kinds of DNA and fingerprints. The neighbor identified him based on the photos that were published in every media outlet.

Which is why attacking media because of bias is a waste of time. The people claiming bias are just expressing their own bias.

Seemed fringe, but shouldn't have been killed for controversial opinions. Just don't go to those events if you didn't like him. But RIP, he was able to laugh at himself for the South Park parody, which is more than some.

A lot of things in this administration are "fringe" if you look at the polling. But it operates as though it's majority view.

This death of this demagogue is no more important than ANY of the 46,000+ Americans who die from our gun obsession each year.

This commentary sums his impact well;

Your failure to differentiate a political assassination from crime and domestic abuse is astounding and deeply troubling.

I'd be deeply concerned, whether it was Kirk or had been Ocasio-Cortés. You are equating, by your statement, the shooting of Lincoln or JFK with gang violence.

You are equating, by your statement, the shooting of Lincoln or JFK with gang violence.

Reminder that Kirk was never elected to anything in any state or anywhere. The comparison might be to Alan Berg. Or perhaps MLK.
