She deserves more than a firing. She needs to go to prison. If we would start putting these celebrities in prison for these kinds of things, they would stop.

All that would do is fire up the left "free speech" junkies and make her a martyr. Public humiliation I think, like whats going in now is a far better solution. If her career tanks that should be more then enough to discourage others from following along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "free speech" junkies are already going full steam ahead. Take down some of the celebrities a notch or two, who think they live under some protected status and are indemnified from prosecution for making death threats and they need to see otherwise. If some good ol' boy from Arksansas got on YouTube and made a video calling for the death of an elected official, no one would be defending his "free speech."

I realize that since Trump was her target, that it isn't that much of an outrage, But she still broke the law and needs to be punished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
