Kobylarczyk, a Brewers fan bedecked in all the gear, was upset when the Dodgers took a 3-1 lead and took that anger out on a Dodgers fan in the stadium.

Can you really get fired for what you say about Charlie Kirk? A lawyer weighs in

Dozens of people have lost their jobs in the past week for criticizing Charlie Kirk in the wake of his death, some after conservatives mobilized online to find and report posts they deemed were not sufficiently mournful.
