"Gay club shooting is community service"; Walmart fires him
Quote:
Walmart has reportedly fired an employee who said on Twitter that Sunday’s mass shooting at Orlando Pulse nightclub – which left over 100 casualties – was ‘someone doing community service.’
The man whose Twitter handle was @IWillTryLater wrote this following tweet on Sunday afternoon after news of the horrific tragedy broke:
‘Y’all see a Gay club shooting as a horrible tragedy. I see it as someone doing Community Service.’
Some netizens quickly screenshot-ed his comment and his Twitter profile, which said that he’s from Marietta, Georgia.
At least two Twitter users had sent the evidence to Walmart’s corporate Twitter account.
Walmart has since sent out a response saying, ‘We don’t tolerate this kind of behavior, He no longer works for Walmart. Our hearts go out to all affected by the Orlando tragedy.’

It aches my heart that somebody could have this much unwarranted hatred in them. Just..why? I try to imagine how much better this world would be w/o people like this.
