City of Charlotte fire investigator, Crystal Eschert, was fired for comments she made on her personal Facebook page. If you ask me she was just speaking the truth.
“Where is Obama? Where is Holder? Where is Al Sharpton? Where are Trayvon Martin’s parents? Where are all the white guy supporters? So WHY is everyone MAKING it a racial issue?!? So tired of hearing it’s a racial thing. If you are a thug and worthless to society, it’s not race – You’re just a waste no matter what religion, race or sex you are!”
From BizPac Review:
The comments were in response to a police shooting near Ferguson, Mo. where a white person was shot. This came after the shooting death of Michael Brown during an altercation with former Ferguson, Mo. police Officer Darren Wilson.
Eschert told WSOCTV she believes the firing was revenge for raising concerns over a building fire investigators were moving into.
“There was an elevator that went from the basement up and it was wooden. And when we went in the spring, it didn’t want to work too well. So we had to jump to make it function,” she said.
She claimed that a week after filing that report she was called into a meeting and told she about an email complaint the department received due to the following Facebook post.
It seems pretty ridiculous to me that someone who is willing to put their life on the line to protect others was fired for speaking the truth on her personal Facebook page. Holder, Obama, and Sharpton are making this a racial issue, and people who are killing police officers, looting, and rioting are thugs, no matter what skin color.
Experts believe she has a good case against the city for being wrongfully fired.
“I don’t think that it could easily be shown that she thinks that there are certain elements of society that might be thuggish is an indication that she’s not qualified to be able to engage in arson investigations,” University of North Carolina law professor William Marshall said.
“She said something that at best was racially insensitive, but on a public issue on a private page,” Guy Charles, co-director of Duke University’s Center on Law, Race and Politics said. “Between the hand that she’s holding and the hand that the city’s holding, I think I’d prefer to have her hand.”
