Yes and no

If your employer got a hold of that and you were fired would they be within their rights knowing as an employee you could endanger the other employees?

Censorship was probably not the incorrect word to use, as the Constitution clearly states that mentally ill speech is protected.

However, my question isn't necessarily in reference to protecting the speech of the mentally ill, but declaring what someone says as a symptom of being mentally ill. Hence, openly celebrating someone's assassination. Is that a moral, social, or mental issue? Maybe all of the above?

The point I'm making, is it's not normal to celebrate a person's political assassination, at least not in the USA. Should that person be red flagged? It seems a lot of these shooters have a history of making immoral/mentally; deranged comments. If we're going to catch mentally ill people before they have a chance to kill people, shouldn't we be paying attention to what they say?

Jerry an employer can fire about anyone it wants to some degree.

Government employees can also be fired for speech.

I’m aware of that that’s the point I was making but others just keep saying free speech has no boundaries over and over. LOL That was not directed at you just the way it laid out.

Let's be honest here, after leaving The Man Show he just became another sellout. He did and said whatever his handlers told him to do so he could get that big paycheck.

He’s still The Man Show he just wears a suit now like a polished turd but still a turd! Yes a total sellout if he went back in time he would cancel himself with his woke garbage but the rules don’t apply to liberals just us common folks.

Kimmel was the idiot that cried over a lion getting shot and celebrated a conservative Christian being shot.

While these are his utterly stupid opinions, it did give reason for an employer in this country, as things are now, the easy reason to fire him.

He can say whatever he wants but I do hope ABC has enough decency to not rehire this DA. With the statements he made he has forever tarnished himself and possibly The Tonight Show. Charlie Kirk was shot by a madman for stating his opinions.

To stand on stage and cry over a dead lion and then giggle over an assassinated human is unforgivable by any employer. If ABC keeps him, they are condoning his behavior.

What Jimmy said was a statement no part of it was comedy, nothing even hinted towards it being anything but one of his rants on the right. That’s a huge hump to get over the last thing CBS needs is another massive lawsuit over a dying show.

I already said that there's no such thing as free speech in the private sphere. Your employer can fire you for whatever they want within the confines of your employment contract (if one exists), including speech they don't like.

Free speech only has no boundaries when it comes to being punished by the government (excluding things like libel, and even that is debated)

No.
Your Momma should just slap the taste out of your mouth. She didn't raise you to be that way.
That's what I feel like doing to everyone who is shooting off at the mouth right now. Them getting fired all over the place is calming down a bit.

Bernie Sanders does eat poop. I see it flying out of his lying mouth every time he opens it. Carry on.

Mentally ill speech that insinuates violence toward someone is not protected.

I suspect that an audience of only 1 million viewers had a lot to do with the decision. Nobody watched the show.

Greg Gutfeld said tonight that Kimmel doesn’t have the guts to go out in the open and face the public like Charlie did and debate them.

Anyone give any thought that maybe ABC is trying to just get out in front of the news for when it's announced that Kimmel was an Epstein frequent flyer? Massie said one of them is a prominent tv figure.??? Hmm

Ol dad

Nah. His contract is up in a few months anyways. Just a good way to get rid of him without looking like the bad guy.

ABC was losing 40 mil a year on that show....good excuse to let him go without the whining from his fan club
