        Oh. He’s out of line. This should be a “come into my office on Monday so we can discuss the thing I saw on the internet and your future at this company” conversation that will haunt him over and over.

          “come into my office on Monday so we can discuss the thing I saw on the internet and your future at this company”

          LOL. And then the employee reacts how, exactly? “Oh noes, I hope you don’t fire me, I’d hate working for more money at a company not run by someone so oversensitive”

          I’m not arguing that you shouldn’t speak I’ll of the dead or any of that nonsense, hell I was talking shit about her on the day the announced her death, you’re welcome to check my comment history. But there’s a difference between that and protesting at their funeral.

          Shes got family and friends who are grieving - and while she may have been a terrible person (and certainly was, in my view) her family isn’t necessarily, and they deserve their time to grieve as much as any of the rest of us.

          I’m not advocating for rewriting her history, either the shitty things she did in her career or the “weekend at Feinstein’s” shit that had been going on for the last decade, but a funeral just isn’t the time and the place to point out what a shitty person she was. A funeral isn’t for the dead, it’s for the living who are mourning them - and they don’t necessarily deserve to be punished for her actions.

            She is a politician. Sorry, but grieve in private then, she chose for her death to be a political act and so made her funeral a part of those politics.

            Thats not this guys fault. That was her decision.

        When is the time? Long enough after the next time this happens for it to be respectful and for everyone to have forgotten already?

        Nah. We’re talking. Kid done good.

      He’s not out of line. Many of these politician people don’t respect us in life so we absolutely don’t ever have to respect them in death.

        Protesting funerals is specifically legal, shitty but legal. I’m personally fine with it as long as they’re not actively heckling funeral goers.
