I'm with you on the internet lynching mob stuff, but just as a matter of principle, should it make a difference to his firability whether this was brought to the public's attention by right-wing trolls or someone who was earnestly bothered by the tweets? Either his conduct deserves the result that he got or it doesn't. It's not that we should fire people for horrible offensive tweets but only if the people who made them into news are on the left. That should be irrelevant to the outcome.
