Regardless of your political orientation, you should think twice before cheerleading mob justice. If you think mob justice is good and if you think "freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom from consequences" then you're just saying unpopular speech is always bad and wrong. Once the mob turns against your political beliefs then one day you might be the one getting attacked and fired.

Pretty sure there's a pg essay on this. "Unpopular speech is not necessarily bad and wrong" is pretty much, like, the Official Opinion of Hacker News.
