I can kind of understand "firing" a guy that you don't care about at all. He's not even an employee.

But don't it look bad to be negotiating with criminals like this?

And then, maybe figured that firing this guy would make the problem go away. But that would be wrong figuring. First off, Antifa is never satisfied. Secondly, a whole different group of people might form a Twitter mob on you. Since you acted for the first one, you can't now tell them that you have a policy of ignoring their bullshit. U stuck.
