I just want to make friends!
I agree, the flag burners were idiots. Glad to see you come around.
If you had to fire him?! Did you hear the way he was yelling at them? And for having nothing to do with his job duties? How is there any chance I you mind that you would not have to fire him?
Name the lawsuits, not the places where accusations were made. If minorities truly were having their votes suppressed the New York Times, MSNBC, and many others would be covering it 24/7.
Judge strikes down Wisconsin voter ID, early voting laws - Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
Here for one. Google will get you the others...if you really want to know.
No, I want you to name lawsuits where voters were actually intimidated, which has been claimed here. The only actual voter intimidation I'm aware of was in 2008 in Philadelphia where Black Panthers armed with clubs were intimidating people going into at least one polling station that they felt might not vote for Obama. By the way Wisconsin, especially Madison, tends to be liberal. Look at the rabid response to Scott Walker's actions to bring the budget under control. Which he did.

You live in a fantasy of "alternative facts".
No, you refuse to face the facts. Tell me, what happened in Ferguson, MO? Was he on his knees with his hands up, as his friend claimed, or did he charge the police officer after already trying to wrestle the officer's pistol away, as every other witness testified to and forensic evidence examined by Holder's Justice Dept corroborated?
It will be fine

The laws are being struck down because they disproportionately affect poor and minority voters. You are on the side of discouraging voting. Much like the people supporting this fedex guy. They are on the side of restricting speech through force.
I'm not aware of anyone complaining that they are being discouraged from driving because they're required to have a driver's license. But requiring them to present a driver's license to vote is somehow suppressing, intimidating, etc. Most States I believe will actually provide a non-driving state I.D. for minimal cost. Seems the only people truly complaining about providing a picture I.D. are those who would benefit from creative voting techniques.
No one is restricting voting through force, not a fair analogy.

Well Van, since the civil rights era, this is the method your side uses to minimize the "minority" vote. And I think it's pretty sad that someone with Native American ancestry is blind to this form of oppression.

How did he negatively affect "the brand" in your mind? It was only negatively affected if you're a leftist commie traitor who likes flag burning. He should be given a BZ.

His speech was putting out the fire, so their free speech cancels each other out.

Apparently FedX has 'issued a statement' regarding the matter, but does not really address the issue of Mr. Uhrin being fired, or not.

You're really not talking about constitutional rights, you're talking about state code laws in general. In the first scenario that would be breaking and entering, robbery. Second scenario would be trespassing at the very least. You can't put a logging chain on a bank door anymore than a church door. Third would be assault whether it be KKK or BLM members (whichever hate group you want to use). BTW, how many burning KKK crosses have you seen in person? You can't tie anyone up to a tree anymore than a burning cross. These are laws to protect people from harm, not to protect people's constitutional rights. The Constitution was originally to protect people from the government and no one else, but did get expanded through time. So in your scenarios the defendants wouldn't be charged with violating the constitutional rights of their victims. They would be charged with violating state codes. If someone wants to exercise their 1st Amendment right to speech, they cannot go on to someone's private property to do it if it's unwelcome. If someone wants to exercise their freedom of religion and sacrifice a goat at Walmart, Walmart can stop that person from doing it. If a business wants to ban gun carrying customers from their business, they can even though it's their 2nd Amendment right. So individuals and groups can and do violate people's constitutional rights everyday. Private property trumps constitutional rights.
