Call me old fashioned, but I do expect for things like this not to happen in an open, democratic society whose founding document explicitly declares free speech to be sacrosanct.

Update: "things like this" is meant to refer to the act of suspending Kimmel's show in response to the specific, rather innocuous, comments he made in his monologue

Which "this" are you referring to, the shooting, the endorsement of it or the firing over the endorsement of it?

All of them are bad but the ones on the left end of the sentence are more bad than the ones on the right.

Edit: The endorsements and firings broadly speaking, not regards to anything specific to Kimmel or ABC
