However, Rashard is a paid employee of an organization, and is subject to the ramifications of what he says (or posts on the internet).

We, the American consumers, fund Rashard’s blessed lifestyle that allows this platform to make these statements. Rashard’s quality of life is what the dead terrorist aimed to destroy. I find it troubling that Rashard would be so quick to defend a threat to his own way of life.

Rashard is an entertainer. Public relations are a critical aspect of his employment. He may lose his job because he didn’t think about the reaction.

No one is restricting his free speech, and those criticizing Rashard are simply exercising their right as well. He has to deal with the consequences, just like everybody else.
