Cole White

[post related to this and the previous one (on doxxing)]

Another mainstream doxxing target who demonstrated in Charlottesville in August, Cole White, lost his job because of his participation (see this). He worked at the Berkeley hot dog eatery Top Dog and according to his employer was called in after he was doxxed. He was not fired but voluntarily resigned, which means that enough pressure was put on him to do so. Had he not, Top Dog would have had to fire him, which of course for a participation in a demonstration is fully illegal. It is clear that he lost his job because of this participation and ensuing doxxing.

Imagine a white supremacist owing a hot dog eatery had done the same with a (black, female etc.) employee who had participated in a mainstream demonstration, say, in favour of the “Black Lives Matter” movement and was doxxed by white supremacists. There would be a storm of indignation and an army of lawyers would attack the employer for putting undue pressure on an employee, violating employment law. The employee would be said to be discriminated against.
