According to TheDailyBeast, SiriusXM has fired Anthony Cumia of the very popular O&A show, allegedly for being outraged at the content of his Tweets following his being physically attacked by one, then several, persons of the African-American community in Times Square.
(Anthony is the guy on the right).
According to Cumia, he was taking pictures in Times Square (you know, the most public of all public places on Earth) when an African American woman expressed outrage at being photographed. When Anthony apparently expressed his contempt and indifference for her complaint, she punched him. Then other African American individuals began punching him as well, making this an obvious example of a hate crime against Cumia.
SiriusXM, rather than condemning those responsible for a racially-motivated, group physical assault against Cumia, fired him for his profanity-laden verbal response on Twitter shortly after he was the victim of the attack.
Fans of O&A are boycotting SiriusXM for its decision.
