A Cobb County man who allegedly called the Orlando shootings an act of “community service” in a Twitter post is no longer employed by Walmart, the retail giant posted on its own Twitter page.
The Marietta man, whose real identity is not known, uses the Twitter handle @IWillTryLater and wears a Walmart vest in a profile picture, but has changed his posts to private since a Sunday post. At least two Twitter users sent the offensive post to Walmart's corporate page.
“Y’all see a Gay club shooting as a horrible tragedy,” the employee’s post read. “I see it as someone doing Community Service.”
At least two Twitter users sent the offensive post to Walmart's corporate page. Within hours of being alerted to the Tweet, Walmart issued a replied on its @Walmartnewsroom account.
“We don’t tolerate this kind of behavior,” Walmart posted. “He no longer works for Walmart. Our hearts go out to all affected by the Orlando tragedy.”
No information was released on the store where the man was employed.
