Before you say it’s just a video, consider what would happen if a person without power and wealth did this.

How would you feel if a third grade teacher published a video of himself killing a woman colleague and the principal. Would you want him teaching kids or would you want him fired and his license revoked?

How about a postal worker? The person working next to you at your job? A cashier at your local super market.

Anyone else would be fired. Gosar’s getting a finger waving and extra free time while being paid with taxpayer money.
