EARLE, Ark. — A volunteer firefighter with the Earle Fire Department is off the job after a Facebook post that said professional athletes who protest during games should be “shot in the head.”

Jonathan Marotti was fired as a result of his personal Facebook post, the department’s chief confirmed.

He continued that “obama lovin snowflakes” should be “shot on sight.”

The Earle Fire Department is a volunteer service. Firefighters are paid by the call.
