A Nordstrom employee has lost his job

in response to the recent decisions by grand juries not to indict white police officers in the deaths of Eric Garner in New York and Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri.

Hodges worked at the Pioneer Courthouse Square Nordstrom in downtown Portland.

But Nordstrom spokeswoman Tara Darrow said the situation is not so much related to the company's social media policy

Darrow declined to say whether Hodges was fired, instead saying he is "no longer with the company."

Nordstrom is in for a $hitshow.

Was at an Art show last weekend (Big 500), and a mob of "i can't breathe" protestors surrounded the place shoving cameras in everyone's faces and causing havoc. It was beyond stupid considering most people in attendance at the show probably support their cause.

The guy is a piece of garbage. I hate all of these shootings and the Walmart one gets me furious in 2 seconds flat.

Still, the guy is a piece of crap.

Stupid thread title. He wasn't fired for expressing his views, but for posting that officers should be murdered.

"I'm not a violent person," he said. "I'm a peaceful man."

Hodges was convicted of fourth-degree assault in Washington County in 2011. When asked about the assault, Hodges said, "It wasn't OK. I let my emotions get the best of me."

Hodges was also convicted of eight counts of manufacturing and delivering drugs in 2011, and was convicted of forgery in 2010.

Well one thing is for sure...Nordstroms doesn't do background checks.
