While all that's true, his mewling after the fact yielded him nothing.

He obviously should've considered the possible consequences beforehand,
but once you've well and truly screwed the proverbial pooch, what's one's backbone to gain by groveling ?

If his family loves him, they might be pissed for awhile, and eat more beans etc, but they'll stand behind him and they'll all be ok in the end.

How do you know they'll all be OK in the end?

Who is going to hire him now and subject themselves to the angry mob?

Keep in mind, this happened in Texas.

“...eventually you’ll be arrested and shipped off for re-education.”

All handled by a well-trained and respectful SWAT team at 3am in the morning.

Cuz I prefer happy endings, and my projection is as valid as your doubts  ;-)

...sent an inappropriate private message to attorney Michael Avenatti from his personal social media account.

So he sent a private message as a private person and the recipient makes the private message public? How is this a matter for anyone other than the sender and the recipient?

It definitely would have been wiser not to privately make a public comment on a public forum about a public issue, because only leftist freaks are allowed “private, personal affairs”.

“Republicans are letting Kavanaugh swing in the wind right now. Do you think they’re going to stand up for this guy?”

You are so right and that is why Trump won.

Note that the Democrat media mouthpiece that wrote this article didn’t explain that the “f***ing douchebag” and “lying piece of s**t” Avenatti had just accused a respected Federal judge on the second highest court in the United States of America of organizing “gang rapes” in college.

He was getting nuked by the trolls from our side on Twitter.

Twitter is like the elephant graveyard of brains. Just yell at your tv or radio, people. You’ll make just as much impact on the target of your ire.

I'd like to think that you lose your job, you pull yourself up, dust yourself off, and go pound the pavement. Eventually you'll land something.

However, the rules today are different in this Brave New World.

Any consideration this guy receives will come with a google search. The hiring supervisor will learn why he was fired. The prospective employee comes with baggage. Even if you agree with what he did, is it worth it? Or is it easier to send him down the road, "Good luck to you..."

The Left, who has been empowered to enforce their social mores on everyone has not yet told us what the means of redemption are.

He probably didn't think he'd lose his job and his ability to provide for his family over it.

He sent a private message and Avenatti published it. That's his fig leaf.

What I wonder is whether his email identified his affiliation with the school. That would have been a serious mistake. If Avenatti tracked him down and outed him, his fig leaf just got a lot bigger.

I always preferred self-employment.
Never got rich, and the boss could be a bit of an OCD prick at times, but at the end of the day I was ok with it  ;-)

Twitter is a putrid cesspool, no doubt about that, but it is where the war is being fought. One battleground at least. If it wasn’t making an impact, they wouldn’t be silencing influential conservative voices, one after the next.

Yeah, that's why I got a 48-hour HARD shadowban on Twitter for retweeting the news that Ed Whelan had identified "another female" at Chrissie Blatantly-Whored's phony "party".

That news was getting "noticed", so their mods had to smack it down hard.

Twitter is like the Napoleonic Wars. Smoothbore muskets, inaccurate - so volume of fire, organized, is what counts.

Apparently is Twitter profile identified where he worked.

Word to the wise. If you want to engage in war with leftists on Twitter, make sure you have a profile slicked of all ties to your real life. Sure, they can still figure out who you are if they want to but at least you'll have a fighting chance.

Yes. Avenatti trolled him.
