By Cherranda Smith Apr 29, 2021 A nurse in Oklahoma is suing the hospital where he worked after getting fired over a Facebook post in which he called for the lynching of a Black man suspected of murder. Kevin Murnan was a registered nurse at Norman Regional Hospital for 19 years before his termination. “Get a big tall tree and a short piece of rope!” Murnan wrote online, referencing a Black man accused of killing a child, The Oklahoman reported. He was terminated from the hospital late last August and is suing his former employer for $1.2 million. Attorneys for the hospital asked a judge to dismiss the case, saying Murnan should accept the result of his actions after he “chose to pen his hateful thoughts and send them out into the general public believing that there could be no consequence for doing so.”
