NORMAN A registered nurse is suing a Norman hospital for $1.2 million after being fired over a Facebook post calling for the hanging of a Black murder suspect.
Kevin Murnan, 41, had worked at Norman Regional Hospital for 19 years.
He was fired Aug. 27 after commenting on Facebook about the fatal shooting of a 5-year-old boy. Get a big tall tree and a short piece of rope! he wrote.
Attorneys for the hospital are asking Cleveland County District Judge Thad Balkman to dismiss the lawsuit.
They told the judge the hospital did the right thing after Murnan chose to pen his hateful thoughts and send them out into the general public believing there could be no consequence for doing so.
