tl;dr - Michael Miselis, a UCLA doctoral candidate and employee with security clearance at Northrop, was fired from Northrup after a video was published of him beating a black person and others at the Unite the Right rally.
A quick takeaway - if you're going to protest, regardless of political orientation, there are consequences for acts of civil disobedience/law breaking. Only engage in these activities if it's worth it to go to jail, lose your job, lose career opportunities to make a political point. It's also important to engage on that level from a well thought out position and be ready to publicly make a case. It's not enough to follow a violent mob, hide from public view, and try to dodge consequences. That's not free assembly or free speech at issue. That's just mob mentality or violence for the sake of violence.
