Not Because – Xephos1

1. Coats wasn’t fired because he was using a legal drug, marijuana, for a legitimate purpose for which he had a prescription. He was fired for violating workplace policy.

Coats was not let go for using prescription marijuana and instead was fired for violating workplace policy.

2. An employer isn’t able to fire a person who has anxiety because they are taking the correct medication to deal with the issue.

Since the anxiety-ridden person is taking the right medicine for their issue, the employer is unable to fire them.

3. Employees don’t get fired for going out and having a few beers after work because alcohol is legal, but in Colorado so is marijuana.

Just as marijuana is legal in Colorado, so is alcohol. 

4. Coats shouldn’t have been fired because he was trying to treat the pain he endured on a daily basis.

Coats was just trying to treat his pain which doesn’t warrant a termination. 

5. It’s not fair to discriminate against him because he was able to ease the pain of his multiple spasms by using marijuana.

Marijuana allowed Coats to deal with his painful spasms making it wrongful to discriminate against him.

6. Coats wasn’t harming anyone at his job because he was smoking marijuana but he was doing so on his own time and not at work.

No one at Coat’s job was harmed by his marijuana since he smoked on his own time instead of at work.

7. Omar Gonzalez didn’t penetrate deep into the White House because of the swift actions of Secret Service agents.

The swift actions of the Secret Service agents led to Omar Gonzales falling short of his goal.

8. The Secret Service isn’t being compelled to explain its actions because of the way it  responded to the breach of the White House, but how the breach occurred is under question.

The Secret Service is investigating how the breach even occurred. 

9. Secret Service chief Julia Pierson won’t be fired because of her testimony before Congress yesterday. Her incompetence might cost her her job though.

Julia Pierson will keep her job since she gave a testimony before Congress, though her incompetence may cost her her job.

10. Secret Service agents didn’t use deadly force against the intruder because he was carrying a knife with a 4-inch blade.

There was no need for the Secret Service agents to use deadly force against the intruder as he was only carrying a knife with a 4-inch blade.

    These are good for the most part, xephos, but you’ve avoided the problems instead of solving them in:

    3. Employees don’t get fired for going out and having a few beers after work because alcohol is legal, but in Colorado so is marijuana.

    Just as marijuana is legal in Colorado, so is alcohol.

    8. The Secret Service isn’t being compelled to explain its actions because of the way it responded to the breach of the White House, but how the breach occurred is under question.

    The Secret Service is investigating how the breach even occurred.

    Elsewhere, you have a possessive punctuation problem and a misplaced “only.”
