You are spreading gossip, and nothing but gossip. Just because someone is a fireman does not absolve them of any and all crime. I do not know where you came up with that idea, but when you are outnumbered 6-1, the odds are not in your favor. As for the rest of the crew not hearing you getting your ass kicked and stabbed, let me tell you, you cannot hear what is going on outsid ethe station. My house was solid brick. If the app bay was open, and we were in the day room with the TV on, the surround sound going belly up, locked and loaded in the recliners, like was already stated, a bomb could have gone off outsid eand we wouldn’t have heard it…WITH THE APP DOORS OPEN. If they were closed, even less of a chance. If they had their day room upstairs, what chance do you think there was?

When someone doesn’t knwo what the hell they are talking about, one has best to keep their mouth shut. Especially when one is attempting to bad-mouth my profession. I will take you on any day of the week. Here is one of my brothers who was stabbed by thugs for the crime of being in the wrong place at the wrong time for being the wrong color. I don’t know who the hell you are talking to, but you should try not to talk to people that speak from the place they sit on in the future.

PA-LEEZE.

Did I misunderstand this? “Pu-leeze?!”

By the way, with immigration such a hot media topic, where is the SM on this story? (Rhetorical question of course)

I can see EMT and BFD response times to calls in the Latino areas of Beantown suddenly becoming much longer than usual.

Yet someone else to impugn the name of firefighters. We would NEVER stoop so low as to risk the lives of the public in such a manner as that. How dare you or anyone suggest such a thing. When the tones go off, we get in our gear and get in our rigs and go as fast and safely as possible REGARDLESS to where and who it is. How dare you or anyone consider that we would “punish” the public for any reason. There is an oath we take, and maybe oaths don’t mean anything to most paople, but we take our jobs incredibly seriously and we take human lives very seriously. We are on duty 24 hours a day 7 days a week, 365 days a year. That means we act even when we are off duty. You tell me who does that? You? How dare you. I can guarantee you this guy will be back at work and joking around the kitchen table with the guys about it and will be going back into that same neighborhood and will eventually be saving the life of one of these punks one day and will do so with caring and with dignity and will do so with everything he has, and without any sense of malice wht-so-ever. that is what sets us apart from everyone else. That is what people like YOU don’t understand about people like us.

Although, I must take task with the classification of the word “gringo” as a racial epithet. I don’t think anyone would be insulted being called a gringo.

You don’t get that luxury. You do not get to choose what people get to decide makes them feel uncomfortable. We went through this with another Liberal. See, when it is something that is insulting a white guy, the Liberal excuse is “Well, what white guy would find that offensive”, or “Hey, we deserve it, after all, look at what has gone on for so long” or some other hippie feel good guilt ridden crap.

Well, how about we start saying this then: We don’t think anyone, especially blacks, should be insulted by the “N” word. After all, they call each other it all the time. Listen to a rap album, or Chris Rock, or Dave Chappelle or any other black person. There is no way they chould feign indignance with us if they do it all the time”. Or how about, “there is no way I think anyone should be insulted being called a greaser. After all, that is just a funny name. Why should they freak out about it?”

You can’t do that you sanctimonious punk. Especially, based on your color, how dare YOU decide what it is a white person has the right to get upset about.

Besides that, these people used it as a way to intimidate a fireman, and then chased him down and stabbed him as an attempt to murder him. And for what? Because he is white. Where is your Liberal outrage? You hypocrite. Nothing you say from here on out is worth reading. You have avoided other posts that have been calling for opinions, then when this one rolls around, you poke your hypocritical nose in and decide to tell white people what they can and can’t find offensive while they are being beaten and kicked and stabbed in the chest.

Look, obviously the topics covered here aare too much for you. You need things a little less stimulating. Maybe you should go and hang out at Huff Po. Perhaps you can find someone there that will agree with your hypocritical mind. Here…you just made me vomit a bit in my mouth.
