You don't know this individual but I do.
I know one guy who went down for kiddie porn. Another was screwing his step-daughter. You don''t know them but I do.
And they are right where they belong -- in prison.
The story is not all correct.
Okay; what parts are incorrect?
I assume you never drove drunk ever?
Ad hominem arguments take you nowhere quickly. (NB: That means, "Attack your opponent instead of your opponent's argument.")
And the child was not in the vehicle the entire time.
Does that mean the child was at less risk during the period he was being driven around by a drunken firefighter that he would have been if he had been driven around the entire time?
This person has saved hundreds of lives everyday, is a great person, who made a mistake. Hope your house is on fire or you get into an accident and you have no one come save you.
Oh, the two guys I knew, one of whom had child pornography and the other who was raping his step-daughter? Both military. And one was a senior noncommissioned officer.
Before you judge get the facts straight.
Okay. Give. Us. The. Facts. But understand before you do that that odds are high that those who respond to you will be running on logic and facts instead of rank emotion.
The media only says what it wants to say to exploit firemen and police when something happens to them personally.
Do you know the news editor's axiom? "If it bleeds it leads".
The news media love stories of The Mighty falling because of human frailty. And do you know why? Because by exposing those frailties they ensure that future firefighters, police officers, paramedics, . . . and senior NCOs . . . are not prone to those frailties.
Yet they put their lives on the line every day to protect you. They are human beings too. Shame on you for posting this.
I have consigned two guys I knew, who I served with, to prison, and I am not looking back. That is because having them in the same ranks I shared and do share with other people who served their country honorably defiles all of us.
Let's compare the fire service to 100 two-layer chocolate cakes. We are going to make up all the batter for them at once so we can have all of them ready at once. That will easily come to 125 pounds of flour we will be dumping into the mixing bowl. And add eggs, milk, a little salt, some baking soda, flavorings, and sugar. And right before we switch the mixer on, we carefully add a level tablespoon of the raunchiest, stinkiest, vilest, nastiest diarrhea shit we can find to the mixer. To represent a drunken fireman driving around the city with a kid in his car, understand.
How much of that cake do you want?
