Congratulations to former Tucson city firefighter Mark Ekstrum, a 28-year veteran who retired last month as the world's worst firefighter because he, according to the Associated Press, refused to respond with his crew to the shooting of Gabrielle Giffords. He's officially the world's worst firefighter. Why? He said "he had different political views than his colleagues and 'did not want to be part of it.'" Yeah, if a group of people are shot, and your job is to save people's lives, you shouldn't be a part of it. Shooting victims should be very careful not to be political in any way, because if they are, they shouldn't expect any first responders to show up. Also: "Mark Ekstrum's insubordination may have delayed his unit's response because firefighters had to stop at another station to pick up a replacement for him." Always good when people are bleeding to death on the pavement.
True dat...but back in the day I bet he would comfort himself thinking, "these people will figure it out. I left some pretty clear guidelines. It will be alright."
Now he just says, "what the fuck?"
Lol, cops have gotten away with murder and not lost their pensions. Pensions are only taken away from people with pussy jobs like scientists, accountants and school teachers.
You guys, he's just an emergency first responder person who gets squeamish looking at the blood stains of someone he doesn't know personally but happens to agree with, politically. I understand his reluctance. That intern kid who held her head together while they put Giffords into the ambulance must be made of ice water fer chrissakes.
When Texas secedes, can we get them to take Arizona with them?
(I realize there are some perfectly decent people from that state so we'll have to set up some sort of relocation program for the ones who want to stay decent.)
Some of these 'good old boy jobs' like fireman are horribly racist, sexists etc places to work at, what he should of done if what the above said is true is sue his squad mates in Federal court for civil rights violations.
This is the "logical" extension of the theory that if your beliefs conflict with your job, go with your beliefs.
Don't believe in abortion? Then your tax dollars shouldn't pay for them. Don't believe in birth control? Don't stock The Pill. Don't like gay folks - don't let them marry. That's what the right wing nutz tell us.
Of course, if somethings thinks the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq are a sorry idea, we can't object by not funding them.
...lately I have tried my best not to be as angry of a blakk man as I was before the whole wonkette remodel; but bull shyt like this brings out the old me! People like this deserve an entire fukkin subdivision built for them in the deepest darkest realms of hell(housing association and all). Before someone makes a decision as stupid as he did they should think of what they would say to to someones little kid if they died cuz he refused to help them because of their political views!
...turning 29 has taken a lot of the fight out of me! I'm considered middle aged by black male standards!!!
...you my friend are inspiring! Time to crank some "Rage Against the Machine"
Are bandoleers filled with blaster charges considered "traditional garb"?
Gag gift, indeed.
More proof that you can't spell crazy without AZ.
When the politicians are as paranoid for their lives as the last<br />rulers of Rome, we have done our jobs.
True dat...but back in the day I bet he would comfort himself thinking, &quot;these people will figure it out. I left some pretty clear guidelines. It will be alright.&quot;
Now he just says, &quot;what the fuck?&quot;
...does anyone know why my pants all of sudden feel tighter?
Teatard logic indeed, and as you show it results in homeschooling.
I thought Manly Buffed Jesus wept bullets, especially at his enemies?
