That's funny, I'd tell the homeowner where he could stuff his arrogant sense of entitlement and then ask him if he'd like to pay his $75 for the following year.
Way to be American :roll: Did you even read what happened? You have kids? Family pets? They DIED IN AGONY in a fire that could have been extinguished by your neighbors..... oh well. :shrug:
And those neighbors were trained at putting out fires AND they had the equipment.
So much for heros. So much for honor. So much for being a good American.
These "fire fighters" are criminals.
You arent entitled to services from a government that you did not pay taxes to.Soooooooo.......
what youre saying is if Fire fighters arent getting paid for what they want.... they let **** burn down?
Soooooooo.......
what youre saying is if Fire fighters arent getting paid for what they want.... they let **** burn down? And they arent couragous? Honerable? Heroes? That they are doing their job based on PAY? You know what there are more people in society that would have done more that these criminals (fire fighters) did!!!! They dont deserve to be in parades. They dont deserve respect.
Can YOU imagine NOT doing anything to help these people? I think those Fire Fighters are cowards and 100% dishonerable! I SPIT on their badge! I would have helped put the damn fire out and Im not even getting PAID!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :soap:soap:soap

someone, anyone must be to blame...except for the one guy whose fault it actually is. the cheap bastard who wouldn't pay $75/year to protect his house.
You lack understanding.
If these men (firefighters) had been at a barbeque across the street, off duty, not being paid by the city of South Fulton, and this fire broke out.... They would work their asses off to put that fire out.
As it stands, they were on city time, being paid by the city, and being told by the city that they will not put the fire out. Helping someone out is not worth disobeying policy and getting fired. Im sure Mr. Clive Jenkins or whatever the **** this dude's name was (homeowner) was not going to support those firefighters and their families until said firefighters managed to find a new job after the city of South Fulton fired them.
The person / people who decided it was a BAD IDEA to put out a house fire and let anyone burn and die is a criminal. A cop will stop someone that had 4 beers in a hour and have them treated liked a sex offender even if they havent had an accident... BUT firemen are NOT arrested / convicted of felony charges for refusing to help save lives????? To save property??? How hypocritical is THAT!?!??!
Absolutely 100% wrong.
If worse came to worse, they could have put out the blaze, and asked for the $75 later. Absolute bull****. Reflects badly on the firefighters.
I'm here to help my fellow man. I will help them whether I'm being paid or not (within reason).
what part of "the firemen could have lost their jobs and/or been sued if they put out the fire" do you people not understand? I will help my fellow man, but not if it puts my job or the security of my own family in danger.
That's the whole problem. The firefighters never should have been put in this situation.
what part of "the firemen could have lost their jobs and/or been sued if they put out the fire" do you people not understand?
Lots of cold hearted folks voted right
They were completely in the right for the exact reasons I laid out in the actual thread about this story.
...and so far, the only opposition I have seen comes from people who aren't bothering to read the facts.
