A tragic Kansas City street drug life allegation has garnered a surprising bit of attention and political disagreement.
Background:
Fox4: With 3 kids riding in backseat, Kansas City father, firefighter accused of injecting heroin, passing out
In aftermath of this sad story . . . Here's a quick list of blame circulating around this story:
- Some folks blame KCFD for that they believe is a lack of comprehensive drug testing policy
- Conservative Jack Cashill seems to think the Mexicans are responsible because they might have kidnapped this guy, taken money out of his pocket, paid for drugs, rolled up his sleeve and possibly injected him with heroin . . . Or some similar scenario wherein an alleged drug abuser has no culpability.
- While we're at it . . . Let's also blame U.S. drug companies for their part in the opioid epidemic despite the fact that Missouri residents still have to leave a sperm/egg sample if they want cold medicine that works.
Nevertheless . . .
SHAME ON SO-CALLED CONSERVATIVES WHO FAIL TO MENTION "PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY" AMID THESE TRAGIC HEROIN DAD ALLEGATIONS AND WOULD RATHER BLAME ANYONE BUT THE DUDE WHO CONFRONTS TRAGIC CHARGES!!!
Sadly . . . At least this episode brings to light that middle-class, white dudes charged with nasty deeds also endure the detrimental ENABLING from partisan well-wishers which unfortunately makes their road to recovery even harder and maybe overlooks the fact treatment, counseling and compassion are much more effective in coping with the topic of addiction rather than old school blame and rage that rarely understands the root cause of the problem.
You decide . . .
Good work KCFD. We want druggies fighting fires in our City
ReplyDeleteAnd Bruno was a bully..
ReplyDeleteDidn't fire just get huge pay raises? Overtime costs are out of control and they just keep screwing up. We need to find their drug testing process, bet it's in their contract.
ReplyDeleteDemocrat greedy KC Firefighters union slobs scam 200K/yr in overtime--
ReplyDeletesitting around the firehouse-- watching porn and shooting up drugs.
More dumb from Tony.
ReplyDeletewhere is Yeal when you need him ?
ReplyDeleteNo one needs Yael. Ever
ReplyDeleteThe police and fire department are always begging for money.
ReplyDeleteand the city gets poor performance in return.
I don't see any of you snowflakes who are complaining applying for these "cushy, over-paid jobs" you like to denigrate.
ReplyDeleteObviously you are so talented and skilled you could perform their job and not break a sweat.
Addiction is a horrible thing which respects nothing.
Remember a few years ago the Fire Captain who was arrested after having 25+ grams of powder cocaine in his possession? Case dismissed and no suspension from the FD because he hadn't met the three strikes rule they had regarding drug possession or use
ReplyDeleteYeah I always shoot up with my kids in the car.
ReplyDeleteIt sets a great example for a public servant.
If you'd shoot up with the kids in the car... you'll shoot up at work.
It's one of the reasons 911 is a joke in KCMO.
ReplyDeletelike who going to call to have a drug addict show up?
Tip of the iceberg for the FD. And management knows it.
ReplyDeleteYou know Kansas City makes national news a couple times a week it used to be Los Angeles or new York if you're a tourist you will think twice about visiting Hey God to Santa Monica you will have a better time California Girls
ReplyDeleteI was at the lake of the Ozarks and a lady ask where I was from I told her Kansas City and she said she would not visit KC,she see, the news and won't visit and she lives in Missouri
ReplyDeleteIf they can't care for their own children who's going to call them to put out a fire?
ReplyDeleteFD is a joke.
The real joke is the taxpayers will find his drug rehab and he'll be back to work. My 1% well spent.
ReplyDeleteSorry, but the Sentinel editorial was excellent!
ReplyDeleteThis douchebag's personal responsibility goes without saying.
He was making a very good point about the Star and TV media's bias to protect against any negative consequences resulting from Obama's open borders policy.
CLIMATE CHANGE CAUSED THIS! JUST ASK NANCY HARRY AND SCHUMER AND BY THE WAY CANT WAIT TO SEE THOSE LEAKERS IN PRISON
ReplyDeleteThere are a lot of hard working dedicated fireman running to help people everyday. Your idiots to lump all of them together with one bad guy.. every profession has bad people.. get rid of all teachers for a few bad all doctors.. priests football players.. this guy is screwed up no doubt. But put down all fireman policeman.. I bet you sit behind a desk and work regular hours helping only yourself.. get a clue people!
ReplyDeleteIt's called personal responsibility jackass.
ReplyDeleteOnly a dumb butt would defend a person drugging out with kids in the car.
No doubt that he fucked up big time...he's the one that will have to live with this and if you think he will be trusted at any atation in the city anytime soon you're sadly mistaken...there are 1200 plus employees on the KCFD and you never seem to hear about any of the good that gets done...he represents about.00083% of the job...bet you can't find those kind of numbers in many other job fields...only time anybody wants to hold us in high regard is when we die doing the job that none of you can or will...you can motherfuck us all you want and yet when the time comes that you do need us we will be there...doesn't matter how big of a douchebag you are we will respond...fires and emergencies don't give a fuck what kind of person you are...and neither do we....sometimes you don't get paid for what you do, but what you will do
ReplyDelete30 yrs doing what most of you won't
He's sorta cute. I'd blow him.
ReplyDelete30 yrs doing what most of you won't .... your right I went to college to help people in other ways... I'm a nurse. Have to spends years in college , student loans, and years in the hospital clinics to get there. Believe me, you see just about everything coming through that ER sliding door.
ReplyDeleteIF I WAS FORCED TO LIVE IN KILLA CITY. ID BE ON DRUGS TO
ReplyDeleteHey 121 I've been in fire stations in kc and didn't see any shooting up what I did see is a lot of very professional firefighters that are well respected by other fire departments around the country
ReplyDelete7:27-ONLY HERP DERPS AND REPUBTARDS POST IN ALL CAPS WITHOUT PUNCTUATION AND BY THE WAY CANT WAIT TO SEE ALL THOSE REPUBTARDS WHO CONSPIRED WITH RUSSIA IN PRISION
ReplyDeleteWhat we need to know is: Did the heroine come into this country via Mexicans?
ReplyDeleteI know this guy and it's a sad situation. Drug addiction is a horrible, horrible thing. I feel sorrow for those people who struggle with addiction and even more sorrow for those of us who can't do anything about it.
ReplyDeleteP.S. the fire dept does drug test and if people are so naive to think there aren't ways around that- I'd suggest you google "how to buy piss for a drug test."
