it seems like it was a set up. the police lieutenant was one of the firefighters killed so maybe payback for getting arrested or something?

It's a terrible, shitty situation, but how the fuck do the actions of some random fucked up person reflect our country as a whole?

it reflects a loss of any sense of of community, togetherness, or trust.

So you're saying it's ok to judge an entire nation based on the actions of an individual? Give me a fucking break.


Anyway...I'll leave now. There is no need for arguments in a thread like this, even though that's what it will ultimately devolve into anyway.

As an aspiring Firefighter, this really pisses me off. The sad thing is, is that they would still run into a burning building or some other dangerous situation to save a fuck-bag like him.

pretty nasty to have something like that drawn out with the intentions of killing firemen, especially when those are people who are rushing there with the thoughts only of saving lives and helping others.

No I'm not saying to judge an entire nation based on the actions of an individual but you can't deny their is a sinister pattern forming, and to say it's just people going crazy without cause is ignorant.

But you're right about this not being a place for argument, sorry for continuing, my thoughts are with those affected.

Inb4 the NRA says "Firefighters should be equipped with a gun".

but thats the solution to everything. if people are getting shot somewhere, you just need to equipped everyone there with guns so that we have more fatal gunfights for good and protection and whatever.

Well thanks dude. Firefighters have always been to me the people in the civil service who I give the most repsect to for some reason. Just seems totally selfless.

Fuck this dude though.

Please let's not make this a thread about gun control. My cousin was one of the firemen and he's a true hero. I was really looking forward to seeing him for Christmas eve today so everybody here, get off newschoolers and go be happy with your family. That's what this time of year is all about.

Should have armed the firefighters, they need more stuff to carry. Not enough guns. Need more guns.

Not everyone wants the help...some people are hiding meth labs, grow ops or other weird shit. Then there are the people who burn shit down for insurance reasons or to cover shit up so they dont get caught and evidence of a crime is destroyed. A good friend of mine is a fite fighter and tells me all kinds of fucked up stories of crazy people. The worlds going to hell

Can you go ahead and quote my original post where I blamed the United States of America as a whole for shooting 4 firemen and killing 2?

You might have some difficulty with that, but thanks asshole

I guess the NRA would suggest having armed guards at all fires now.

Holy shit man come on... We get it, you don't like the NRA at all...

But let's be realistic here, the only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun, is a good guy with a gun. : )

This happened 5 minutes from where I work, which I am still working and was working at the time. Had to go on lockdown until the shooter was found. It's unreal that something would happen so close to home. Lots of my friends knew the younger firefighter. Tragedy.

That's right by me too, I'm in Canandaigua.
Awful incident but I'm not surprised at all that it happened in webster, I feel like Utica would be more likely though

Webster as a whole is a great town but overall it's a little bit seedier than some of the neighboring areas.

Dude killed his grandma back in 1981 with a hammer too. I guess they needed to make room for people possessing marijuana etc.
