Does this explain it, MSM?
"Officials Puzzled by Firehouse Attack" by THOMAS J. LUECK
It was hardly a well-planned caper: Two off-duty firefighters bought a can of gasoline at a filling station, paying with a debit card registered to one of them. Before leaving, they stole a cigarette lighter. Then they drove two blocks to a Manhattan firehouse, doused its front door and lighted what fire marshals described yesterday as a large fireball that was quickly extinguished by other firefighters.
It was all captured on two surveillance cameras. No one was injured, and the fire caused only minor damage, officials said.
Fire officials said yesterday that they were baffled about what could have motivated the firefighters, neither of whom is assigned to the firehouse, at 440 West 38th Street.
Hatfield's and McCoys?
A fire official who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the case was under investigation:
“Our thinking is that it was intended more as a prank than something more serious.”
Not very funny!
While much about the case remains unclear, it is hardly the first involving improper, illegal or bizarre behavior by city firefighters inside or near firehouses. In a department whose members spend long hours sleeping and eating in shared, close quarters and cultivating brotherly relationships, personal feuds sometimes boil over.
But lighting a fire were someone can die?
Why don't they just punch them in the face instead?
Something is el-STINKO!
And experts say it is part of the firefighters’ creed — the willingness to run into a burning building to save a life — that a firehouse’s esprit de corps can occasionally be reinforced by banter, ridicule and adolescent foolishness.
Glenn Corbett, a professor of fire science at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice:
“The camaraderie is sometimes tinged with pranks and misbehavior. These guys call each other brothers, but it can be a double-edged sword.”
So some of the 9/11 heroes must have been happy those towers collapsed on their "brothers," huh?
When is the MSM going to stop shoveling shit then?
One of the most serious outbursts occurred on Dec. 31, 2003, in a Staten Island firehouse, where one firefighter threw a metal chair at a comrade, Robert Walsh, shattering facial bones and partly severing his nose.
That's a lot different than ARSON!!!!
In the aftermath of the attack, fire officials described a culture of taunts and razzing at the Staten Island firehouse — and at others across the city — that included homosexual slurs, vulgar jokes about people’s height or weight and other forms of humiliation.
You know, like ANY WORKPLACE!!!!!
But there are WORKPLACE FIRES EVERYDAY, right?
STINK!!!!!!
Maybe these two fellas should be questioned over there whereabouts last week.
Were they anywhere near California?
The complaint said a surveillance camera at a BP gas station at 38th Street and 10th Avenue recorded the two men entering at 2:15 a.m. Saturday, buying a red gasoline can and about a gallon of gas, and paying with Firefighter Capece’s debit card. They also took a blue cigarette lighter from the station without paying for it, the complaint said, but no theft charges have been filed.
But they won't be able to trace the purchase upon investigation, right, dumbfuck?
Whatsa matter, no cash?
NYC not PAYING ENOUGH?!
And NO CHARGES FILED?
STINK!!!!
The firefighters then drove away in a black sport utility vehicle, the complaint said, and were quickly picked up by another surveillance camera at a private parking lot on 38th Street between Ninth and 10th Avenues. That camera recorded the men stopping in front of the firehouse.
The complaint:
“A large fireball erupts in front of the firehouse, immediately after which the video shows both defendants running back to the black S.U.V. and leaving the scene.”
Thinking they made a clean get-away, right?
Gee, those CAMERAS sure came in handy, huh?
CUI BONO, readers, CUI BONO?
This "episode" STINKS!!!!!!!
STINKS to HIGH HEAVEN!!!!!!!!!!
