If This Is True, Under the Definition of “Despicable”

…you’ll find his picture.

TUCSON, Ariz. – A veteran firefighter refused to respond to last month’s deadly shooting spree that left Rep. Gabrielle Giffords wounded because he had different political views than his colleagues and “did not want to be part of it,” according to internal city memos

You’ve willingly put that uniform on, asshole.

If someone’s in trouble, you’re part of it.

    He retired a few days later. They should cut his pension. I would if I ruled the world. Hell I’d take his pension from him completely. Vote for me.

    Frankly, it sounds like he was planning retirement, and was unwilling to enter any sort of dangerous situation.

    So, not only is he a s**thead, he’s an effing cowardly goldbrick.

    Short timer syndrome. Cut the hell out of his pension.

    Wow, lately there are an awful lot of assholes walking around unattached to the rest of a person. Can we get the Center for Disease Control on this?

    Dang. It smells a little of sensationalism, but if true. . . WTH, dude? Responding is optional in your job!?

    This man is a Rescue worker of 28 years service.

    I do not readily accept that he opted to not attend an emergency because of a difference of political philosophy with ONE of the possible victims.

    I’d be looking at Shell-Shock or somesuch.
