Disgusting.
"I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. "
Guess they forgot this part of Kings' speech.
Stay safe, Brothers.
Kill 'em all, let Allah sort 'em out. NEVER forget 9/11/01 WTC, Pentagon, Pa. Avenge the acts with NO mercy.
Thanks to ALL the Brothers who were there 9/11/01 and afterwards. Words can never say what appreciation we have for you all.

OMFG!!!
Ain't this the truth!!
As if the City of Chicago doesn't have enough money problems. Can you imagine one of these guys coming into your station as the "new guy" with 16 years of pension but not a day on the job?? Makes my stomach turn just thinking about it.

I was out there for Hertbie Johnson's funeral and was told a handful quit. Can't wait for the wonders to come on my job who can score a 25 or higher. God help us.

How are they being accepted and more importantly, how are they performing the job?
