The New York Fire Department goes full North Korean on dissidents
American Thinker ^ | 10 Mar, 2024 | Andrea Widburg

A state Attorney General is supposed to enforce the law impartially for the benefit of all citizens. However, New York’s AG, Letitia James, ran on an inherently political platform, vowing that she would destroy President Trump—and she’s tried to keep that promise. No wonder, then, that when she spoke at a Fire Department of New York (“FDNY”) promotion ceremony on Thursday, she got a political response from the assembled crowd: Boos. Now, the FDNY has gone full North Korean: Those who booed must turn themselves in for punishment and reeducation or be “hunted down.”

Part One of this saga is Letitia James’s 2018 campaign promise to destroy Donald Trump:

I believe that this president is incompetent. I believe that this president is ill-equipped to serve in the highest office of this land. And I believe that he is an embarrassment to all that we stand for. He should be charged with obstructing justice. I believe that the president of these United States can be indicted for criminal offenses and we would join with law enforcement and other attorneys general across this nation in removing this president from office.

SNIP

FDNY Chief of Department John Hodges fired off an email to other agency honchos warning a reckoning led by the department’s Bureau of Investigation and Trials was coming over the chorus of boos and chants of “Trump” that James received at Thursday’s event.

“BITS is investigating this, so they will figure out who the members are,” Hodges wrote FDNY chiefs Saturday in the letter obtained by The Post.

“I recommend they come forward. I have been told by the commissioner it will be better for them if they come forward and we don’t have to hunt them down,” he continued.

The FDNY chief better hope his fire fighters don’t go “Rooftop Korean” on him and the Ho.

Who are the Stalinist Nazis who are making these "punishment" decisions on Americans voicing their freedom of speech???

This is an example of why I don’t trust the “first responders “. If they truly took their oath seriously, they would all go on strike against the communists that control them.

The commissioner is some Bay Area female who has never had a day experience in firefighting or really anything besides being a political staffer female.

In the old days, the fireman’s union woulda come down hard on this. They wood be facing a strike.

If they went on strike, the communists would probably replace them with obedient Soy Bois.

"I have been told by the commissioner it will be better for them if they come forward and we don’t have to hunt them down"

Is that really the game they want to play? "Hunt them down" for booing? That can snowball pretty quickly, and NYC is still a pretty big city where a lot of things can happen.

TISH: I think you chose the wrong group to hound like you do President Trump.

I hope you NEVER HAVE A FIRE IN YOUR ABODE.

What are you going to do when your prey turns out to be a better hunter than you are?

She might get more respect if she did what her job is supposed to be instead of turning it into “The Office Of Anti Trump.” Until then she deserves no reverence in any public appearance.

The men of the FDNY are not warm and fuzzy progressive ideologues.

As Chuck Schumer warned Trump about the intel community ("They have 6 ways from Sunday for getting back at you."), the rank and file of the FDNY have a million ways of making the commissioner regret her threats.
