NYC firefighter, 36, dies of heart attack after being fired to pay for migrants — leaving his family with nothing

An FDNY firefighter has died of a heart attack just months after he was fired as part of the city’s effort to free up funds for its migrant crisis — leaving his grieving widow and kids struggling to keep a roof over their heads.

Floyd had been just shy of vesting additional medical benefits for his family and more than $600,000 worth of death benefits when he was booted, leaving his family with nothing despite his years of service.

[Bon of Babble]

"After Floyd was fired, he found a job with a nonprofit that helps veterans, but the pay was a fraction of what he made with the FDNY, the benefits were limited, and the hours prevented him from spending time with their kids, a 6-year-old boy and 2-year-old girl."

America and Americans LAST

Had enough yet, Americans?

Still voting Democrat?

Some seriously-bad optics for Hizzonor to have to deal with.

[Big Red Badger]

Wow...
That’s rough.

36. Heart attack? Em…

[wally_bert]

I doubt he would care.

Like most of the political class.

[Bon of Babble]

Yes. It appears he had a bad ticker, maybe due to mandatory vaxes, perhaps genetic.

He was placed on desk duty b/c he’d had a previous heart attack, and was working to get clearance to go back to the fire department:

“Floyd, a veteran who served three tours in the Middle East with the Marines... had suffered another heart attack in 2019 while he was in the Fire Academy.”

“Had enough yet, Americans?

Still voting Democrat?”

No and yes.

They are NOT “migrants”. They are illegal aliens, by definition criminals.

Only if someone throws it in his face, repeatedly. And this is where I hope the FDNY union steps up.

[SaveFerris]

Exactly - but they HAD to get rid of President Trump

The most-pro-America, most-pro-American-worker President since Ronald Reagan.

Because the idiots on the “news” and “The View” told them to

Idiots

When New Yorkers get disgusted with Democrat misrule sometimes they change their vote - to a different Democrat.

What a terrible story. This can not stand.

[brownsfan]

“When New Yorkers get disgusted with Democrat misrule sometimes they change their vote - to a different Democrat.”

Just like California. They’ve been conditioned to believe a vote for a Republican is the same as a vote for a Nazi.

They are NOT “migrants”. They are illegal aliens, by definition criminals.

Hence, they are, by definition, CRIMIGRANT INVADERS which must be repelled.

Three heart attacks. Hopefully Tunnels to Towers will take care of getting them a home to live in.

I remember Tunnels to Towers was one of Rush’s charities - he had the recipients on the air - grateful widows with kids who’d had their mortgages paid off, disabled veterans who’d had their homes retrofitted for wheel chairs, etc.

Glenn Beck also promotes this charity - but needs to have the recipients on as Rush did.
