The bible? Really? LoL
20 minutes? The neighbors also asked for them to put out the fire.
Everyone deserves decency $75 is not a barometer for who should be treated decent and who should not.
Really. You can read the two parables at this link.
Makes you wonder why he didn't just pay the $75. That's less than $7 a month.
In addition, he went to the local FD and punched the Chief in the nose. How decent is that, considering he REFUSED TO PAY FOR THEIR SERVICE?
It's not about decency. It's about a city fire department extending service to rural residents who pay for the service. There is no county fire department for these rural residents so some of them asked the city to provide fire protection beyond its jurisdictional borders. The city FD came up with an agreement with the county that it would provide the fire protection service to those residents who paid a $75 fee for fire protection. The only way that the FD could legally provide this service and still be in compliance with its agreement with the county and in compliance with its liability insurance policies is to limit that service to those rural residents who paid the fee to subscribe to the service.

I agree with you. Unfortunately, Mr. Cranick disagrees. And since this is all about him, he gets to make that call about what is decent and what isn’t.
You would have given him the $75? So would I - if he asked. Even if he spent $75 a month on beer and cigaretts.
But would you/could you FORCE him to take the $75? It is - after all - his call, his choice.
Please don’t take away Mr. Cranick’s decency - his dignity by blaming the volunteer fire department.
