You might hurt his feelings <sarcasm off>

Exactly what was he able to find offensive in the words "these colors don't run"?

I think there's a fire or two in Afghanistan that would be more to his liking.

Exactly.The civil service exam score is only the first step, after that comes a background check then a fairly tough physical fitness test,
to see if your afraid of high places, strong enough to set a ladder,etc, then an interview.
He most likely messed up somewhere. Also, there are usually over a hundred times more applicants than positions available.

You said it. This is not a holy war.

Where in hell do these nut jobs keep coming from?
To: The Magical Mischief Tour
At least this is causing the crap to float to the surface. Now all we have to do is flush them.

300 fireman die heroically and this SOB tears down a poster put up to honor them.
Does anyone believe he would ever go into a burning building to help someone else?
To: Bubba_Leroy
Miller said there are eight minority firefighters in the department including Banks, although he may be the only Muslim. Banks joined the department on April 29, 1997, three years after he was passed over by applicants who scored lower on a civil service exam. A judge ruled Banks proved racial discrimination, and the city settled the case by hiring him, paying $150,000 in retroactive pay and covering his legal expenses. Can anyone say this man was passed over because of his race - other than a Judge.

One of his comrades in the stationhouse ought to 'accidentally' jam a thumb in that dude's eye.
To: TheHound
And now they are too scared of getting sued again to fire him. Notice that one day after getting suspended he already has an attorney making statements for him to the press.
