'Unfireable' female firefighter to get unprecedented seventh chance to pass FDNY physical test

A female firefighter who has repeatedly failed the fitness test is being given an unprecedented seventh try.

Wendy Tapia, 34, was allowed to conditionally graduate from the FDNY's Randall's Island training academy in May 2013 - despite failing the required running test, New York Post reports.

Typically firefighters who fail the exam at the end of academy training don't graduate and are forced to re-take the entire course in the next academy class.

But Tapia, blaming a foot injury for her failure, was allowed to take it again not once, but five more times over the next six months.

So when she is hired into her unfireable position she can stand next to the Colored fireman, “TRAGIC JOHNSON”, who is afraid to fight fires but is also unfireable because of his color, so he just stands around while the qualified fire fighters fight the fires.

My big issue with PC and more so with feminism, it is really not about equality but power and getting position at the costs of others mainly men on average, true equality is meeting the same standard not different standards for different people, utter bollocks.

“Fire hos?”

If that’s not an adult movie title, it should be.

(I stole it)

There was this thread some time back regarding a fire chief (NYPD I think) who got in trouble for having hookers photographed with firefighting equipment.

Thats because of the libral mindset of loking at everyhing as zero sum systems. The only way someone gets ahead is because someone else loses. People, and life, are not like that. Their worldview is so effed up. They think because some losers screw people over or get ahead unfairly everyone who gets ahead must have done so. It makes it easy to paintal gun owners as criminals, for example.

“People, and life, are not like that.”

Well, sometimes they are. For instance, because of our economic circumstances, there are only so many American Dreams to be had, and the number is shrinking.

The only way a Mexican can get one is to steal it from an American.
