Embattled Atlanta Fire Chief Cochran Fired [Gay v. Christian]
CBS 46 (Atlanta) ^ | 1/6/15

Posted on 01/06/2015 5:22:21 PM PST by madprof98

City of Atlanta Fire Chief Kelvin Cochran has been fired, Mayor Kasim Reed announced in an afternoon press conference on Tuesday.

The announcemet comes after Cochran was suspended for one month without pay after reportedly publishing a paperback book with, what Reed called, "disturbing sentiments about the LGBT community."

Mayor Reed listed among the reasons motivating his decision the fact that Cochran wrote a book with inflammatory language without asking permission from him and that he spoke out during the investigation.

Reed stressed that this was not about Cochran's religious beliefs but about the judgment to publish a book that could open the City of Atlanta to lawsuits without discussing it with senior leadership.

Reed also asked people to stop calling his home and asking for Cochran to be reinstated. He said people have been calling him and calling him names, like "Antichrist."

Cochran did speak with the city's ethics advisor on multiple occasions about the book, Reed said. He added that she advised him not to publish it.

Fired for being someone who does not endorse sodomy.

How do you like that?

I suppose Moses, Jesus Christ, St. Paul, and a host of others would be fired by the mayor of Atlanta, too.

>> Reed also asked people to stop calling his home

By all means!

Say, does anyone happen to have that phone number I should stop calling? ;-)

The First Amendment is dead, at least in Atlanta.

And be sure not to put out the fire, should it happen to catch.

>> publish a book that could open the City of Atlanta to lawsuits

I don’t believe the Chief surrenders his 1st amendment rights (of free speech OR religion) because he works for the jackass Kasim Reed.

Maybe a lawsuit is in order... by the chief, against Reed and the city of Atlanta! Self-fulfilling prophecy!

“The announcemet comes after Cochran was suspended for one month without pay after reportedly publishing a paperback book with, what Reed called, “disturbing sentiments about the LGBT community.””

Interestingly enough I happen to own a paperback book that also contains “disturbing sentiments about the LGBT community.” I also own a leather bound edition of that same book with some of the lettering in red.

“disturbing sentiments about the LGBT community.”

So he was fired for his “Religious Beliefs” sounds like one hell of a lawsuit. Don’t forget to sue the Mayor personally for “deprivation of rights” in Federal Court, make the sodomite lover Homeless.

Amen and amen. I would like to add that all of us need to light the candle to dispel the darkness. By this I mean we have to pray for the enemies of faith, truth, and light, and not only for those who hold to Christian values.

Try to save what can be saved. But I have to believe that time is short.

Thanks. I bought a copy. They had no right to fire that guy. He should sue.
