A Rhode Island city official called the city’s firefighters “terrorists” and compared them to ISIS for putting an American flag on their firetruck. The firefighters say they have been told to remove the flag by city officials.
A local NBC affiliate obtained audio of Central Coventry Fire District Chairman Fred Gralinski making the comparison at a board meeting.
“They look like a bunch of yahoos,” Gralinski said. “Like in the paper, like ISIS in Syria going to take over a city. I don’t think they need that big flag on the back of the truck. That’s not America to me. Those are a bunch of terrorists. So, I’m going to ask you to take the flag off that truck.”

Down the rabbit hole we go.
Is this for real?
I can understand a local politician saying something this stupid. But a guy whose family came from Poland? He must have changed his name when he married into a Polish family. This is so embarrassing.
Refuse to respond to any Fire Alarms at the Rhode Island City Yaahoo’s residence or workolace.
He said that last year, according to a news report:
“Gralinski now said through a district spokesman he used a poor choice of words and apologizes for an perceived disrespect of the flag.
But he also said they’re not telling firefighters to take the flags or decals off the trucks.
There is, though, a new policy.
“All that has to happen is for someone that wants to put a sticker or decal on the first truck to go to the board and ask for permission,” Gregg Perry, who is the spokesman for the fire district, said.
Better to be rid of Fred Gralinski than that flag.
Right on ONY. Good post.
Makes perfect sense. Any love we have for this country has to be eroded away, so that we can be subsumed into the NAU, followed by a world controller telling us how many sheets of tp we can use to wipe our asses.
Those firefighters just didn’t know any better.
Unbelievable that in Owebowmao’s Amerika the American flag is offensive.
Maybe it is believable.......
Hey Fred Gralinski :
Go into New York and tell the FDNY that it is “un-American” and they are “terrorists” for having the Stars and Stripes waving from their trucks...
Go on....Go tell ‘em, you chickensh*t piece of crap....
Perhaps Gralinski should identify those whom he believes would be terrorized by the sight of an American flag.
“Better to be rid of Fred Gralinski than that flag.”
Amen! I’m so tired of the acceptance of disrespect for our Flag. imho, rather than being ‘free speech’, burning or intentional stepping on our Flag should be prosecuted. Anyone who is offended by our Flag is free to leave the country.....and all benefits they receive.
Throw him into a van, and when he wakes up on a sidewalk in Chalkstone Avenue, he’s wearing a blonde wig, a pink tutu, pockets full of embarrassing photos...and a huge Old Glory tattooed across his forehead ;)
This guy looks like a doofus.
Another “pajama boy”....
In California the fireman were told to remove the flag by the like of Dianne Feinstein and Nancy Pelosi and their types shortly after 9/11 saying it was a fire hazard.
