A family friend of the teen Trump supporter wearing a red Trump for president t-shirt who was seen in video shown nationwide fleeing and being tackled by a terror mob of anti-Trump rioters told The Gateway Pundit that San Jose firefighters refused to help the terrorized teenage boy when he ran up to their firetruck. The source says the firefighters “rolled their window up when he asked for help at the fire truck.” Video taken by a bystander shows the fleeing teen approaching a firetruck and then being left in the street to the mob as the firetruck drove away.
Before the boy fled the mob he had been beaten and his hat stolen according to a witness who posted photos to 4chan. The witness sickeningly described the teen’s attempt to get help from the San Jose firetruck as ‘funny.

This means war.
“Do you know the way to San Jose?”...no. Sounds like a terrible place to visit.
a dime to dollar Scott Pelley of CBS NEWS will NOT be covering this one.
He loves his shaggy dog stories too much before he signs off.
They are firefighters and have an obligation to their own safety.
That is their training.
Nothing is done unless the cops themselves are attacked.
San Jose is Detroit with palm trees. You couldn’t pay me to visit that Dem snake pit.
The negro who attacked him was identified by Freepers. Has he been arrested? If not why not?
If that is standard training for firefighters to drive away when a child is being attacked by a mob, I would say that we the taxpayers need to demand some changes in the way firefighters are trained and redefine just what their responsibilities are!
When the Heyward fault slips and levels the Bay area - I’m gonna laugh at their misery. No donations to charity for them, no help, no sympathy. The exceptions will be to possibly help a couple of families I know there directly.
If that is offensive to some so be it.
it is war. for now pepper spray and batons.
I am so sick and tired of the jack-boot licking - now must we have galoshes-licking snivelers as well!
Hero’s huh?
Its not about their training. It's about their personal integrity. It's about their humanity.
They are cowards, and a disgrace.
And you're a scary guy.
Not in SJ. No heroes there. Just villains. I hate that I have family there.
So if they are on a call and they pull up to a burning house with a Trump for President poster on the front lawn, will they keep driving ?
Funny you should mention that you have family there. I have in-laws in very nearby Santa Cruz. They are over 60 and went to Berkley college in the 70s and they are HUGE Greatful Dead fans. They’ve probably been to more than a 100 dead concerts over the years and were at the very last one last year (without Garcia of course). They’re deadheads through and through.
With all that you’d think they’d be very liberal hippies and loopy leftists but they’re actually center right these days and vote R. Even hippie brainwashed leftists grow up once they’ve lived a while and seen what the world is all about. They’re great people and I’m crazy about them.
I believe a similar concern came up during the rodney king riots.
iirc, firefighters are trained not to rescue people if they are themselves put at significant danger. as a simple example, they are trained not to rush into a collapsing building that still has live people in it, because injury to the firefighters themselves adds to the burden of firefighters’ duty to save others, ultimately making the problem larger, not smaller. also, firefighters are not trained for riot control. they are trained to fight fires and rescue people from situations like car accidents. the salient distinction is that fires and car accidents are not antagonistic to firefighters. if firefighters were trained to handle riots, then they would be issued guns to protett themselves from rioters, and it is my impression that they are not issued guns.
in the rodney king riots, iirc, the consensus was that firefighters should always be accompanied by police. that way, the police can handle the rioters, as they are trained to handle crowd situations, while protecting the firefighters and innocent riot victims that the firefighters would be trying to save in such cases.
if we apply that logic to the san jose trump protest riot, then the problem could be redefined as the firefighters having been left by the police without adequate protection to be effecitve, and being forced to flee from the riot rather than deliver aid to the teenage victim.
if so, then imho this becomes yet another blot on san jose’s already miserable record, and another problem that san jose needs to acknowledge, address, and fix.
someone who knows firefighter riot situation protocol well may be able to comment/correct.
Training be damned! Who could close a door on a kid like that? I’m sure they’d make an exception if it were their own child, huh?
