And of course, we know which corrupt, sleazy, loathsome, low IQ, even lower T, and worthy of death party rules that city.

He was a firefighter for 30 years, and is just now becoming a chief, a chief of advanced age and very likely diminished physical abilities. This is even before considering his lack of thinking skills. Will he have to be voted out or “reassigned”? The man is a danger to the public while working as Chief.

Thus, DEI needs to D-I-E!

The people who hired him should be charged with criminal negligence. All DEI hiring that results in loss of life or property needs to be prosecuted.

Ever wonder why most of the police or fire chiefs/commissioners are almost always minority and often minority women?

No, most Blue cities have leftist women mayors who hire them.

And is culpable for accessory to manslaughter imo

Charge him
Prosecute him
Try him
Convict him
Jail him

This is old news, one look at the Chief’s eyes told me this guy looks dense as heck. In 30 years of fire service you learn quickly who above you might get you and your crew hurt or worse. The Chief’s actions showed a total lack of insight or leadership, I doubt he could answer an impressive number of questions concerning the NFPA, the six inch thick Encyclopedia of Fire Department information.

My first thought- Muslim. I couldn’t find anything about his religious affiliation on Google- not surprising, but there was a lawsuit over terminating a chaplain for his protected, free speech, so Muslim and/ or BLM, and racist. Why would he want to rescue little Christian, white girls? He wouldn’t. He would delight in seeing them all dead.

I read that the Austin fire department is still owed money from the state for other projects. Apparently that was his concern. Not much of an excuse. But it’s not like he did not understand the concept of getting reimbursed.

I hear from a first responder the Austin 911 has old crappy equipment but there is a city initiative and big spending coming, not to improve it but to “re brand” it, including a Muslim DEI hire to be the new boss.
