Firefighters speak on alleged hate crimes

HOUSTON (KTRK) -- Two female firefighters who found hateful messages written on the wall of their fire station are speaking out. They say they're scared and they want answers. A lot of raw emotions were on display Wednesday evening. Both of the firefighters have more than eight years experience with the department. They said they are living in fear and begging for some action.

On merit, I'd be inclined to believe the two female firefighters, but the fact that several liberal organizations have been so quick to jump on this - and to exploit it to try to kick the fire chief out - makes me wonder if this is a hoax.

If the story is true, then of course this kind of bigotry is absolutely inexcusable. Part of me feels guilty for being suspicious - but that suspicion is really the fault of liars and race baiters like Al Sharpton, Tawana Brawley, Jesse Jackson, and the slut in the Duke case. Because of their lies, people are suspicious even in cases where real discrimination may have occurred.

On a side note, for any Survivor fans, Councilwoman Jolanda Jones was a Survivor contestant.

The Obama thugocracy are now targeting white firefighters including Ricci who dared challenge AA.

Expect more of this.

This starts after eight years of service? That’s hard to believe. Now if they were rookies...

I don’t like posting replies where I can’t cite a reliable source but I’m almost sure I read somewhere that so-called “hate crimes” of this type are many times perpetrated by blacks and when they are exposed the guilty parties are never charged. My memory is not as good as it once was but I seem to recall that more than half of these crimes are bogus.
I’ll Google the subject and if I’m wrong I’ll post and say I’m wrong.

THese things are done by the “victims” 90% of the time

"We need some leadership -- firm, strong leadership right now. And we're not getting it," said Otis Jordan of the Houston Black Firefighters Association.

I think it's time the Houston White Firefighters Association spoke up as well.

Hate Crime Hoaxes

Claremont Hate Crime Called Hoax
LA Times (FR thread) | March 17. 2004 | Joy Buchanan, Kristina Sauerwein and Stuart Silverstein

A week after a reported campus hate crime drew national attention, sparked protests and shut down the prestigious Claremont Colleges, police on Wednesday called the incident a hoax staged by a professor who slashed tires, shattered windows and spray-painted racist graffiti on her own car.

Claremont McKenna College psychology professor Kerri Dunn, who had told police that her car was vandalized as she spoke at a March 9 forum on racism, was identified by two eyewitnesses as the person who damaged the auto, authorities said Wednesday.

Professor Kerri Dunn vandalized her own car and then led "Stop The Hate" rallies on campus.

So now the press has to find stuff like this in Houston, or the Swim Club nonsense in Phialdelphia...just to counter it.

Someone with access to their lockers (who would that be?) did stuff. Presumably they have locks on the lockers.

Sounds like someone is after the Chief's job (who would that be?).

Next, gay guy left hanging on barbedwire fence ~ firetruck found in nearby ditch.

I hate to think these women made up the story, but I also hate to think it’s true. And it doesn’t sound right.
