With what authority does this mysterious described speak? The mob is advancing and it has to be stopped one damned way or another...

Just looked at the wiki link describing the Proud Boys, and what a load of shite that is. It also says they ban homosexuals, but the Proud Boys website they accept them, and the whole wiki article sounds like it was written by the SPLC

The funny thing is, when I initially heard of the "Proud Boys" my first thought was they were a homosexual organization. Back in the day, the queers were always talking about "pride" and "boys".

I think they could have picked a better name for their group.

We sure think along the same doubtful way!:

Well, this might be one way to shove a professional FD down taxpayers’ throats....

So, “official thought and speech”, as opposed to free speech, creeps gradually by “social” means into law.

Right here on this site we've been warning about the thought police for decades.

They're here and entrenched now.

The fire company is accused of “not addressing “ their member’s membership in Proud Boys.

They DID address it. They decided that being associated with Proud Boys was not an impediment to being a good firefighter. They are being disbanded for not deciding the “correct” way.

"according to the SPLC, good grief they themselves are a hate group"

I despise the MSM.

This story was clearly vetted if not written by the SPLC.

Instead of asking the guy or interviewing an actual "Proud Boy", they just wrote a story about what the SPLC "thinks" or feels about this group.

$hit reporting by a $hit writer.

Also note that ALL the fire fighters of the company supported the defamed member...

Not surprising - Haverford is home of Haverford College, or probably University by now, one of the Holy Three small very liberal colleges in the Philly suburbs - Swarthmore and Bryn Mawr being the other two - the towns in which they’re housed attract loads of ultra liberal professor types along with other “intellectual” types you’d expect to find in a college setting - kind of surprising they’d support any fire company at all - there must be something somewhere in the leftwing orthodoxy about fires being a wholesome and beneficial part of nature and not to be messed with by man......

Excellent post and spot-on analysis.

For the benefit of non-Pennsylvania or New Jersey FReepers, which is most of you: Pennsylvania counties are subdivided into many dozen smaller entities called Townships and Boroughs.

Each of these municipalities is required by State law, on an annual basis, to pass a resolution stating which Fire Company(ies) may provide coverage and which Police department will do likewise. Similarly for EMS.

A municipality can decertify a fire company from responding at any time for any reason. With most Townships governed by three Supervisors, you can alienate one and get a way with it. Alienate two and you’re done.

“Commonwealth” government has a lot of weaknesses and very few strengths.

I hope that the house of the town manager burns down, killing his family, because that is the only way these PC leftist assholes are ever going to learn a lesson about the consequences of their stupidity/actions.

Harsh? Yes. Undeserving for any innocent family member to be injured or killed? Yes. But these clowns are endangering the whole township to spite the single fireman (somebody make the town manager/council become firefighters in their places. See how many homes and lives will be lost if that happens.) Democrats “talk”, “first responders act”.

That is the different.

Let the Leftists suffer from their stupidity, blind-hatred, and Political Correctness. That is the ONLY WAY they will ever learn, if at all.

Yes indeed, that is Sapphire. One of my Dad's favorite expressions was "Holy mackrel, Sapphire!". Sapphire was played by the talented actress Ernestine Wade, who played Sapphire both on the radio and on TV.

Sapphire and Kingfish

“Mystic Knights of the Sea” with Kingfish and crew?

Sounds hilarious. And I’m sure that lady with the umbrella figured into the mayhem. Breaking up a gentlemen’s drinking club, mayhaps?

500 hungry lawyers probably live in the neighborhood. It is upscale.
