“I can’t answer how that warehouse slipped through the cracks and that it bypassed our system — or how it bypassed the city’s system,” Deloach Reed told CNN. “But everybody is at the table right now trying to figure out what happened.”


It happened because you were an affirmative action hire and totally unqualified to hold your position.

The question they should be asking is...
How many more Ghost Ship fire traps are out there?
Bet there are at least ten if not 100 scattered
throughout the area.

*GASP*

You can’t hold AA hires to task! They are blameless and innocent, even after proven guilty and/or incompetent!

Check out 0bama for a HUGE point of reference. ;)

The literal money quote....

“We have been pushing (Deloach Reed) every month to make the hires and do the inspections,” said union Vice President Zac Unger. “I don’t know where the money that the City Council budgeted for those positions ended up.”

Anyone else notice how this story is being swept under the rug? How the bureaucracies are finger-pointing and not giving a damn about the victims? If was a multi-million dollar business or corporation, they’d be sued into oblivion.

And she said something like, “Now’s not the time to point fingers.”
Well, it kinda is...

Even fire departments are now PC. Here in Atlanta, our very competent AND BLACK fire chief was fired for being a Christian. The “community” reaction: nada, zilch, crickets.

Probably quite true, take a look:

Chief Reed has received many awards during her professional career, including the NAACP Henry Gage Senior “Excellence in Leadership” Award, the IABPFF Black Chief Officers Committee “Metro Lifetime Achievement” Award and the Martin Luther King Association’s “Public Safety and Service” Award.

She holds an Associate in General Education Degree from Evergreen Valley College, a Bachelor of Science Degree in Organizational Leadership from Mountain State University and holds a Masters Degree in Public Administration from National University.

Chief Reed serves on the Black Chief Officers Committee of the International Association of Black Professional Firefighters on the California Fire Chiefs’ Cultural Diversity Committee and is an active member of the International Association of Fire Chiefs.

She sho’ is heavy on the Black this and the Black that! The funny thing is, fire doesn’t check to see what color you are before it burns you to death!

All I noticed from the numerous press conferences is that there sure are a lot of women in traditionally men’s positions. Since it is CA, I detect a bit of affirmative action going on here?
