Fire department lets man's house burn down!

It is rumored that the fire department members were blazing the song "In the club " with the following lyrics in repeat!

If the roof on fire, let the motherfucker burn
If you talking bout money homie, I ain't concerned.


but that is just rumors.

 

I wish them muthafuckas would let my shit burn down. I'd toss their ass back in my house and tell them to save my cds and vidya games and anime. If they die in the process, I'll remember them. Good enough.

 

In deciding not to put the fire out, the government avoided the costs associated with the water and labor intensive aspects of fire safety. This family, however, will surely require government assistance that will cost taxpayers money over the long run.

What a disgusting and asinine system.

This raises the question of what exactly justifies the formation of civil societies with structures of governance? When protecting your home from fire becomes subject to a subscription service like cable television, it subtracts legitimacy from the authority of the state.

What good is the state if it does not act when its citizens are in peril?

 

"I hadn't paid my $75 and that's what they want, $75, and they don't care how much it burned down," Gene Cranick told WPSD, an NBC affiliate in Kentucky. "I thought they'd come out and put it out, even if you hadn't paid your $75, but I was wrong."

Moral of the story? Stop being gangsta and pay your bills. If you can afford cd players and video games, you can afford a small annual fee, that goes towards the firefighters, who probably dont make much in Fuckville, Tennessee. And the last line by the guy...are you serious. You think they would come out, even if you didn't pay the fee? Why would they have a fee then?

he shouldnt be allowed to have his own place

 

So if there were humans -children, babies, inside needing rescuing...does the fire dept's policy become moot? Or do they stand and watch them burn to death.

The owner claims he offered the fire dept the $75 on the spot, but they declined it.

There's so many things wrong with this story...

Btw, the(former)home owner's brother was arrested when he went to the Fire Dept and assaulted the Chief over this. He is out on $3,000 bond.

Does every homeowner pay a 75 dollar fee or is this select?

 

That's what I was thinking

 

Everyone pays. That's why they came out to put the fire out for the other house.

 

Oh, ok. Wonder why dude didn't pay his shit. This kinda stuff should be automatically taken out of pay checks or something to shit like this doesn't happen.

 

Aren't you Greekness from MediaTakeOut?

 

I concur.

 

Don't firefighters have to take some oath or something that basically says that they will do their job, regardless of people can pay for whatever is needed to be paid to the fire department? Lives are often at risk when houses catch on fire.

 

Yup, He forgot to pay. They should probably Hire BA for mayor because this would have been an easy fix by doing it automatically.

 

That's an odd q. Um, should I be?? lol...

 

I'm not sure if all firefighters are required to take an oath like doctors or police officers, but their duties should be self-evident to anyone who performs the job.

Services that are indispensable to civil society should be taken care of, as you mentioned, with income taxes or some other means that bypasses having to prove that you paid your dues before your fucking house burns down.

I hope that family sues and takes the local and state government for millions.

 

My friend and I discussed this very thing last night. I suggested a property tax increase of $75 to encompass the fee, but my friend said that oftentimes townships don't include rural areas, and thus they'd be exempt from paying their PropTax fee.
Who knows.
The bottom line is there are many other ways to have obtained the $75 dollars to cover the FD's dues.
It just befuddles me (like Saty said) that they can equate a fee to the value of extinguishing burning HOMES.

 

I've seen someone on there use your same pics. Maybe its a celeb or something...

 

If someone had been trapped inside the burning house would they have acted?

What if there was a clerical error and they didn't correctly record who paid and who didn't. I don't see how this type of service can be administered this way. It's not a luxury service but rather basic necessity.

They just need to raise taxes by $75 and be done.

 

I think I'm on the firefighters side on this, if they only get there funding from this 75 dollars who are we to judge the situation against them? putting out the fire would have sent the message "don't pay your bill, we will still put the fire out" means more people not paying there 75 dollars, which I suppose means NO! fires getting put out.
Although I'm sure threat to life is the exception to the 75 dollar rule.

Although I must admit that it should be worked into some kind of tax, so that people have no choice in paying.
Here we have Council Tax which props up county Police, Fire Brigade as well as the usual council services.

 

yes but they could have offered to take the 75 dollars or even charged double the amount to put out the fire. That is for their funding.
