Violence 'becoming the norm' for Winnipeg firefighters on the job
Firefighters being hit in the face with a metal pole, punched in the stomach and threatened with death by a person who woke up from a possible overdose and pulled a knife on them are among the latest violent incidents the head of the union for firefighters in Winnipeg says highlight the need for legislative change to protect first responders.
"Unfortunately, this is just becoming a norm for us," said Nick Kasper, president of the United Fire Fighters of Winnipeg.
"You have enough of these near misses and eventually we're going to get to a situation where we have a serious but preventable outcome."
One recent incident came early Friday morning, when police say a man armed with a metal pole began hitting a fire engine responding to a call on Princess Street. After a crew member got out, he was confronted by the man, who struck the crew member with the pole. The first responder suffered minor injuries.
20 years ago in grade school I was told by a teacher that he brother wanted to be a firefighter but he was fit and trained and ready to go, only to be flipping burgers in his 30s because they were only hiring Women and Minorities. Her words. Essentially a quote, women and minorities. So I never became a firefighter, and Im a big guy. Thats the exact type of thing I should be doing.
Every time I see one of these stories it puts a smile on my face. Just hire some niggers! Send the niggers into the crackhouse fires! Let the niggers get bashed with poles by insane shitskins. Im not putting your fire out, and I hope you burn.
