From: A Citizen's Objection To An LODD Firefighter's Funeral Procession

[JFLYNN 681]

This guy sounds like some snotty rich businessman who missed an appointment. Most FD's contact the media and make people aware of this event. This guy most likely never spent a second thinking about doing volunteer work let alone being a fireman, policeman or EMS worker.

I also can't see how someone can compare the work of a GARBAGE man to the work of a firefighter, police man or EMS worker. This guy goes to work dangerously hanging off the back of trucks picking up garbage. we emergency service guys go out to protect the public day in and day out. We risk catching diseases, getting assaulted or shot, getting burned, and possibly dying to protect you the public.

This guy needs to be woken up maybe when he drives home drunk gets in an accident kills someone and gets seriously injured himself or a family member falls sick and help is provided by "one of those public service employees who tie up traffic" He might think again about the people who help him everyday.

It's people like him that make you want to hold up all traffic for even the minor accidents not just to piss him off but to make sure no emergency personnel are killed, which would cause us to have a long funeral procession.

Just my 5 cents of thought (you know inflation)
