planeflyer21 Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 Just made it up to identify those taking the science of being impaired to new levels. http://news.yahoo.com/fired-oregon-officer-alcoholism-disability-175551436.html My Mom, Aunt, and Grandfather were in a major carwreck in the late 1940s. He had his right leg amputated...twice...once below the knee and once above the knee. Mom's mangled leg was only saved by a Veteran surgeon well versed in the fairly new science of grafting. Both worked their asses off. His hobby was maintaining a HUGE garden...seriously large. Some of the "urban farming" projects I've seen aren't as big as his garden was...and he did it with a plastic leg or on crutches (his fancy wooden legs were for business or formal occasions). She raised three kids mostly on her own, working low-paying office jobs usually, having to elevate her legs after work daily. I know plenty of other people that have "made due" with physical and mental maimings over the years also. This whole "it isn't your fault your lame (choose your definition)" is really getting old. We need to bring back ass whipings, tar-and-featherings, and stocks. Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sketch Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 Im wondering how many times this guy broke the laws he inforces before he got busted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unforgiven Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 Only a fraction are actually caught. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planeflyer21 Posted April 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 I don't even care about that (much). That laws are set up so that he can break the law, then cry it isn't his fault due to a "disability" and SUE for wrongful termination is beyond words. :909: :whip2: Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
392heminut Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 Screw him! He had the option of getting a ride and chose to drive. Tarnish the badge like that and I have no sympathy for you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armed Eye Doc Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 (edited) That is crap. Similar to Jon, my grandfather had a leg cut off below the knee with a circular saw while working on a barn. He worked for another 10 years on his dairy farm before he retired at 75. I went out to help during the summer. He could outwork me with one good leg. There is too much poor, pitiful me in this country. Edited May 1, 2013 by Armed Eye Doc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EasyEJL Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/sideshow/miami-cop-fired-8-times-141430862.html And then you got this guy.Another blackeye for an honorable profession.WTF what kills me about him is that he was rehired by a different department after being fired for cause by one. I mean seriously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planeflyer21 Posted May 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 Fired eight times by three departments? Can't fix stupid. In Tucson, two city employees directed about $100,000 to their personal side businesses...so the city has fined them $5,000 each. What incentive is there to be honest?
