SFD Firefighter Makes Another Threat?

Anonymous J Pritchens, SFD 1 said...

"Hey Joe, how about you meet me somewhere in public and I'll readjust that attitude for you? No bullshit like you tricking Wayne Barrall into coming to your house, then you hiding and crying and pressing charges. Just you and me settling some scores? The winner gets this blog, which means your hobby is history.

How about it tough guy? You're so quick to call people pussies, let's see you man up. Not a threat, just an invitation to see how tough you really are. Then you can run to your favorite DWI & Handgun DA and see cry how a Salisbury firefighter beat your ass!"

How many of you wonder if Chief Webster, (SPD) will have this person arrested for making such threats? I guess he's only interested in arresting me and not the bad guys!

And what exactly would you charge him with? You are not a state official so whomever it is has not broken any laws.

Sounds like one of Salisbury's Finest. What a childish attitude just goes to show the lack of education their people have.

joe- i dont think this kind of threat is illegal under maryland law. just a one time letter from an unknown person isnt even harrassment at this point. i dont think any police agency in the state can arrest the guy for this.

Phil said...

I'll stand by you Joe. Tough guy cant leave his name, he's all talk.

If this is a real fireman from the Salisbury Fire Department making these threats then his future with the city should be addressed and handled accordingly.

Mr. Ireton, again are you reading this blog?? Do your job and clean house in that fire department!!

Oh yea i will call my sister she can handle Pritchens. All those hose beaters are wimps.

Given all the unfair crap you stir about the SFD, you brought this on yourself.

Threatening someone isn't a crime in the State Of Maryland.

Oh don't forget tonight is the Lavish Retirement Party for the wannabe Fire Chief David B. See. Thank God he is gone, now if we could just get rid of Hoppes and Gordy.

Typical response from one of the
SFD idiots. People like this make the whole dept. look bad.

uuuuuuooohhhhh! Big mean tough fireman! Intimidation tactics never work on certain people.
Joe Baby-We got your back.

This could cost you your job Pritchens. I read this as a threat
to Joe Albero. Can you flip burgers,
I hope so.

Nice languish..maybe you should be taught some manners instead of trying to re-adjust anybody, in any way!!!

I hope the SFD is proud of their new bada$$.

He represents them well.

Why don't you set it up and clean his clock?
Make sure it's in a very public venue though.

It's not illegal to make a threat joe. get over it.

It's not a threat, it's an invitation. It's akin to standing 100 yards away from someone and saying you're going to hit that person in the head with that brick. It's impossible unless you get a lot closer than 100 yards. Personally I think you need a good old fashion attitude adjustment. You like to think of yourself as a tough guy. Why not take up the good fire fighter on his offer. Maybe you can turn it into a non-celebrity boxing match and turn the proceeds over to charity. I'd put $20 down to help a worthy charity and see your ass kicked at the same time.

Your personal vendettas and personal attacks of everything and everyone that doesn't agree with you sure makes you the bad guy.

I think that if the previous poster has a legitimate response defending the use of "non profit" funds by the SFD to go fishing, he should state them. There is nothing wrong with going fishing but there is quite a bit wrong with using funds contributed to a Non-Profit organization to go fishing. Non-profit corporations can only use their funds for the purpose of keeping their corporation going. Fishing is not one of those activities. Pay raises isn't a legitimate use of income either.

Now, if you are a Public employee rather than a volunteer, additional restrictions are put upon you. This is the law and nobody should be above it.

That said, the public fully appreciates the service of our public employees.

dont sound like a threat to me just calling you out take it if you can dish it

Just another example of how weak some people are that have to resort to threats of violence against the opposition.

Humans certainly are a barbaric species.

J Gordy said...

Are you man enough Joe? That's the question.

Boy, Salisbury Fire fighters are real men. They need to come to New York and take a few lessons in professionalism and stop the boy-toy $#@%.

Topper said...

if you are scared to meet him face to face, just say so! If your scared say your scared.

SFD will not receive any donations from me with a fireman like Pritchens representing the Salisbury Fire Dept and using threats of violence. Sounds like a hot head who should be fired...but it might be hard to find him with no listed phone number and also not being listed on the Wicomico County property owners list.

Ronald George said...

Anybody who thinks making physical threats over the Internet makes them a man has a lot of growing up to do. Maybe after the pubes grow in, they get to kiss a few girls, and they figure out that 160HP with a tin foil spoiler doesn't really make their car fast they will become decent people.

Anonymous said...

Joe, why don't you just hook up with Hal and use the boxing gym to settle it out.

Doc Hook said...

To reiterate:
J Pritchens, SFD 1,
The last thing you do in a situation like this is represent your FD by threatening to assault a blog owner. Note how after you made your threat, not a single poster addressed it. The reason: it is a simple-minded animalistic response to lash out when your rhetorical skills fail you.
And do not threaten people. You never know who they really are until you pick a fight or back them in a corner. This from a three-deployment combat veteran - not a person who will cower from a firefighter.
Although if we could turn it into a charity event, we could see how the SFD misappropriates their share.

Anonymous said...

So what happens if Joe shows up? What exactly is it that you want to do? Beat his a$$ for uncovering and reporting the truth. Bottom line is SFD has been allowed to get away with too much for too long. At least one person has the balls to stand up and say enough is enough. If you guys were on the up and up you wouldn't have anything to worry about now would you.

An invitation to beat somebody's ass and cause physical harm? You people don't call that a threat? Make that statement to you boy Obama and see where it gets you.

If anything happens to Joe Albero this person and several others in the Salisbury Fire Department will be the first to be investigated.

This isn't a threat at all, sounds like a challenge to me. Take it or leave it. I think I know which one you will do.

Does anyone even know if this guy is a real fireman in Salisbury?

Retired Fart said...

Joe,
I would take him up on the offer. It sounds like the same line Jeremy Gordy uses all the time. Take one for our team and wear his ass out. He's full of it and cant defend himself. Thanks for exposing the recent adventures of the Gordy Fire Department.

Stand up to it Joe.

Hey Pritchens. In case Joe declines for reasons that are none of our business you wanna try me??? Now you have a challenge big mouth!!! Man up boy!!

Anonymous said...

4:32pm those people you mentioned are definitely moles for the the other blog. They worked very hard to get Comagys elected as mayor and tried their hardest to sling mud at Jim Ireton. I was at the station one afternoon and heard Gladwell and Hoppes talking about how it broke their hearts that Comegys lost the election. They are some sneaky characters.

Anonymous said...

I wll tell you this Anon 950: You're a damn liar. You've never heard me say anything about being broken hearted over Comegys winning or losing any election. That is utter BS and whomever you are, you know it. I stood for PEOPLE over EQUIPMENT and STILL do. Getting these "toys" as Mr. Comegys called them is fine. The Dept. needs equipment to do its job...but that's stuff the City HAS to give us to do our jobs. I really dont give a rats behind what the brand is or what color it is (although I feel fire engines should be red) or how much equipt. is on it or really how old it is as long as it works...it isnt a damn bit of good unless there are qualified people to run on it. I've said that openly to the membership and I've said it openly to the Chiefs and now I've said it openly on here. It is my feeling and I stand behind it. I am grateful for quality equipment for a change. Station 16 sat behind the other stations for some time...old building, old equipment. How many places run w/ fire engines that have nearly 100k miles on them?? None that I've ever been around. And just what would the City have done if the new engines hadnt been purchased as the two older ones (old 4 and 210) both died within a year of each other???

But you are an outright liar if you wish to make a statement stating I was upset about Comegys losing any election. Getting a new mayor AND a new Chief at the same basic time makes anyone "wonder" as to where the Dept. will go...but I had a direct face-to-face conversation w/ Mr Comegys the day the new station was dedicated and I told him exactly what I just stated here then as well.

Now, if you've got the courage, come knock on my door and say what youve just lied about to my face...I doubt I will ever find out who your cowardly self is b/c I know you dont have the balls to do so.

It's cowards just like you that attempt to kick his "friends" when he's down like I am at this moment w/ my wife/child in a bad way. Youre probably someone that I see on a regular basis and smiles at me and talks all friendly to me when you see me to my face yet are spineless to tell me what you really feel. Youre certainly entitled to your opinion of me and that is fine but you will not come on here and lie about me and not have me reprise. You really show your true colors and lack of manhood by making statement such as this that are outright lies.

Now...prove me wrong. You all have now heard it directly from me and my name is attached as proof.

Jim Gladwell
