Food for thought!

You know all those threats from the paid firemen threatening harm to you and your family as well as other readers of yours.

Well this arrest of a paid Salisbury Fireman for assault and reckless endangerment proves that the paid firemen have a violent side to them. The culture of the Salisbury Fire Department, especially under the "leadership" of Rick Hoppes is nothing less than violent. Obviously this guy has a bad temper. Are these the people you want to trust with your elderly parents or young children?

Unfortunately this guy will get off and get to keep his job. When that happens the City of Salisbury is a liability. He might be a nice guy, but he is still a threat and puts the City in a bad position.

Has this guy been fired or put on suspension without pay?

This will get swept under the rug same as all the rest of illegal stuff in Salisbury.

You people need to get a life. This man has no criminal history. He works three jobs and is one of the finest people you'll ever meet. It's unfortunate that only one side of this story is being reported.

Why does any blog or newspaper post "paid firefighter" alleged assault? You never see the headlines read "paid tile layer" charged with assault. Why bring their careers in this? It is not the occupation in question, it's the person.

Have you ever seen a "volunteer tile layer?" If you don't know anything about the fire service then don't run your mouth. If you are a paid fireman then get over yourself.

It proves nothing - yet. After the Judge or Jury makes its decision all that may be proven is only one paid firemen can be violent. The uneducated Loons are flying again.

Someone needs to remind Gladwell that Hoppes and Tull are not cows. Those things he has in his hands and tugs on, from Hoppes and Tull, are not udders. Have some self respect. Boyz of Metro... Hahaha haha. More like Boi's with mouthfuls.

Why? They gonna take their toys home and not play?

If they can't take the heat when they do something wrong, don't do anything wrong. Or don't have the job.

Simpleton cops used to say the same thing. The same applies to them.

You don't want anyone to say anything when wrong is committed? Gee, where have we heard that before?

Oh, I know, the government.
