the FDNY hires 9 FELONS to boost diversity (un-fucking-believable)
[link to nypost.com]



NYC is fucking done........give it to the savages white people it's time to move out of new york shitty.

The newly-minted class of FDNY probationary firefighters includes an unprecedented nine rookie Bravest with felony convictions, including one who did jail time for gun possession, insiders told The Post.

The nine ex-felons, all minorities, were among 295 probies who graduated from the Fire Academy on Nov. 2, as critics charge the FDNY has loosened hiring standards to diversify its ranks.

One of the nine, a black 32-year-old who joined the city as an EMT in 2012, served more than a year in the Nassau County Correctional Center after two 2005 convictions for carrying loaded guns.

At age 20, he was busted twice in Long Island — once after a cop found a .38-caliber revolver in a car he was riding in, and again with a 9mm pistol in his car’s seat-back pocket. He pled guilty to two counts of criminal weapon possession, one a felony.

Five years later, a 2009 probation report said cops described the ex-felon as “‘not a bad kid,’ but one who associated with known gang members.” He admitted he’d been friendly with gang members, but denied ever being a member himself.

At that time, he was living with his fiancee’ and their newborn baby while supporting another child. “He shows signs of maturity and responsibility,” the probation report said. He held jobs, volunteered for a local fire department and took EMT classes.

In 2007 and 2010, however, Nassau County judges refused to grant him a “certificate of relief from disabilities,” which lifts an automatic bar against employment of people with one felony. The reasons cited: He had failed to cooperate in an investigation and to keep probation appointments.............CONTINUED

Dude...not as bad as California. This last summer, our pansy ass mayor began a work program for felons.

They pretty much get a six month paying job with the city. Only qualification...you have to be a felon.

I would imagine, that given a spot of Trust; the right individual, with the right spirit....despite a questionable history can excel -

A "record" should only follow someone for a while. Time can change quite a bit in a person's perspective.

they will join all the other criminals the FDNY employees (cokeheads, thieves, wife beaters, and scam artists)

lets not forget that the FBI vouchered an entire FDNY engine truck packed full of stolen jeans and other clothes on 9/11/01

lots of cops also reported that during the 9/11 recovery they witnessed FDNY members stealing cash from registers of abandon stores and lots of jewelry.

the firefighters in NYC are straight up thieves and scumbags

the FDNY hijacked 9/11 as their own personal tragedy and basked in the countries applause at what "brave heroes" they were

nobody mentions they ignored 3 different mayday calls to exit the towers at least 5 minutes before they collapsed.

the FDNY are the lowest of the low IMO

USA has imprisoned more of its population than any country in the world.
Having a felony on your record does not mean what it used to.
Jailing people for smoking a joint does not make that person un-employable....

USA laws are set to make 50% of us felons....

Im glad NYC is giving people a chance in life...people that have done their time should not endure a life sentence of predjudice.

Once someone has served their time, they should be given a second chance. If not, all Hope is lost and no hope does not make for a healthy society. I say, congratulations to them for a fresh start! Wish exfelons had more chances. In Texas, exfelons are not allowed to even be plumbers or cosmeticians.

Same in Detroit, the fire fighters stay in the firehouse all day talking about their giant retirements they will get after playing poker and screwing hookers for 20 years in the firehouse. I am not being sarcastic as I know one of them; the whole retirement system for gov jobs is broken.

Why do they all have to be minorities though?

There aren't any white felons who deserve a second chance?

Or better yet, how about they hire the most qualified cadidate for the job?

New York is a piece of dog shit. One of the filthiest places in the US.

Seriously?

Being a fireman is a great job with great pay and great benefits.

When there are job openings, people apply by the hundreds, in many cases thousands.

This is purely political, leftist liberal bullshit.

I am finding more and more that in this upside down world, it is the so called criminals that are the good guys and the people in positions of authority doing the most harm to the innocent.
