Firefighter Refused Call To Giffords Shooting Because of ‘Political Views’

Congratulations to former Tucson city firefighter Mark Ekstrum, a 28-year veteran who retired last month as the world’s worst firefighter.He’s officially the world’s worst firefighter. Why? He said "he had different political views than his colleagues and "did not want to be part of it." Yeah, if a group of people are shot, and your job is to save people’s lives, you shouldn’t be a part of it. Shooting victims should be very careful not to be political in any way, because if they are, they shouldn’t expect any first responders to show up.

Seems like perhaps somebody was just a little afraid to go to a shooting. But knowing Arizona, he probably shouldn’t be surprised if a person angered by this story shows up on his doorstep and shoots him in approximately five minutes. Because most Arizonans aren’t cowards. Just this guy and John McCain.
