    Kudos to the chief who ACTED like a chief & cancelled all of their childish, bigoted asses. Gotta love it when someone named ‘Perez thinks he’s entitled to mock black people. It’s very common & very fukked up.

      Right??? It’s a shame that I’m absolutely flabbergasted that a person in a position of authority recognized a wrong, acknowledged the wrong, and took appropriate action. I honestly expected the story to end with a half-assed non-statement and a picture of the person in charge going ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

      Seriously, I’m more confused by the chief taking responsibility than the fucking noose.

      I had a green card holding Guatemalan co-worker who one day just straight up said, “...Mexicans to Guatemalans are like Black people are to White people.” And I just had to go away. Like, I’m white, I’m used to people sharing their racist thoughts with me because they think I’m on board (it’s way too common), but this guy managed to offer up double racism that blew my mind. It was like he was doing a SAT racist-analogy section in person.

      If you can’t handle that most of our co-workers are Mexican, don’t bring that to me, the only white guy, as if we’re gonna bond over it. I don’t need intersectional racism in my life lol.

      Anyway, all that to say, don’t let “Perez” fool you. Not all POC are on the same page.

    Matthew Reilly, Kerop Berberian, Geandy Perez and Austin Sovay, not exactly names the Klan would’ve accepted in 1951.

      Seriously though, what type of name is Kerop? I don’t think I’ve ever heard it before.

    These fucking soulless whites are insatiable. They can never let us just be.

    How can one go through life with so much hate in their hearts? And then their white women just lap it up and keep reproducing with them.

    Racism and slavery were the most ingenious systems ever created; the hate lives on and on.

    I’ll never be able to understand the mentality of someone who would categorize this as a “joke”.

      It is simply the mentality of someone who has been caught and lacks the character to take responsibility for their actions.

    “I heard the word ‘joke’ a lot and I said, ‘Explain the joke to me, explain how this is funny,’” Jurgle said. “They haven’t been able to do that.”

    They always pull the “joke” card when they get caught.

    Sovay insisted on Wednesday, “It wasn’t a noose. It was a fishing knot.”

    The closest fishing knot this could be is an end loop, but I’m not getting the “joke” as this isn’t fishing line and they weren’t fishing.

      This is the question I’d like to pose to the bunch of merry pranksters.

      “Lets just say we all believe you idiots, and that it indeed was just a fishing knot. What was the joke?!? I mean, is Green obsessed with bass fishing or something? I’m no prude, I can enjoy the occasional off color joke (minus the noose of course). So please tell me, please explain what was so funny about a fishing knot?!? Answer... there’s nothing funny about a knot!”. Their explaination just doesn’t make sense. Even an 8 year old child would know this explaination just doesn’t pass the sniff test.

      Eta...I enjoy watching Judge Judy. I hate most of her political an social views. But she can offer up great advice sometimes. One gem is “if it doesn’t make sense, then it’s a lie”. And this whole “It was really just a fishing knot” is just a line of bullshit.

    We’re not even full time firefighters yet, but we will let you know what we think about you and show you all our racism right here, right now. And, as Darmok states, those last names give me a pause... before disgust sets in.

    Let’s hope those who resigned aren’t allowed back in after a year or so.

    It’s “funny” if you’re a manchild who never graduated past Opie & Anthony.

    This wasn’t humor, it was an attempt to make someone uncomfortable under the guise of humor.

      Exactly! Let’s say it really was a just a fishing knot(which it obviously isn’t). They couldn’t even explain what was supposed to be so fucking funny about a gotdamn fishing knot? Like I said in another post, maybe Green was a bass fishing sports enthusiast?

    Goddamnit Florida. This pisses me off. ESPECIALLY as fire fighters. My Polish grandfather was the fire chief in his city in the 40's and 50's and 60's and he faced an uphill battle a LOT of times. He actively recruited the first black fireman for his station and brought in a few more over his tenure, but constantly, CONSTANTLY was facing down their discrimination as well as attacks against his person and his family. He drove our or fired several firemen because of that shit, and he was really ostracized for this over his career. He was politically forced out several times when new mayors of the city were elected, and every single time he was demoted and rose back to chief because of his character and personality. To read this shit happening today is no surprise, but it is beyond disappointing and disgusting. Fuck these guys, maybe they can go home now that they’re unemployed and jack off to pictures of their hero Trump and their goddess Kellyanne Conway. WTF America, come on, we need to start getting some balls and lets take on these racist fucks, throw them a blanket party, guys!

    Boy, it would be funny if someone entered their homes and left a noose on their pillows in their bedrooms. That would be an awesome, hilarious joke.

    I’m just glad the firefighter that the victim showed the picture to and the chief have acted to defend the victim. I can’t process what would be funny about this. “Oh haha, this is what we used to hang your ancestors with, got ya!”. You don’t do that to people. To top it off, these guys are supposed to be trusted with each other’s lives, and they joke about hanging him? I hope this shit follows them wherever they go.
