Watsonville is not too far from where I live and I know that a lot of police officers and firefighters live in mountain communities nearby that are serviced by volunteers. That police officer may have been a volunteer firefighter. I couldn't agree more about attacking through the blogosphere from the safety of mommy and daddy's basement, keep the poison to yourself.<br /><br />Everybody is emboldened when anonymous and online.

I watched the comments on that FB page and actually laughed because so many were outlandish and rediculous. At least on FB the folks could hide behind their names. <br /><br />Funny part is you don't see any sharpshooting in the Fire Engineering Training Community.....Wonder why, oh wait I'm pretty sure Ray McCormack, Bill Gustin, or any of the other FE Folks could out tactic Captain Anonymous any day.Jonah Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11749453681530896259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5691864575029802261.post-40454600620822041842012-05-01T16:57:28.095-04:002012-05-01T16:57:28.095-04:00Jonah, great post.

A while back Nate DeMarse from Brotherhood Instructors posted a video out of Hackensack on their Facebook page as an avenue to get some discussion going. The first couple commenters stuck to the rules and answered the questions Nate posted. From there on the Monday morning quarterbacking and tearing into the Hack brothers was on. It was disgusting. It was after that particular instance of watching us eat our own I decided never to comment again on a video unless I was pointing out the good that was contained in it. Leave the looking down the nose and nit-picking to the keyboard firefighters. The rest of us will keep on trying to help and support our brothers and sisters doing the job.Chris Sterrickerhttp://www.backwardsandstupid.comnoreply@blogger.com
