From Firehouse.com: Placing toilet paper imprinted with President Barack
Obama's face in a fire station has led to a fire fighter's termination
and he had until 5 p.m. Friday to turn in his badge.
It was Clint Pierce's third instance of posting political
paraphernalia on city property and a violation of a direct order to
cease and desist from such behavior, according to city records.
"It was clearly a case of insubordination," city spokeswoman Sandra
King said Friday. "He had a similar situation of posting political
messages on city property and he was given a free pass at that time and
told to cease and desist and he did it again and really exacerbated the
situation."
Expressions of political views that could be considered offensive or divisive don't belong on municipal property, the city says.
Pierce, 50, had been with the department since November 1993. Despite
two telephone message, he could not be reached for comment Friday. http://www.firehouse.com/news/10836513/obama-toilet-paper-leads-to-fla-firefighters-termination
I'm sorry, but at a firehouse, it used to be that you always joked about politics and other things and no one complained.
No, people are such wimps that they cannot take a joke. My guess, if this guy brought in George Bush toilet paper, nothing would have happened.
