I believe Town Council members can be held personally responsible, as well as the town itself, for NEGLECTING the needs of a community. It is called NEGLIGENT HOMICIDE, should people actually die.
These are the very real consequences of Plutocratic domination of a community. Every town service has a 'charge' for protection. That is outrageous. IT IS ALSO CORRUPTION !!!!!!!!!!
There needs to be an investigation to these incidents and find out why buildings are burning to the ground, including, the EFFECTIVE delivery of water to an emergency site.
Bush's America. Fend for yourself. It is Anti-American. I defy anyone to say otherwise.
I lived in a town that grew from 5000 to 10,000 people during the 12 years I grew up and attended school there. I recieved a free polio 'sugar cube' when I was a child in that town. I graduated from the public High School. Never once did we have paid fire departments. We had many of them. We had some of the best equipment in the county. Each section of this small town, of which there were about five, had their own fire department. Each department had at least two trucks.
The firefighters were great people. They ran their own fund raisers and where they might be running short the City Council appropriated assistance to them. They were completely volunteer firefighters and I don't believe I ever remember in those twelve years of hearing of a death due to a fire in a home. As a matter of fact the only home that completely burned to the ground was an abandoned structure that was determined to be empty and the police thought it would serve the community to allow it to burn in completion. It was dilapitated and was condemned. A lot of people turned out to see it burn while the fire departments protected the grounds and supervised the burn. Odd, I suppose. But, that sort of 'town knowledge' was common among people that were a sincere community.
Home burns to the ground in Pawnee County (click here)
Posted: 10/03/2010
Late Sunday afternoon firefighters responded to a house fire in rural Pawnee County near Cleveland.
It happened off of Old Keystone Road around 4 p.m.
A family of six live in the home.
No one was home at the time, and no one was hurt.
The house is a total loss and burned to the ground. There were no fire hydrants nearby. Three fire stations responded and assisted by bringing in water.
The family is staying with relatives.
Both these incidents are an outrage. They are dangerous examples of what a Plutocratic society holds for its citizens. We have spent billions, upon billions for a Homeland Security initiative that was 'coined' as a patriotic measure and THIS is the result. I don't think so.
I want investigations into both these incidents and I want justice for those victimized by PROFITEERS of Emergency Services. It is sort of like having an ambulance service that arrives on the scene of an accident after called by the Police only to have them demand payment before services.
IF WALL STREET can declare bankruptcy only to BEG for a 'bailout' than every other citizen that has their lives and livelihoods saved 'by the system' has a right to NOT be able to afford those services, especially IN AN ECONOMY abandoned by the banks that WE bailed out !!!!!!!!!
It do believe there is an element of danger and possibly criminal in both these cases.
PLUTOCRATS, laughing in the face of complete disaster. Jerks. Is there a better word? Feel free to use it.
