| Chicagoans shoot on fire truck, one firefighter injured | |
| 2017-07-31 | |
| CHICAGO (WLS) -- Firefighters who responded to a car crash on Chicago's South Side early Thursday morning wound up having to take cover after someone shot at their fire truck. Un-fucking-believable.
A person involved in the crash allegedly called a man to come to the scene. Police said that man grabbed a handgun from his car and started firing shots into a crowd. A bullet struck the windshield of Fire Engine 126 and at least one firefighter was cut by flying glass. | |

| #11 Not directly connected: Among HPD in Houston there's a story about a guy that Fire Dept ambulance picked up for transport at a domestic shooting off of MLK. Stretchered him, strapped him down, loaded him. His common law wife insisted on riding in the ambulance, and she was so funky both paramedics rode in the cab. He expired from 27 ice pick stabs on the way to the hospital. (He didn't have the stabs when he was loaded.) |

| #10 I hear he used to work in a comma factory. Nah, that's Thompson, but more of a drunken speech-to-text babbler. |

| #7 I thought that was good writing, number 2. Nonsense. That's Hemingway, who used to scrawl even more purple prose under other pseudonyms. He has as much experience as a firefighter as he does as a published author. |

| #6 It's not like Chicago has had any experience with not enough firefighters on site. Bad Luck(c). |

| #5 Nonsense. You mess with firefighters, they either get the police to watch their backs or they stay home. |

| #2 You mess with a fireman, you've messed with the unknown. These guys don't face the same scrutiny that the police are always under. They know how to start a fire just as well as put one out. How to use and ax to breakdown all your doors to "rescue you", and to put a hole in the roof to "ventilate your home", and to use miss-diagnose smoke inhalation with a heart attack and thus the unfortunate use of the defibrillator on the chest area. And they radio ahead to the ER doctor who knows these guys with the appropriate codes so he will know that whatever he does don't use a anesthesiologist on this one. And there ain't nutin you can do because you are strapped securely to the cot. |
