Firefighter Says Saving One Dog Is ‘More Important’ Than A Million Black People

[RavenSky]

Tyler Roysdon, a volunteer for Franklin Township, wrote that if he had to choose between saving a dog or a black man from a burning building, the dog would get priority, because “one dog is more important than a million n****rs.”

A woman who identified herself as Joei Frame Roysdon told WXIX-TV that she was Roysdon’s wife and said, “He admitted that he said things that were wrong and apologized.”

She added: “Everyone deserves a second chance and is also entitled to their own opinion.”

Well, i feel the sentiment, but I wouldn't be racist about it. Dogs in general are better than humans. I say save them first too.

Meanwhile, Ryan Grubbs, who works as a volunteer firefighter with Roysdon, said his colleague’s words go against the department’s core values.

“We don’t pick and choose who needs us, we just go,” Grubbs told WKEF-TV. “We’re volunteers, we’re doing this because we love the community.”

.
Mr Roysdon is suspended, and I hope the township tells him they no longer need his volunteer services.

Really, what a racist jackass.

Not other people's dogs, but I would save my dog before humans.

There's clearly something wrong with this person.

He's even more of a jackass by posting it on social media.

But don't call him racist. You will trigger all the conservatives and libertarians if you do that.

Remember: if you complain about racism in any way, that makes you the real racist, and if you point out that anyone is being racist, then you're an arrogant elitist who is persecuting white people.

He is the tip of a very big iceberg in the US.

Most are not as stupid as he is.

Better ask racists. He's one of theirs.

I loved this song.

It was the town that made America famous
The churches full and the kids all gone to hell
Six traffic lights and seven cops and all the streets kept clean
The supermarket and the drug store and the bars all doing well

They were the folks that made America famous
The local fire department stocked with shorthaired volunteers
And on Saturday night while America boozes
The fire department showed dirty movies
The lawyer and the grocer seeing their dreams
Come to life on the movie screens
While the plumber hopes that he won't be seen
As he tries to hide his fears and he wipes away his tears
But something's burning somewhere. Does anybody care?

We were the kids that made America famous
The kind of kids that long since drove our parents to despair
We were lazy long hairs dropping out, lost confused, and copping out
Convinced our futures were in doubt and trying not to care

We lived in the house that made America famous
It was a rundown slum, the shame of all the decent folks in town
We hippies and some welfare cases
Crowded families with coal black faces
Cramped inside some cracked old boards
The best that we all could afford
But still too nice for the rich landlord
To tear it down, and we could hear the sound
Of something burning somewhere. Is anybody there?




We all lived the life that made America famous
The cops would make a point to shadow us around our town
And we "love children" put a swastika on the bright red firehouse door
America, the beautiful, it makes a body proud

And then came the night that made America famous
Was it carelessness or someone's sick idea of a joke?
In the tinderbox trap that we hippies lived in, someone struck a spark
At first I thought I was dreaming
Then I saw the first flames gleaming
And heard the sound of children screaming
Coming through the smoke. That's when the horror broke

Something's burning somewhere. Does anybody care?

It was the fire that made America famous
The sirens wailed and the firemen stumbled sleepy from their homes
And the plumber yelled: "Come on let's go!"
But they saw what was burning and said: "Take it slow
Let 'em sweat a little, they'll never know
And besides, we just cleaned the chrome."
Said the plumber: "Then I'm going alone."

He rolled on up in the fire truck
And raised the ladder to the ledge
Where me and my girl and a couple of kids
Were clinging like bats to the edge
We staggered to salvation
Collapsed on the street
And I never thought that a fat man's face
Would ever look so sweet



I shook his hand in the scene that made America famous
And a smile from the heart that made America great
We spent the rest of that night in the home of a man I'd never known before
It's funny when you get that close, it's kind of hard to hate

I went to sleep with the hope that made America famous
I had the kind of a dream that maybe they're still trying to teach in school
Of the America that made America famous... and
Of the people who just might understand
That how together, yes we can
Create a country better than
The one we have made of this land
We have a choice to make each man
Who dares to dream, reaching out his hand
A prophet or just a crazy God damn
Dreamer of a fool - yes a crazy fool

There's something burning somewhere
Does anybody care?
Is anybody there?
Is anybody there?

Yes, he is. But one does see more of this kind of racist shit out of smaller insular communities, its just that social media doesn't leave it within those small borders. Franklin is about 5,000 people and 93% white and only 2% black. With the alt-right rants of the last decade, and now FFvC, some of these creeps are feeling far too empowered within their twisted white sniveling about their own failings...I see a much milder version of this within my redneck in-laws on social media. As stupid as they are, they aren't this stupid.

To think that almost 40 years ago, several of us all white teenagers made it quite clear to a new girl that had moved to our western city from the American south, that using the word n*r was not acceptable; and that was just 4-5 of us in a car.

Wow, you found a racist. In a country of 300 million people, that must have been damn near impossible.

But don't call him a racist, you might trigger a seer to go under with ptsd.

 

[Elixir]

I am just as bad as he is, if not worse. I'd sooner save a dog than a million racists like him...

Wow, Raven's post really did trigger you. I hope at your next GOP meeting you can be made to feel better.

Your selective big picture minimizations do you no credit. Its interesting how this attitude isn't forthcoming from you with regards to Muslim immigrants.

You haven't asked my attitude on that, so therefore it hasn't been forthcoming.

I didn't need to. Your attitudes are pretty well established, as are those of most of us for that matter.

In that case I'd love to hear what my attitudes are on this? I'm sure to find out something new.

Fixed it for you.

LordKiran is offering to tell me what it is I believe. I have reason to suspect my response will be "I never knew I believed that." So this is important.

I didn't offer you anything of the sort. With that said I'll admit I spent the last hour sifting through old posts and you're definitely not one for saying much. Not as common a participant as others and you typically stick to a narrow selection of topics, such that I couldn't find any trace of the attitude I had ascribed to you. Now this could be because I am an admittedly poor researcher so if anyone else can point to something feel free, I'll take being right after-the-fact. Otherwise I apologize for mis-attributing a position to you which I cannot prove you've made.
