Averaging one a week
what's up with TAMPA FIRE RESCUE????? Average of once a week one of em goes down .... wow. That's a sick average for such a small KREWE. ALmost like a GANG. Yeah VERY VERY similar to a gang.
Notice how the local firefighters (EXCEPT FOR ONE WITH INTEGRITY) try to pretend he's 'not one of the firefighters'. LOL.
rats deserting a sinking ship.
another strangler.

TJ, homebound for a few days so I've just been "trolling" to see what's going on over here. remember when SPT had WAY more posting, but then they had the instant posting. THAT is why so many people have gone to TBO. that and better writing.

Folks, simply put, he is just a clerk - nothing more. In my city employees at the PD (civilian) put "officer" at the end of their title when they are NOT. Just an ego thing. Also, when the paper says "detention deputy", they simply mean "jail guard."

i love LOVE to see yall turn on each other like the rats YOU ARE. I BET he had firefighter shirts that said TFR didn't he? ummmhmmmm. And eventually he would have been hired. The brotherhood and it's rat cracks is funny. Firefighters do MUCH WORSE.

Ebay is America's fence. They should be scrutinized just like pawn shops are. By creating a marketplace for hot goods, these auction sites perpetuate theft, fraud, and burglary. Interstate sale of stolen property is rampant through Ebay.

He's not a firefighter. He's a warehouse guy.

Betty from Clw, Everyone hasn't gone over to TBO. TBO and Tribune, get their news from the Times and then report on it.

omg .. the shock of a fire person being arrested for theft. And this is the THIRD STRANGLER. It should be a prereq on the app: "strangling experience?" please list priors. check his record

Well at least he won't be double dipping!

Isn't this story like @ least 3 days old? you take away the instant comments, and then report old news. no wonder everyone has gone over to TBO

Sounds like the kind of guy that would rescue people's wallets, purses and jewlery from a burning house while ignoring it's occupants.

please look into other departments. recently, for example, a city solid waste guy was seen picking up tree limbs for a private tree removal company -- earning extra money using a city truck while on the city's dime

That's what we need, psychos running around impersonating EMT's. Imagine if rapist Fry had bought some of this stuff.
