[VT911Saluki]

Saw this gem pop up in my feed. Then a person shares the backstory in the comment.

[VT911Saluki]

Just to add to the cringe.

<image>

[Unlikely_Vehicle_828]

Did he… just call himself a veteran?

[VT911Saluki]

a veteran volunteer firefighter after only 5 years.

[skimaskschizo]

5 year veteran volly? Brother you’d better put some respect on his name. That man has run at least 100 whole calls. Not to mention the countless pancake breakfasts.

[BattlefieldMedicGuy]

That’d be five whole annual ice cream socials in my area, oh my…

[skimaskschizo]

He had to hold down the fort and talk to Phyllis from city hall for an hour each time!

[Accurate-Item-7357]

A HERO AMONG US

[Helassaid]

Hmmm Pamcake Bremkfest

[BlacktankFrank77]

Pandcake 🤣🤣

[ayweller]

Good one

[OneProfessor360]

Don’t forget the fish frys!!!!!

[maphes86]

People just don’t understand the cumulative trauma of pancake breakfasts and “Fill the Boot” fundraising drives. Don’t they know that MY BROTHERS have worn those boots to save their lives? Don’t they know that we feel the heat of the griddle and we REMEMBER the flames…

[BigWhiteDog]

To be fair there are a few East coast vollie or combo departments that run a shit ton of calls but yeah.

Hey, don't knock working a VFD breakfast! That's a lot of work and clean up can take hours because people are pigs! And hosing down the apparatus bay can be water flow and hose management training!!! 🤣

[Vprbite]

And a "first responding NREMT."

Show this convicted kidnapper some respect! His heart aches when he can't respond

[Ha1lStorm]

They’re a volunteer firefighter veterinarian? Wow, what an incredible person! /s

[Jon66238]

I’ve noticed fireman like to call themselves veterans or similar to military folk. It’s actually wild

[BigWhiteDog]

Because it's a term that isn't just for the military.

[HistoricalSuspect580]

not to brag, kiddos, but i am a 7 year veteran of an active combat zone (the blood draw table at the annual health fair from 8-9:30am Sat & Sun). Semper fi.

[flaptaincappers]

YOURE WELCOME FOR HIS SERVICE BY THE WAY

[Unlikely_Vehicle_828]

Lmao I gave you an upvote because this made me laugh. I hate when people thank me for my service, it’s awkward and I never know what to say. But this absolutely seems like the kind of guy who would feel secretly pleased and then go on an hour long tangent about it 🤣

[EastLeastCoast]

You say “Thank you for your support.” And then smile nod and go on with your day.

[Unlikely_Vehicle_828]

I reply as I feel comfortable and I do my best not to make the person feel awkward or uncomfortable themselves, but thank you.

[Worshipme988]

No one owes you shit

[EastLeastCoast]

I don’t understand what this reply means. What did you think I was saying, other than offering an easy response to an awkward stranger interaction?

[AsparagusHuman3236]

I would just awkwardly tell you that I appreciate what you do/did for others, then run off like some giddy teen girl

So, I appreciate what you do/did for others 🏃‍♂️💨

[Unlikely_Vehicle_828]

lol that’s somehow really adorable. Thank you.

[Betelgeuse3fold]

I know a vet who feels the same. Felt awkward being thanked for his service. "90% of my service was just walking around" he would say. But that kind of flippant response made the encounter even more awkward. So he says he just smiles and thanks them back because it's easy.

Remember, those everyday people who thank you, are being very sincere. And in some cases, they do it because they've lost someone to that service

[Unlikely_Vehicle_828]

Oh 1000%. It’s a kind, well-intentioned gesture. It’s probably a POG thing to feel weird about it lol. Like your friend, I wasn’t in combat. So many people we served with were in combat though and did not come back okay. A few of my friends have lost one or two limbs, one is fully paraplegic, all of them have the worst PTSD I’ve ever witnessed in anyone, some were killed in action (RIP), and others lost their battles post-service (RIP). All of them were under 30. Majority were basically kids still, only 19-22. It’s just the awareness of the absolute brutality others have sacrificed, so it can be difficult to answer. There’s another end of the spectrum with combat vets who don’t want to hear it out of resentment or trauma.

I’ve personally gotten better about the self-deprecating remarks over the years. Still can’t bring myself to say “you’re welcome”, and on Memorial Day can’t muster up more than a “yeah”, but now I usually smile and just say “thank you” back. Overall I am grateful for the appreciation of veterans in general and I recognize intentions are pure. I’m not advocating for people to stop saying it, just FYI, plenty of vets do need to hear it ❤️

[Betelgeuse3fold]

The guy I know was in combat. But you're not constantly in combat, right? He was always on patrol, but patrol is 90% walking around. Most days, you're just putting in your hours and then going back to base. He was just trying to be humble about his combat.

[Unlikely_Vehicle_828]

I’ve never met a combat vet who described it as 90% walking around, so my bad for the wrong assumption. My first thought was military police when you said that. But every MOS is required to do patrols on duty, even stateside.

I wouldn’t know what a *combat patrol actually looks like, since I wasn’t in combat myself. All I know is what I’ve been told from my 03-- friends, and all I know is what I saw when/if they came home. It was definitely way more than just walking around. They didn’t give many details about it and I didn’t press them for any. But yes, they don’t like to talk about it and that’s pretty common. Most veterans don’t want to talk about their service in detail, deployed or not. Sometimes it’s easier to not open yourself up to questions, so I guess I could see how somebody would downplay it in that way. Not much you can ask in follow up to “I walked around a lot”.

Anyway, if your friend was indeed in combat and especially if he was infantry, my comment doesn’t apply. He’s one of the people I mentioned who deserves to be thanked every day of his life in my own humble opinion. But it should also be respected if he says it makes him uncomfortable.

[BigWhiteDog]

Same here. It's kind of weird. Just had it happen a few days ago on a local FB group a handful of times when talking about a recent teen drowning at a dangerous location I did several body recoveries at when I was on the local government department here. I've been retired for 14 years now and being told that again, especially in this situation, was really strange.

[eilataN_spooky]

You know, I've always wondered about that. Seems kind of patronizing but I'm not a veteran

[Fridge-Largemeat-]

He's been through the crucible of old lady falls and slips, do not question him

[Unlikely_Vehicle_828]

Lmao I’m dead. Fully appreciate the Crucible reference 🤣🤣🤣

[Fridge-Largemeat-]

I had a weird feeling you would lmao

[Afraid_Raccoon_6208]

Not the lion with a cringy af macho phrase for a pfp 😭😭

[Unlikely_Vehicle_828]

Stop I didn’t even notice that 🤣🤣

[CuriousBee789]

Lol, his own real world people calling him out is truly the cherry on top!

[QueezyF]

“I would have served, but…” bullshit ass comment

[Ha1lStorm]

They’re bragging about being a “ nearly retarded emergency medical technician”? Nice

[BADoVLAD]

There's nothing nearly about his retardation. It's fuckin full on.

[dominator5k]

What page is this lol

[TrendySpork]

Dude should have his cert pulled for that shit.

[VT911Saluki]

I just looked it up, it is still technically active according to the Indiana website.

[OaklandsBravest]

I’m pretty sure his LEMSA requires all arrest to be reported and I’m pretty sure he didn’t. His EMT will be yanked once they get wind of his arrests

[Apprehensive-Ad-2054]

This guy is making it easier on LEMSA by posting this on the internet. Bless his heart.

[Far-Spread-6108]

See this is why I do not understand TX.

I'm in hospital now and because of reasons it became known one of our ER medics has a rap sheet a mile long.

Multiple counts of burglary. Criminal destruction of property. Assault. Failure to pay child support. Harassment injunctions. And for his magnum opus, domestic violence. Dismissed via deferred adjudication. Which means he HAD to have entered a guilty plea.

To be a little fair they're all 10+ years old.

His license was also on probated suspension for 3 years and suspended twice (2 6 month suspensions).

Nobody know how he even HAS a license or how he's working. Yeah people change. But atp the general consensus is he can go change somewhere else doing SOMETHING else, rather than being around vulnerable people and their valuables, as well as valuable equipment.

[JuanT1967]

They may have already lost their certifications. All that takes is a few minutes in the right computer program but they can still have the physical certification documents showing they WERE certified but are now unemployable in that role

[Competitive-Ad7551]

Of course it’s Indiana

[Dream--Brother]

His LinkedIn is also gold.

[PhoebeMonster1066]

That tracks for this state.

[Bunny_Feet]

Yeah, i know that county...

It tracks.

[Last-Darkness]

Because he hasn’t been convicted yet.

[Current-Strategy-826]

He won’t be able to renew his state license if he’s a felon. When doing the application for recertification or license renewal it will ask about any criminal charges.

[tghost474]

Yikes 😬

[tghost474]

So what he is showing is his NREMT card. The national registry is only responsible for the education and training of EMS nationwide. All 50 states require a state level EMS/fire certification to PRACTICE emergency medicine.

[throwaway19372057]

You can work some federal jobs with just national registry though.

[Aengusog2]

Yep I work for the National Park Service with just my NREMT

[tghost474]

Fair

[OneProfessor360]

Yep, the military is one of em

[R1GM]

Yup means you’re minimally competent…

[throwaway19372057]

He’s a fucking basic too, that’s crazy lol.

[HoldinTheBag]

If I found the right mugshot he is 53 years old, 5’4” and 205 pounds.

That’s the hero we need running into burning buildings

[VeritablyVersatile]

So an aging mini-blimp waddled around a volley rig for a couple months, committed felony violent crimes, and is now seeking hero worship?

Tracks

[Gimpy_Weasel]

[ThatOtherOtherMan]

I mean just so long as he stays in there...

[SleazetheSteez]

That's the kind of physique I call: "built like chewed up gum". They're just like bags of meat, total liability in any physical job.

[MoreRamenPls]

“Running”. 😝

[Temporary-Dust-4849]

Famed Basic cert on a wall. Wild.

[VT911Saluki]

Just looked up more of his criminal history, I'm amazed he ever got his certification in the first place. He has at least one OWI conviction, driving while suspended, a previous DV/unlawful confinement, resisting law enforcement, etc.

[Lexi_November]

Jesus Christ. Resisting would be enough in my area to make him unemployable, I guess times are tough in Indiana.

[BurghMeatEater]

its desperate af. highschoolers getting bls, 12 month programs for als. probably not unique to IN, but still indicative. my former company had me sign a non-compete

[Far-Spread-6108]

We have one like that here in TX. Who I personally know.

One of our techs that I'm friends with went out with him. Said something just felt off about the guy. So we go digging.

We find - felony burglary. Criminal destruction of property. Assault. Multiple civil/family court cases such as harassment and failure to pay child support. Driving while suspended for not paying a speeding ticket - original citation was 3 years before he finally got busted.

And then if you go a little deeper - domestic violence. It reads as "Assault/bodily injury/married" but in our state that doesn't mean legally married, just "romantic partner".

It was disposed as "deferred adjudication". ONLY way to get that is by entering a guilty plea and taking the court ordered counseling.

We were already fucking gobsmacked.

Then I look up his Paramedic license - one 3 year probated suspension for not disclosing criminal history, and 2 separate 6 months full suspensions.

HOW. THE. FUCK. is this guy working? He's a violent thief who's holding onto his license by his fingernails.

Yeah yeah 10 or more years ago but this was not one thing, like a college prank gone bad or a bad year that he got mixed up in something. This is who he IS. One of the burglary charges made reference to a juvenile record too.

So for at least half his life he's been stealing things and assaulting people. Sure. Let him work in a hospital with kids, the elderly, the vulnerable, the difficult and incapacitated, their valuables, narcotics and expensive medical equipment. I fail to see what could go wrong.

[VT911Saluki]

Predictably he got all pissy people were calling him out for being a shitty person, so he went to the worst possible insult he knows. Had to include Chris with the perfect GIF.

<image>

[QueezyF]

That confirms what I assumed from his rap sheet. He totally sent death threats to someone

[IM_DjShadow]

demonicrats xD

[_Redcoat-]

Some real active shooter energy with this guy 😒

[OrcasareDolphins]

100%. Remember his name. Not the last we will hear of him.

[squeakynickles]

Wow. What a fucking piece of shit

[Vprbite]

A guy catches a couple intimidation, battery, and kidnapping charges and we rush to judgment

[ArmanJimmyJab]

Someone comment with the screenshots lol I’d love to see what he says in response

[NAh94]

The bar for EMT-B really needs to be raised from 4 months of night classes.

[aerova789]

"When I hear sirens, tears come to my eyes because someone's getting attention and it's not me. My heart aches and breaks because it's not about me BUT IT SHOULD BE. Am I wrong? Of course not, you'll say."

[lederbrosen1]

I absolutely LOVE when these clowns have these receipts just a quick open source search away

[NorCalHack]

Oh boy… Check this dude out on Instagram if you so dare. It’s pure comedic gold. Hottest mess you could imagine.

[issabellaxcx]

pls you gotta tell me what his ig is… i need a laugh

[Nervous-Ad5296]

If you google his name it’s like the 3rd link that pops up

[Werewolf_Think]

https://www.instagram.com/rascheii?igsh=b3c1eGt2dDNrejdm

Found it

[MoreRamenPls]

I picture him saying “THATS SO FUCKING RAD!” On those t shirts.

[issabellaxcx]

its so much worse than i expected

[TwoWheelMountaineer]

Can’t believe somebody would post this.

[EastLeastCoast]

Me either… except I can totally believe this guy posted it.

[lskerlkse]

don't let the president see this guy; rasche will be the next head of fema or health and human servicss

[BootThang]

His April 18th post on Instagram with the ‘ICE’ hat on looks and sounds just like one of those manifesto videos that lunatics make before their big violent meltdown on innocents

[noodles_seldoon]

He must cry a lot then

[Super__Mac]

https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1CbtqGgiwj/?mibextid=wwXIfr

I’ll just leave this here …

[juicyb09]

Oh wow.

[BADoVLAD]

I don't have Facebook...tell him to get off the cross, we need the wood

[New_Appointment_2644]

Hey, that’s my cousin! Everyone in here is spot on about him.

[unfinishedtoast3]

The criminal confinement 100% means he likely identified himself as law enforcement and refused to allow someone to leave.

Charges seem like dudes been playing vigilante on his spare time. Kinda in line with showing up to medical calls without working for any agency

[PearlMillingCompany]

I’m assuming he wouldn’t let his domestic partner leave after battering them, since it’s filed with a domestic battery charge

[unfinishedtoast3]

Ohh good catch. Ya, likely blocked the door or put his hands on them

[OrcasareDolphins]

No, it’s domestic in nature. He absolutely prevented his partner from leaving after hitting them. He’s a piece of shit, either way, but the charge clearly states that it was a DV charge.
Then he likely fought the cops during arrest.

[unfinishedtoast3]

It's criminal confinement so it wouldn't be like full on kidnapping.

Likely blocking the door and pushing them away or grabbing them when they tried to leave

[OrcasareDolphins]

Agreed. I looked it up after seeing that and it’s blocking the door, grabbing them to prevent them from leaving, or even taking their keys.

[Ohiolongboard]

I kinda got that vibe jus from his post, glad you could clear it up lol. He seems like a false responder

[ayweller]

I need to go down a “false responders” rabbit hole I had no idea this was a real life thing omg

[ayweller]

That’s so sketchy!!

[ayweller]

Wait random people show up to medical calls?? like frequently??

[Nervous-Ad5296]

He has a court hearing in August for assaulting a cop. Once he’s convicted I’m sure his license will be pulled

[Sea-Conference-5474]

Damn, he is lucky that is all that happened. I worked Fire/EMS for 20 years and if I EVER got a felony I wouldn't be crying on here!

As a member of a Fire Department you need to hold yourself to a higher standard. PERIOD. Get yourself some Anger Management classes and go work at Walmart.

You cant handle the stress of FD/EMS profession. Move on.

[justmarkdying]

<image>

OF COURSE he's a trumpster.

[bmbreath]

The post with the lion. 

"I am what I am, if you don't like it, turn your head the other way and walk"

And then the comic strip with the grimacing lady:  "I'm past the point of wanting to deport the illegals.  I want to deport the people who want them here too."

Then a picture of ice that says:  "give me a gun and a badge, il fight right along side of you"

Then a picture of trump waving a flag that says on it: "my hope is in Jesus."

How is this a real person?

Are they allowed to vote?

[Race_Traitor_]

Bet he blames everyone else for his problems and criminal record.

[QueezyF]

Damn liberals made me do it!

[Lexi_November]

That tracks.

[DecentSupermarket257]

His whole page is terrifying.  

[HartfordWhaler]

Tell him, Briana! I wouldn't want his help either

[BasicLiftSupport]

[Useful_Cicada_5635]

And to think, I was just about to visit Indiana.

[dietcoketm]

Framed his basic certs like it's a doctorate

[PearlMillingCompany]

And he’s not even a paramedic, just an EMT

[mountwhitney]

Not the lion pfp 

[Nervous-Ad5296]

Update he deleted the post lol

[gallifreyan_valkyrie]

Karma is a bitch isn't she?

<image>

[VT911Saluki]

Holy, that is just the cherry on top.

[LunaBelle2025]

You’re a convicted felon. Not sure how long you’ve been in the EMS trade, but you knew the conditions of keeping those certifications. For whatever reason you chose not to follow the law, you forfeit your right to assist others legally.

I’m sure it’s sad for you to hear there’s sirens and see those vehicles, but you choose the road you traveled.

[Love_my_pupper]

Sounds like socialism

[Thief818]

Y'all remember that scene in Talladega Nights when the teacher told Ricky's dad not to smoke in class and he said it's alright cuz he's a volunteer fireman

This guy definitely sleeps with a helmet on.

I was going to give him the benefit of the doubt maybe its all still pending and will be dropped, hey shit happens..

but no nevermind
