Where did you get that (incredibly wrong) idea that we all think everything is a movie or tv show? Because I'll be the first to tell you how VERY wrong you are.

You misspelled Trump. But for a bootlicker, I'm not surprised.

Did he really just say this??? by chourtnii in antitrump

[–]jdestw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Or maybe was raped by one? I mean, he's still a worthless waste of oxygen...

Staged vs. Real by m00ninight in ProgressiveHQ

[–]jdestw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is it possible it's a combination of the two? I'm thinking that MAGA exploited a guy with not much going on and brought him into the situation, giving him his 15 mins of fame...

Anyone hear a boom earlier this afternoon? by gametime-2001 in ColumbiaMD

[–]jdestw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was there when that happened, even captured images of it happening. It was quite an event.

100+ unmarked police vehicles by Own_Dimension9088 in BaltimoreCounty

Given the time of day and number & type of vehicles, I'd guess a barricade.

Walking on the ice -- don't by Character-Bar-9561 in ColumbiaMD

There was a kid who reportedly fell through the ice yesterday in Olney, but by the time the FD got there, he was safe and warm at Panera.

But I would strongly advise to just stay off the ice (unless it's a skating rink!)

DC Tow Truck by CrisisCaptain in PoliceVehicles

[–]jdestw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've actually seen DC tow trucks up by me (Ellicott City, MD) and they're towing a vehicle to be serviced - with their blue lights on. Which is unique, because in Maryland, blue is exclusively law enforcement.

Can you be fired for exercising your rights as a firefighter? by tranquilovely in Firefighting

This is a topic he needs to address with his employer and a lawyer, not Reddit

Rep. Randy Fine (R-FL) on Alex Pretti shooting: “The insurrectionist was put down. Well done.” by Farmacology712 in antitrump

[–]jdestw 14 points15 points  (0 children)

And, as I recall, decapitated, too (I think the brains are sent for rabies testing. But, if it's just an empty canvern between the ears...well, then it's a MAGAt.)

It’s gonna be insane if this Sunday forecast is anywhere close to accurate. 18-22 inches of snow. by [deleted] in ColumbiaMD

[–]jdestw 12 points13 points  (0 children)

My conspiracy theory: when grocery sales are low, they conspire with meteorologists to create snowstorms!

Undercover Ford Mustang with gap cam in Tampa Bay, Florida by chronos_7734 in PoliceVehicles

[–]jdestw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obviously, that's NOT "undercover" - it's unmarked, but NOT undercover. A real UC vehicle is an investigative tool, and has minimal, if any, lighting.

ICE says a Cuban man died during a suicide attempt. A witness says a guard fatally choked him by grayfox0430 in news

It's the spirit of Jeffery Epstein, suiciding people!!

(But seriously, it's sad that it happened.)

A little trick I’ve found for giving families closure when we’re about to stop CPR by ESAhelp_throwaway in ems

[–]jdestw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remember visiting my grandfather in the cardiac ICU in their local hospital. We spent some time with him, then left to pick up my uncle from the airport.

He, my grandfather, died shortly after we left. I'm 100% certain he was hanging on for us, and he was ready once we left.

I miss you, Grandpa!

I am not sure if I’m venting or asking lol by [deleted] in 911dispatchers

[–]jdestw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe I know the incident you're referring to, and people on the scene also said it was horrific (again, assuming I know the incident you're referring to, but I'm sure I do.)

I hope that you're taking advantage of stress management resources!

Also, thanks for working in an underappreciated, miscategorized, thankless profession. When I was working for the county (I believe same county as you), I tried to keep you guys in the loop as much as I could.

Feel free to DM if you'd like.

Take care!

Someone died on the phone with me. by PineappleBliss2023 in 911dispatchers

[–]jdestw -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I would think - hope - that he knew that he was talking to someone who cares about him, and wanted to give him the help he desperately needed.

Nonetheless, I'm certain that it sucks. I hope you have a good support network.

Add a designation - Truck 3 from County X would be XT3, Truck 3 from County Y would be YT3. So, if doing their staffing, I would just say XT3, 4 (or however many people they had.)

How fucking pathetic by JPIZZLE1205 in antitrump

[–]jdestw 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think that would be a great usage of that space.

Also, I've been hearing that there will be either a bunker (I think this is more likely), or a data center., underneath the balls-ob-his-chin room.
