    Criminal Backgrounds and DMV

    Like many have said, we have all done things that we didn’t get caught for, and in some cases we did as described above. I am in camp second chances for many more things than not. But I maintain there are certain crimes that should preclude one from bearing the public trust - murder, rape...

    You have a most valid point. You keep making it. But you guys are talking over each other’s heads now. Not all felonies are legitimate because some government said so, but we are talking violent and grossly dishonest folks here not the outliers who got dinged hard for little reason.

    Criminal Backgrounds and DMV

    Here’s the thing. We are in a position of public trust- like it or not. Once you’ve stained that (as someone made plenty of examples of earlier) you forfeit certain rights and limit your options for your future. I personally believe we need need criminal justice reform as well as changes to...

    Any leads on hiring for COVID 19 stuff for EMS?

    Who’s ready to make that contract money? It appears we are in for a second wave of the Rona and there is now a new swine flu virus in China that may become a pandemic.

    Truly an example of "it takes all kinds." It's like trying to have a conversation with a turkey sandwich except I can stomach a turkey sandwich. I have had more insightful conversations with manic, intoxicated, hallucinating psych patients.

    This is along the lines of what I have been saying since it began. I had one brief moment of “wow this thing may just ravage us all,” and then promptly realized I’d been bamboozled by those who would use this as an excuse to further their agenda. The virus wasn’t really the problem for the...
