Chicago must hire 111 firefighters
Posted: May 18, 2011
CHICAGO --
A federal appeals court ruled on Friday that the Chicago Fire Department must hire 111 African Americans who passed a firefighters entrance exam 16 years ago and pay millions of dollars to thousands more who took and passed the same test.
The Seventh U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruling was the latest blow to the city, which has been on the losing end of court decisions regarding the 1995 test for years, including a 2005 ruling by a federal judge who said the test discriminated against black applicants and a U.S. Supreme Court ruling last year that the candidates did not wait too long to sue the city.
An attorney for the black firefighter candidates said that the 111 jobs would be filled from the applicants who passed the 1995 test and their pensions would be adjusted as if they'd been firefighters since 1995. And, said Joshua Karsh, 6,000 others who also passed the test will divide "tens of millions of dollars" that would have been paid 111 firefighters from 1995 until today.

More thug tactics from Chicago. - sm
[ In Reply To ..]Explains why Obama is such a friggin thug. How can a firefighter test be racially discriminating? You either pass it or you don't. How is that racist? It isn't like the white guys were given the answers to the test or anything. Ridiculous!
Never mind that the discrimination claim has been upheld - n numerous court challenges, huh?
[ In Reply To ..]It can and it was. Now it is time for Chicago to pay the piper for decades of institutionalized racist practices. Guess they will think twice before trying to go down that road again, though now that the dynasty has been dethroned, things should start to look up. Seems to me that all this anger is directed at those uppity job applicants who had the utter gall to stand up for themselves instead of rolling over.
try reading it again - sm
[ In Reply To ..]and this time with comprehension. IT clearly states they PASSED the test and were NOT hired. That friggin thug of a judge ruled it discrimination.

2 Firefighters Dead. More Carnage.Dec 24, 2012
The man didn't have a license for the assault rifle, as he spent time in prison for killing his grandmother. I know banning assault rifles won't immediately solve anything. There are already so many in possession. But as gun companies stop making them and they get harder and harder to obtain, they WILL gradually become less prevelent. Keep your shotguns. Keep your handguns. But let's compromise and ban the military style weapons. No one needs them. This ...

Firefighters Watch As Home BurnsOct 06, 2010
Have people gone absolutely crazy? I can't believe any human being could stand by and watch someone's house burn down with their animals inside when they have the capability to put it out.

Firefighters are usually the bold "veni, vidi, vici" sort, but those from neighboring South Fulton could o ...

After all, this is Chicago we’re talking about; incumbent mayors expect to be coronated, not subjected to the indignity ...

As for specifics regarding sources for purchasing guns, some of the inmates indicated that gangs have individuals with a Firearm Owners Identification Card who buy guns then sell them to gang members. Others indicated using “corrupt cops” who seize guns then “put them back on the street.” The inmates made clear they do not walk into gun stores to buy guns. Which proves a point Breitbart News, Gun Owners of America, and other gun rights groups have made for years; namely, that backgro ...
