家园 民主的大火!光荣的大火!

不交$75救火费,消防队看着你家房子烧光。你儿子敢扎刺, 逮到监狱去

这个好像有点匪夷所思吧。消防队只扑灭交了钱的住户。没有交钱的,任凭大火燃烧。最后房主的儿子气不过,揍了消防队长,以攻击罪名逮捕。高!实在是高!

以下请看msnbc的报道

No pay, no spray: Firefighters let home burn

Tennessee house in ashes after homeowner 'forgot' to pay $75 fee

Home burns over unpaid $75 fee .Firefighters in rural Tennessee let a home burn to the ground last week because the homeowner hadn't paid a $75 fee.

Gene Cranick of Obion County and his family lost all of their possessions in the Sept. 29 fire, along with three dogs and a cat.

"They could have been saved if they had put water on it, but they didn't do it," Cranick told MSNBC's Keith Olbermann.

The fire started when the Cranicks' grandson was burning trash near the family home. As it grew out of control, the Cranicks called 911, but the fire department from the nearby city of South Fulton would not respond.

"We wasn't on their list," he said the operators told him.

Cranick, who lives outside the city limits, admits he "forgot" to pay the annual $75 fee. The county does not have a county-wide firefighting service, but South Fulton offers fire coverage to rural residents for a fee.

Cranick says he told the operator he would pay whatever is necessary to have the fire put out. His offer wasn't accepted, he said. The fire fee policy dates back 20 or so years.

"Anybody that's not inside the city limits of South Fulton, it's a service we offer. Either they accept it or they don't," said South Fulton Mayor David Crocker.

Firefighters did eventually show up, but only to fight the fire on the neighboring property, whose owner had paid the fee.

"They put water out on the fence line out here. They never said nothing to me. Never acknowledged. They stood out here and watched it burn," Cranick said.

South Fulton's mayor said that the fire department can't let homeowners pay the fee on the spot, because the only people who would pay would be those whose homes are on fire.

Cranick, who is now living in a trailer on his property, says his insurance policy will help cover some of his lost home.

"Insurance is going to pay for what money I had on the policy, looks like. But like everything else, I didn't have enough."

After the blaze, South Fulton police arrested one of Cranick's sons, Timothy Allen Cranick, on an aggravated assault charge, according to WPSD-TV, an NBC station in Paducah, Ky.

Police told WPSD that the younger Cranick attacked Fire Chief David Wilds at the firehouse because he was upset his father's house was allowed to burn.

WPSD-TV reported that Wilds was treated and released.

家园 当年我小时候看的中国少年报上没少登这些东西

什么老人饿死家中xx天无人发现啊

什么汽车着火 临车虽有灭火器却要xx元 以至于眼看爱车化为乌有啊

多了

家园 见《七十二家房客》

[FLASH]http://player.56.com/v_NTE3NzU5NDY.swf[/FLASH]

家园 是啊,就好像欧美媒体报纸上也没少登关于中国的负面新闻

这个世界需要一个东西,它叫“平衡”。

没有它,那这个世界就是一言堂。

我看中国和其他国家应该多搞点这样骂骂欧美的新闻,要不然老是让他们那么几个国家几个媒体整体没事干不刷牙口水飞喷的说三道四还美其名曰“国际舆论”实在是对不起‘言论自由’这四个字。
