🚨#BREAKING: Outrage is erupting after a 22-year-old who runs into BURNING BUILDINGS as a volunteer firefighter was told he isn't qualified to be a paid firefighter...
...because he was HOMESCHOOLED.
Then the city changed the job posting to cover it up.
His name is Andrew Coates. He's 22 years old, in Nebraska.
Right now, today, he runs into burning buildings as a volunteer firefighter for Cedar Bluffs Fire. He is a state-licensed EMT.
He is doing the job. For free.
All he wanted was to get PAID to do it. In his words: "Make a career out of it would be the goal. To get paid to do what you love."
So he applied to the Fremont Fire Department.
And in April, the city rejected him. Why?
Because his high school diploma says he was homeschooled.
That's it. That's the whole disqualification.
Not his EMT license.
Not his fitness.
Not his record.
Not his experience pulling people out of fires ALREADY!!
...how he was educated.
The job posting he applied to said "graduation from high school."
That's all it said.
He graduated high school.
He has a diploma.
And AFTER they rejected him, the city went back and added the word "accredited" to the job description.
His own fire chief, the man who has watched Andrew work, showed up to defend him:
"I feel the city of Fremont is really missing out here, and in my mind, because of his homeschooling, you guys are discriminating against him."
Over THIRTY homeschool families showed up to stand behind this kid.
And the Civil Service Commission? They said it isn't their job to touch city policy.
Homeschoolers are literally a generation of kids who read ABOVE grade level, who work with their HANDS, who volunteer in their communities, who show up for their neighbors.
And this young man is the proof.
At 22, he's a certified EMT and a volunteer firefighter, while plenty of his peers are on a couch.
When your house is on fire at 3 a.m., I promise you will not ask the man dragging your children out where he went to high school.
You will not ask if his diploma was accredited.
You will thank GOD he came.
Andrew isn't even fighting for himself anymore. His words:
"I think now it's turned into we want to make sure that every homeschooler has an equal opportunity."
That's a better man than the policy that rejected him.
Fremont, you have a licensed EMT and an active firefighter begging to serve your city. And you turned him down over paperwork, then rewrote the paperwork to cover it.
Fix this.
Hire him!!!!!!!
When Fukushima exploded, foreign embassies told everyone to FLEE.
Commercial planes turned around. Ships steered away as fast as they could.
An invisible radiation cloud was drifting across the ocean.
And where was the USS Ronald Reagan?
STEERING DIRECTLY INTO IT.
AT MAXIMUM SPEED.
The radiation alarms were screaming on the bridge.
Every textbook said: "Turn back. Save yourselves."
The Captain and his crew said:
"There are Japanese families shivering on rooftops out there. WE DON'T TURN BACK."
24 hours a day, in freezing sleet, they ran their desalination plants to the brink of failure.
Sailors gave up their OWN fresh water.
They stopped taking hot showers.
They ate cold rations.
Why?
To produce tens of thousands of gallons of pure, uncontaminated drinking water for Japanese babies.
Mechanics with radiation badges worked through the night on snow-covered decks so helicopters could fly non-stop rescue sorties.
While the world backed away in terror,
American sailors ran through the fire for us.
Never tell me true heroes don't wear dog tags. 🇺🇸🔥🇯🇵
If a black college girl was dragged from her porch and beaten by a white mob, EVERY SINGLE MSM OUTLET would cover it.
When the reverse happens?
Total silence.
After September 11, more than a million tons of the World Trade Center was loaded onto barges and shipped to a garbage dump on Staten Island.
Then hundreds of men and women stood at conveyor belts for ten months and picked through every ounce of it by hand.
They were looking for people.
The place is called Fresh Kills. For fifty years it was the largest landfill in the world. It took its last barge of household trash on March 22, 2001, and shut down for good. New York was finally done with it.
Five and a half months later, at two o'clock in the morning on September 12, the landfill's director got a phone call at home. He had just walked in the door.
Two trucks were at the gate. They were carrying pieces of the World Trade Center.
He drove back.
The man who ran the dump would later say, without any drama, that if Fresh Kills had not been closed, this could never have happened. There would have been no room. The garbage would have been in the way.
The site was empty. So that is where the towers went.
Here is how it worked.
At Ground Zero, cranes and grapplers lifted the debris into dump trucks. The trucks drove to a pier on the Hudson. There, the load went onto barges, six hundred tons at a time. The barges were towed down the harbor, past the Statue of Liberty, to Staten Island. More than fifteen hundred barges made the trip.
At Fresh Kills, sanitation workers unloaded them onto a hill.
And then the sorting began.
The debris was mechanically screened into three sizes. Chunks bigger than eight inches. Two to eight inches. A quarter inch to two inches. Anything smaller than a quarter of an inch, the size of a fingernail, fell through the last sieve.
Everything above that size went onto a conveyor belt.
And along the belts stood the detectives.
NYPD. FBI. Port Authority police. Medical examiners. Dressed head to toe in white Tyvek suits, in masks, in gloves, on a hill that stank of jet fuel and pulverized concrete and things nobody wanted to name. Looking down at the belt, hour after hour, as the towers rolled past them a fist-sized chunk at a time.
When they saw something, they reached in and took it, and placed it in a white bucket at their feet.
A wedding ring. A photo ID. A set of keys. A shoe.
A piece of a person.
The white buckets went to a tent that served as a morgue.
The volume was beyond comprehension. In mid-September the operation was processing 1,750 tons of debris a day. By mid-October, 17,500 tons a day. Ten times more. Round the clock. The 200-acre hill was declared a federal crime scene and stayed one for ten months.
A retired NYPD detective later wrote down what a shift looked like, because almost nobody outside knew it existed.
You wake at 3 a.m. You get a giant coffee. You drive two hours in the dark from Orange County, through New Jersey, to Staten Island. You park at the bottom of a hill that looks like the end of the world. You put on the white suit. You go to your belt. You stand there. You look.
Then you drive two hours home and do it again tomorrow.
Sanitation workers pulled sixteen-hour shifts, seven days a week. One of them, a supervisor named Barry Asnes, said afterward what kept him there. We were attacked on our own soil, in the city where I was born. This was personal.
The operation did not stop for weather. It did not stop for Christmas. It ran until July 2002. Ten months.
By the end, the men and women on that hill had recovered thousands of human remains. Tens of thousands of personal effects. Wallets, badges, wedding bands, photographs, all cleaned and catalogued and returned to families who had nothing else to bury.
When they were finished, the remaining material was placed in a 48-acre section of the landfill, a mound two hundred and twenty-five feet high, and covered.
It is a park now.
Many of the men and women who stood on that hill have lung disease. Asthma. Cancer. PTSD. The air they were breathing, eight and ten and sixteen hours a day, was full of the towers. Some of them have died of it.
Almost nobody knows their names. Almost nobody knows the place.
Mention Fresh Kills and 9/11 in the same sentence, the retired detective wrote, and most people will have no idea what you are talking about.
Here is what you should know.
Two thousand seven hundred and fifty-three people were murdered in those towers. Only about six in ten have ever been identified.
Every one of those identifications came out of a white bucket.
Every wedding ring returned to a widow. Every badge returned to a firehouse. Every fragment of bone matched to a name and buried with a headstone instead of a question mark.
Somebody in a white suit, standing at a belt on a garbage dump at four in the morning, reached into the World Trade Center as it rolled past, and picked that person up, and put them in a bucket, and sent them home.
They did that for ten months.
Nobody applauded on the hill. There was nobody to watch.
They did it anyway. 🇺🇸
BREAKING: ABC just DELETED their tweet after they were ratioed into oblivion, community noted and called out by @elonmusk directly for trying to deceive the public about a drunk driver who crashed her Tesla
This is how it’s done!
They aren’t used to accountability. The lying from the fake news legacy media doesn’t work anymore!
Two months ago Cameron Lyon proposed to the love of his life.
She said yes! 💍
But they’re never going to have a wedding…
He was kiIIed this week when an illegal alien invader crashed into him while driving drunk.
We should not have to live like this.
You are not infuriated enough.
RIP Cameron 💔
Praying for Abrielle.
Beyond devastating
🚨 JUST NOW: President Trump is dropping VIDEO PROOF for every Fake News outlet lying to millions that he was nowhere near Ground Zero after 9/11
They want to memory-hole this footage.
Donald Trump: "Well, I just went to what they call Ground Zero. I've never seen anything like it. The devastation, the human life that's been just wasted for no reason whatsoever. It is a terrible scene. It's a terrible sight. But New Yorkers are very strong and resilient, and they'll rebuild quickly."
"I think they have to respond quickly and effectively. They have to find out exactly what the cause was, who did it, and they have to go after these people because there is no other choice." 🇺🇸
Trump VERY CLEARLY said he showed up to the scene when the law allowed him to, not while the building was actively crumbling.
They put words in his mouth to lie. RETRACT!
Another mother interested in the Lindsay Clancy trial has been charged with murdering her 2-year-old by hanging.
This is what happens when you create a society with no consequences.
CENSORSHIP: Students in Richardson ISD are having Google search results for President Trump blocked on their Chromebooks by a service called GoGuardian. Of course they don't censor Biden, Harris, or even Epstein. GoGuardian is a Democrat censorship shop led by Tony Miller (Obama's Deputy Secretary of Education) and Elisa Villanueva Beard (former CEO of Teach for America). The employees are overwhelmingly Democrats.
🚨BREAKING: A sickening ruling has sparked outrage: Three teenage boys who gang-raped two girls — while filming the attacks on their phones, laughing, and cheering each other on — have been given zero jail time.
Judge Nicholas Rowland said he wanted to “avoid criminalising these children unnecessarily” and focus on their “reintegration into society.”
The victims? Completely betrayed by the system.
This is what happens when judges prioritize rapists over justice. Disgusting.
The UK justice sytem is completely broken!
