Sending condolences and love to the family of Randy Mantooth - who made my childhood exciting and cool and provided endless hours of fun for me and my friends pretending to call Rampart and be those two cool paramedics. 💙
"Squad Fifty-One, this is Rampart…”
The #LACoFD is saddened to hear that our dear friend, Randolph Mantooth passed away yesterday.
Best known for portraying FFPM Johnny Gage in the iconic 1970s television series #Emergency, his character was an integral part of #Squad51, helping to popularize the paramedic and EMS system across the U.S.
Randy was a great friend and supporter of our Department and Fire Museum. He will be truly missed but his memory and legacy will live on in our hearts and in our paramedic program.
RIP 5️⃣1️⃣🚒🚑💔🕊️
Notice the pattern between Biden and Platner, because it is the whole story. In both cases, the primary voters made a choice. In both cases, the party decided, after the fact, that the voters had chosen wrong. And in both cases, the same institution that lectures America about authoritarianism and “threats to democracy” moved heaven and earth to override the expressed will of its own electorate the moment that will became inconvenient. The people who cannot stop saying democracy is on the ballot keep discovering, at the decisive moment, that they trust themselves more than the demos.

BACKROOMS is an astonishing box office achievement. So Is OBSESSION. But consider this. American Graffiti cost $750,000 in 1973. It earned $144 million. In today's dollars, American Graffiti made $1.2 billion on a $5 million budget. Nothing will ever come close.
The @Verizon offer is disgusting. They think half a day of lost data - interviews, work calls, millions of people's days disruption - is worth less than a good pizza?
On this day in 1947, the late Toy Caldwell was born. Toy co-founded The Marshall Tucker Band with his brother, Tommy. Over Toy's 11 years as band leader, The Marshall Tucker Band released 14 albums with millions of copies sold. Photo by Herb Kossover
On this day in 1972, we lost bassist Berry Oakley, a founding member of the Allman Brothers Band. He died from injuries sustained in a motorcycle crash, not unlike the one that killed his friend and fellow band member, Duane Allman. Photo by Twiggs Lyndon
