Yet ANOTHER Faked “Hate Crime”

Baltimore Firehouse Noose Incident Was a Hoax

 A firefighter who reportedly found a rope and a threatening note with a drawing of a noose in a Baltimore station house last month admitted to placing the items there himself, it was reported.

The Baltimore Sun reported Sunday that Donald Maynard, a firefighter and paramedic in-training, who is African American, confessed to police.

In a written statement Fire Chief William J. Goodwin Jr. said Maynard wanted to create a "perception that members within our department were acting in a discriminatory and unprofessional manner," the Sun reported.

The noose incident sparked outrage two weeks ago and lauched a federal hate crime probe.

On Nov. 21, Maynard and another fire department employee who is white, discovered a handwritten note that read, "We cant [sic] hang the cheaters but we can hang the failures. NO EMT-I, NO JOB."

A stick figure with a drawing of a noose and the word "Stop" was written below the message.

It is believed the note was referring allegations of cheating and a move to push emergency medical technicians to become certified as paramedics, the report said.

Maynard was among those that could be affected by the proposed changes. He was suspended and will likely face additional punishment, The Sun reported.

Fire Departments are facing this everywhere. Fire safety is preventing more and more fires and Fire Departments are forcing their members to become EMT certified so they can pertty much stay in business. Me personally I don't think you should force anyone into healthcare. If should be a desire and passion to want to be medically trained. But even the local departments here are feeling the strain and doing the same. I love being a Paramedic it is what the Lord called me to do but I do not want to be a fireman so I understand how they feel. This still does not justify what this idiot did. People always play the race card to try to get ahead.

From my understanding he already was an EMT. The push was just to get certified.

Yea I believe he was already an EMT. We have different ranks within EMS and the skills each rank can perform. With Paramedic being the highest certified. The letter that said "no EMT-I no job" was referring to him obtaining his Intermediate level. Here in NC that is the level where you can began to initiate IV's in the field and certian medications. Basically moving from a Basic Life Support Service to an Advanced Life Support Service. That term you hear all the time with BLS and ALS.  Grin Sorry to rant but I love my work. lol

Our fire dept here requires certified paramedics. I have a heart condition and if it weren't for the hand of God and certified paramedics I probably wouldn't be here.
