Firefighters. Heroes, or douche-bags? You be the
judge. A veteran firefighter from the Southlake Department of Public Safety has been fired for supervising the hosing down of the Southlake Carroll band and color guard, injuring 13 students.
One color guard student, Liz Schmiedel, 16, suffered a knocked-out tooth, three loosened and chipped teeth, and abrasions to her lips, chin, hip, knees, hand and wrist.
Because as we all know, it takes a real hero to bust a flag-girl in the mouth and knock out some teeth.
But to be fair not all firefighters participate in acts of douche-baggery, just like they're not all heroes. They're city workers getting paid to do a job, just like cops, the dog catcher and the garbage men.
