Tornado throws bus

Three firefighters in Michigan were fighting a fire at a dry cleaning business when the roof collapsed underneath them. They go from ventilating the roof to diving for safety in a scene that looks like it’s right out of a movie.They say the didn't realize just how scary situation was until they saw the video.

    I would call then good" states Philip.

    I would call them guilty and trying to justify one's own insidious behavior, merely because that person is the one doing it.

    One can make up the rules, then break them, merely because they are the one making the rules.
    That's what our politicians do, and that is just as hypocritical.
