here is one-typical mindset-:Accidentally Burns Down Own House
According to a report in the Ferguson Post-Gazette, 32-year-old Tyler Jackson threw a Molotov cocktail into a window, not realizing he was setting ablaze his own residence. His home subsequently burned to the ground.
“It was dark. I got all turned around. I thought it was a 7-11 or something,” he told the newspaper.
Witnesses describe Jackson shouting expletives after he realized what he had done. He then tried to put out the flames himself with his garden hose, but eventually called 911 and asked the fire department for aid.
“They told me they were too busy with other fires to come help,” he lamented. “I couldn’t believe it. I mean we pay these people’s salaries! What do you mean you're too busy? A black person’s house burns down and suddenly you’re ‘too busy’ to put the fire out? This is what racism in America looks like.”
Targeting local, community stores owned by local business people is self-defeating. The damage has been compounded by the fact that many fires go unattended due to concerns for the firefighter’s safety.
Nevertheless sources say Jackson is considering filing a civil rights lawsuit against the fire department for not responding to the blaze.
“If it weren't for those racist firefighters I’d still have a home,” he says.
