AND THE CITY OF HARTFORD FIRED HIM

The link below is a story that aired last night on WFSB, Channel 3. To view the story click here, The story is about Hartford Fire Deputy Chief Dan Nolan who was terminated from Hartford's Fire Department by our felonious former Mayor Eddie Perez, The move was supported at the time by Hartford's former Fire Chief and Springfield Mardi Gras regular, Charles Teale.

The termination has since been overturned by a Superior Court Judge and the City is under orders to bring Nolan back/ Dan just finished a tour with the Army in Afghanistan and it seems as though his charitable acts continued even while he was out of the country.

Nolan may be exactly what the Hartford Fire Department needs right now to straighten out its ranks and restore some dignity to Hartford's Firefighting community

VICTIMS OR CRIMINALS?

A news story is beginning to make the rounds today about two "young women" who were  kidnapped, tied up and sexually assaulted at the Travel Inn Motel on Weston Street..

The fact of the matter is that the two young women freely admitted to police that they went to the hotel room specifically with the intent of buying drugs. The two "young women" had just finished their shifts as strippers at a local adult establishment.. They further told police that they spent the night partying and doing drugs in the room. In fact at one point, one of the "young women" went to her car to get her laptop so they could play music during their drug binge.

I am not in anyway condoning sexual assault, but let's tell the full story here, rather than portray these fine "young women" as innocent victims that were preyed upon by some deviant in that awful City of Hartford, where no one is safe.

I also wonder if the "victims" will face any charges since their intent was clearly to commit a criminal act. If you play with snakes, the chances are pretty good you are going to get bit.
