i get it. he lied after doing the right thing. oh my god shoot him.

this would be a completely different story if that lady was diabetic or something and he saved her life by not waiting for someone else to help. but just because she was ok, she was lying in bed like a piece of shit ignoring the world, then he is in the wrong? whatever

That's what you don't get, even if he had saved her life he lied to his boss.
He doesn't deserved to be shot just fired.

technically deserves to be fired. even though he lied, it was a stupid lie that doesnt mean anything. he did what any one of us would do in that situation. and if that lady would put the money she spent on cameras into a 12yo kid to mow her yard, the inspector would never have been there in the first place.

and ill even go out on a limb and say this chick is selling or growing drugs. because there sure aint nothing in that house worth stealing, so i can be pretty judgmental about the reason she has cameras in the first place. i bet the inspector, being a former cop, probably felt this place was a dug house and didnt think anyone would believe her story over his. but that is all speculation on my part... im just sayin.

unless you were dying of heat stroke or someone else already shooting you because they hate you. so youre lying there, dying, and cant answer the door. but its ok nobody comes in to save you? youre so full of crap!

Dumbass. My wife works 6PM to 6AM and sleeps during the day, if she woke up to some douchebag that let himself in, and was standing in the door of our bedroom he'd be in a world of hurt. You might be alright with big, bald dude staring at you while you sleep after coming in uninvited, but normal people are not.

where was it denied? you forget the fact that it appears someone might need help! WHY ELSE WOULD HE GIVE A FUCK TO ENTER?!?!??!?

bwhahqahahah

what a fucking stretch.

yeah he didn't need to call you a dumbass. you have pretty much proven it to us so need to point out the obvious.

I think we have the heart of the issue.
It was stupid to lie but the lie wasn't just a stupid lie.

Lying is never good but I'd say lying to the employer is top 5 in the list of people you should never lie to.

As an employer and person that employes people what this guy demonstrated was.

1. Dishonesty, if he is willing to lie about something so stupid what else is he willing to do.

2. Lack of respect for his employer, not even common courtesy to be truthful.

3. Bad judgement and decision making skills.

As an employer he is a proven liability why keep him on when there are thousands if honest people looking for work.

he was there because the homeowner was breaking multiple laws despite multiple warnings. when the inspector got there, he was also ignored and the placed smelled like rotting shit. and the front door was open. nothing to see there right? all seems normal to me! whatever

You do realize that all he had to do was make a simple phone call to the police right?

1, he was a former cop, 2, how does he know someone isnt dying inside?

all i hear these days is "republicans" wanting people to fend for themselves and not call the cops for every little situation, but now just because people want to win a forum argument the cops should have been called? when this guy was a cop anyway? idiocracy at its height.

so he went in the house for no reason? i gave an excellent reason yet thats a stretch over no reason at all?

am i on acid?

well i don't know if you are on acid or not. but hell you are still wrong in him getting fired and on him entering the house.



1, he was a former cop, 2, how does he know someone isnt dying inside?


key word. FORMER he is NOT a cop. so he had no right to go inside. he had no proof that anyone was hurt.

He had no reason or right to enter the house. Absolutely none. If he was worried about someone's well being, 911 is a simple phone call.

You may be on acid, how would I know? You're coherent enough to type at a keyboard, so probably not. :)

1. call supervisor
2. call 911
3. keep job

Yes he went into the house for no reason. The only thing he could have legally done is call the police; they have the authority to investigate, not him.

I really couldn't say whether you're on acid. All I know is when I accidently ingested some in my youth it didn't make me think that a county worker had the right to enter a house unbidden.

im not, havent been for many years :D

1. call supervisor
2. call 911
3. cops get there and find she just died minutes ago, and now you feel like a total asshole for not putting the clues together and taking action. nope, you called mommy and daddy and waited for someone else to do something. this is exactly what all of you regularly bitch about, and regularly praise people when they take action on their own.
