What da hell is wrong with people?

[Scuba_Steve]

Just watching campbell live about ambulance drivers, what they showed on show wasn't too bad but the point was there & reiterated, that these life savers are coming up against ever increasing abuse & hatred, one of the guys making the comment the hatred for the cops is getting re-directed at them.
Feel free to hurl as much abuse as you want to the P.I.G.'s but don't go abusing people trying to help you, your mates, or the general public these guys do a good job, are much needed & should be much respected!. if you want to hurl anything at these guys make it donations or praise NOT abuse. I just hope for anyone hurling the abuse at these guys there is such thing as karma!.

:angry2:k rant over for now...

[FJRider]

I just hope the Ambo's just walk away ... and let the buggers bleed to death ...

[duckonin]

Yep the cunts are sick alright, buggar me the blokes and Gal's in the service are only trying to help they do not need that sort of shit, in England the police have to be present when the Amb's arrive for their safety..:facepalm:

[White trash]

Riff raff has been assaulted more times than I care to remember working as a paramedic in South Auckland. Once, the injuries bad enough, that she required almost a
full 12 months off work and surgery to her wrist a couple of times. When it went to court, the fucking woman soliciter acting for the defendant had the GALL to call Riff raff a lier when she was giving evidence against this creep. Sugesting perhaps she was making out the ASSAULT was worse than it actually was. When the judge laughed out loud and convicted this creitin, it transpired it (beneath human genders) had multiple violent convictions against all sorts of people. It's solicter was privy to these convictions prior to sentencing yet she still tried to make out Riff raff was at fault. In fact, the reason it was being taken to hospital was because it'd given itself a nasty gash having tried to kick in the door of a vacant house because it thought its ex girlfriend was inside having seen the same coloured car as hers parked outside.

I'm so fucking gratefull that every night, I don't have to worry that my beloved is out in South Auckland dealing with scum pond and risking her life to help others who really should be left to bleed to fucking death.

We constantly worry about our friends still in the service with more courage than us to try and make a difference. They deserve fucking medals, all of them.

[Usarka]

Yeah I remember Riff's comments around the time. Dis-fucking-graceful. Ambo's should be issued with 45's.

[Scuba_Steve]

I just hope the Ambo's just walk away ... and let the buggers bleed to death ...

don't forget its not usually the ones they're trying to help that are abusing them it's the other fuckwits round them or passing by

[Headbanger]

I'm all for arming the abbo's.

Same for fire. Over in the U.K they call out fire to a col-de-sac and ambush them. I say just let the neighbourhood go to hell and don't send anyone down. Fuck them.

Here in N.Z there are a couple of roads we head down very hesitantly without police with us. Had a bottle thrown at the truck down some fuckheads driveway the other day, and get the same kinda aggro. We are just lucky we have more numbers and readily available weapons on-board!...

You have my permission to turn the hose on them anytime you want... after all it's just a little water right?:laugh::innocent:

[Genestho]

Totally agree SS (except reference to police!)

Had a close female family member working the coromandel - thames route for a few years.

Volunteer work and treated like crap from smashed up drunkards, although she weathered alot of verbal abuse - she was never physically assaulted, I knew she was fearful a quite few times, amazingly - it didn't deter her helping people in need voluntarily, she only quit due to a change in circumstances.
Absolute respect to all who head out into frontline emergencies.:yes: you just never know when you'll need them!

[White trash]

You remeber Riff raff? She thought no one cared? ;)

We've got a million other stories similar to that one, from ONE fucking St Johns member! The tough cunts like Robbie and Blue Thunder (KBer) * sorry for the pople whos names I cant remember* that have made a career devoting their lives and safety to helping people in the area have my undying respect. You cunts rock and you're far tougher than me, I woulda busted a cap or two by now.

[oldrider]

So the inference here is that the cops "are not" out there trying to help us ......... that's the attitude what's wrong with people! IMHO :facepalm:

I used to be a cop and worked rural. Sometimes the only and best backup was the local volunteer firefighters.

Dont forget there are many good cops out there taking a lot of crap trying to keep the peace and on average annually each taking a beating and for some even a bullet for it. Would you? I doubt it, especially without that keyboard weapon you wield so bravely.

Where's that inference John?

Cops (and I have the best level of respect for them) sign up to keep the peace and know fully what they're getting into. Riff raff and I were just revsiting one of her assaults, the one outlined above. I questioned how bad it COULD have been had a police officer not been in attendance when she was injured.

I view them separate, cops are the few doing there job solving crimes, stoping violence etc, the ones I once was gonna join, I still have respect for these guys No doubt.
P.I.G.'s are the ones we all hate on here, the ones running extortion scams for the Govt with "speeding" fines etc & offer no real contribution to society. In no way do I condone physical abuse, but by all means fell free to let lose with the verbal abuse, they are not there to help anyone but the Govt make more money.

[Scuba_Steve]

double post

[davebullet]

Feel free to hurl as much abuse as you want to the P.I.G.'s

I think that's the inference mentioned.

[Paul in NZ]

Take a wider perspective.

Imagine working in a WINZ office? Or a public hospital?

I have this horrible suspicion that there is an ever increasing number of impossibly stupid and damaged people out there that have created almost a parrallel society. They are not, nor will they ever be a part of the world where you get up in the morning and go to work, pay taxes, vote or insure/register your car (to name a few).

I see it everywhere. But I also see dead people..... :blink:

I have no idea what to do about it either....

[Ocean1]

Think the dead people bit is a hint regarding what to do about the other thing?

[oldrider]

Read post #1 again!

[ellipsis]

.. there is an ever increasing number of impossibly stupid and damaged people out there that have created almost a parallel society...

....to what though, parallel to what we think as a whole or as an individual...to what the govt line is....societal mores....nz is just as susceptible to all of the worst thats out there....sad, eh...shoot down the pub/club/casino and check out a sample of the breeding stock...how many fucked in the head parents does it take to make a difference...tv...slavery to a low paying job...younger parents being incapable of bringing up kids....often 'cos they haven't had time to be a kid themselves yet...piss drinkin and more of it, she'll be right mate, who was that cunt...mate...we can do it...if any one can a kiwi can...red socks...

.....a lot of these c**ts cant boil water let alone read...it ain't parallel...its here....its our problem too...frightfull it may seem....but we may all have to look up our own arseholes if we wanna see whats going on....bugger...

+1 on that you reap what you sow , and the politics of the last 30 or more years have sown what NZ is reaping now

if you want to look at what COULD happen see Mexico, (nah that could never happen in NZ , ok from what Ive seen NZ is about 15 years behind Britain , or was pre internet , ).

All people need to be treated with dignity , and respect ,and the way western society is organised ,,with emphasis put on the individual , Im not holding my breath for a change anytime soon

I mean it can happen , but but it would need a Left leaning Mrs T to pull it off ( Helen? ,,,Nice try but .....)


Stephen

ps, when I lived in the country , I always backed up Mr Plod , as he had respect and was fair ,

[scissorhands]

They belong to a competitive world where 50% of kids get failed at school, and have little prospects due to social classes and cliques, compared to silver spooners from the right side of the tracks.

Then add alcohol to that frustration and viola. .....Alcohol.... the scurge of the working classes.

Yet they must be kept down to do the shit jobs. Tory society needs drongo's???? cause slavery was banned:msn-wink: Every now and then they get drunk and rage out, dont be there when it happens.

[yungatart]

I'm a volunteer ambo. I've only been in one situation that had the potential to turn nasty, luckily the crew I was with were really good at defusing things.

I fail to understand why people would threaten/hurt those who are only there to help...but then, there's none so queer as folk!

Society as a whole is increaingly violent...look at what our teachers have to put up with too!

Because we always need some one to clean toilets.

I have a huge problem with this kind of 'poor me' generalising, and I wonder if THAT is a contributor?

It's almost like it's expected, if you come from nothing - you'll be a nothing and go no where.

I know plenty (myself included) that have grown up with take your pick: no money - broken homes, violence, abuse, foster homes, ran away from home, fall off the tracks, get back on - work arses off with no 'meaningful' qualifications and 'succeed' (what ever that means - completely subjective)

It's about attitude, self motivation and tenacity - not where you come from!!!

[nighthawk]

MY 2 CENTS........
You can blame the Government ..the internet ...... the fact that alcohol is freely available 24/7...... the lack of employment ...and much much more..... but the truth is you should really blame yourself for allowing our society to become this way.....What happened to ......RESPECT..... the thing our grandparents got...and gave .....today's society is the way itis because we have all lost our Respect for one and other....(unfortunately this will be lost on some).

I work in an enviroment that has the potential to kick off at any time ..and sometimes does....the two things that we maintain above all else is.... that to get respect FIRST you must give it...and tell them the truth (don't wrap it in candy and feed them bullshit).

We tell the people we deal with, this is whats going to happen, nothing more nothing less, so far for the past 20 odd years it has worked the majority of the time.

Only for the few brave and courageous ones (a certain 1%er), the rest are damned from the start. Its globally universal that only a few will break their bonds of birthright.

The "Horatio Alger myth" is a criticism of the rags to riches message in books by Horatio Alger, Jr. (13 January 1832 - 18 July 1899). Alger wrote over 100 books for young working class males, beginning with Ragged Dick, which was published in 1867. His books have been described as rags to riches stories. “By leading exemplary lives, struggling valiantly against poverty and adversity,” Alger’s protagonists gain both wealth and honor, ultimately realizing the American Dream.[1]


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horatio_Alger_myth
The characters in his formulaic stories sometimes improved their social position through auspicious accidents instead of hard work and denial.

[avgas]

Horatio Alger wrote fairy tales.

I preferred Ayn Rands stuff on if you work hard enough - there will come a time when those around you who piggy back off you, will collapse like a house of cards when you go.

The modern term is "crisis".
