Back in November of 2006 I wrote about the racial paranoia behind the Tennie Pierce antics . The madness continues, and speaks towards the insanity of people trying to get a free ride out of the system because of it’s fear of saying “NO!” There were two white firefighters suspended for allowing the “racial practical joke.” Captains Chris Burton and John Tohill have sued and were awarded $1.6 million in damages . They sued for reverse discrimination because a hispanic firefighter received a lighter punishment.

This is crazy! How much money do we as taxpayers have to pay for this ridiculous prank and ignore the racial paranoia? We as a society seemingly allow people to behave stupidly and then pay them for it. If anything I believe they could have received back-pay for the days missed and perhaps interest that could have accrued, but what was awarded, is unfathomably lame.
