Contractor hired to clean up paradise posting disturbing images

[Climber]

Kinda like when mobs of people try to get others fired or put out of business for having opposing viewpoints.

Yeah, there was a lot of that during the Iraq War.

 

[byke]

there is a lot of Snowflake in this thread..

Seriously. All they lost was a job. You'd think they were drawn and quartered.

 

[aminalmutha]

Were these workers evil? They weren't even criminal. At most they were insensitive.

So? You don’t have to commit a crime to get fired.

Since we're pulling religious quotes let's be sure to include this one:

"Let (s)he who has not sinned cast the first stone."


Lot's of people throwing rocks in this thread. That's not a judgement, it's an observation.

okay - you want to go there? how about this one:

‘For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline.’

The bible getting swung around in here like nunchucks. All fun and games until someone gets converted.

They should be reprimanded but not fired. Insensitive yes, but why does the internet immediately jump to "FIRE THEM!" whenever a news story breaks.

The internet sure does like to have the lynch mob mentality for things they are not involved with. Yes, condemn another human to living on the streets with "THEY WILL NEVER WORK AGAIN IF I HAVE MY WAY!"

Chill the fuck out, it's pictures - let the company/those involved handle it.

Remember, everything they took pictures with.. is about to be thrown in a dumpster. Not so holy at that point is it? Even the cat.. is gonna get thrown out.

Who cares what the internet thinks. Might as well start complaining about youtube comments. Ain't nobody got time for that. In a results based world, all that matters is what the employer thinks. Don't like their decision? Give 'em a call. But, bitching on the internet about bitching on the internet..?

Actually, every contractor entering a disaster area has a no pictures no social media clause, so yeah, they deserve to be fired.
Unfortunately the same media they chose to broadcast their “gallows humor”/ disrespect is the same outlet that will most likely ruin a portion of their lives.
What we think, regardless of agreement or disagreement, clearly matters. Observe the fallout.

Even worse is when people bitch about those people who bitch about bitching on the internet. The internet thinks that's super annoying.

 

[ThumperX]

The internet thinks? Is that legal?

The most logical and rational way for me to respond to this is...

NO U!

We could start a whole new thread on the bible!

Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.

When people are going into a zone where people's homes are damaged or destroyed and there may be valuables still there, the people whose homes they are need to have a confidence that the people going there won't be taking their valuables.

These guys destroyed that trust. Since that was part of their job (maintaining that trust) they forfeited their access and thus their jobs as a result of their actions.

In these kinds of situations, there is more to it than just simply labor.

Agreed.

I went up there yesterday to see a friend of mine in Magalia, who's place was spared. There were still homeowners combing thru the debris and looking for memento's of their past life. Quite a sobering day for me as it was my birthday as well.

Just imagine if someone were coming back to their lifetime home and found these idiots?

If you were in the military and went thru seeing your buddies being shot/killed and been thru that trauma, I can understand more of the "gallows" humor reaction.


These guys are cleaning up, not looking for bodies, or watching their friends being shot. Immature and extremely poor judgment, hopefully this will teach them a life lesson and they will be better for it, and will set an example for others, as this clean up will take at least a year, maybe more.
