What we have in this video is a firefighter who decided to make a personal statement by hanging a Confederate flag from a city fire truck in the city’s July 4 parade without clearing it with his boss first. This loose cannon is now an ex-firefighter.
Meanwhile, “Two members of the Marion County Republican committee resigned on Monday after they flew three Confederate flags from the county GOP’s float in a local Independence Day parade on Saturday, the Des Moines Register reported.” (Click here for source.) Really, before doing stuff like this, you should clear it with someone first in case there are repercussions.
Well, they’re not the only stupid people who got carried away by July 4 festivities. Two NFL players playing with fireworks blew off fingers, and a guy in Maine killed himself by launching fireworks from the top of his head.
