As we celebrate this Resurrection Day in America (because we’re still allowed), New Yorkers are calling the finest of New York’s firefighters (FDNY) a bunch of racists.

The story goes something like this, according to The New York Post. A man on a bicycle goes cycling past the East 2nd Street firehouse and sees the American Flag with the thin red line. My stars! Man on a bicycle is triggered. Besides himself with the “fascist” symbol that was shoved in his face, this man walks in and confronts the Ladder Co. 11 firefighters.

BOY! Would I have loved to been in on THAT altercation. While I hope some of the finest of FDNY wiped the floor with this schmuck, it’s a curious story. The man claimed to be a staffer for Democratic Manhattan Councilwoman Carlina Rivera. This story goes back a couple of weeks:

On March 19, the FDNY received an email from Lisander Rosario – a staffer for Rivera – saying a constituent had contacted the office twice to complain about the ladder company’s flag and ask if it violated any rules.”-The Daily Mail

I mean, it’s bad enough that some think members of FDNY need to be “reeducated“…but this?
