Magnitude 5.0 quake near Anchorage!

My first.

Dog hated it!

November 17, 2022

Race question on 911 call. Wow. Just wow.

On my way home tonight from my shift I encountered a person down on the side of the road.
I live in Anchorage AK. I saw at least 4 cars pass by this black lump before I approached. I could tell it was a person for sure as I got closer.

I stopped. (Why not others?…I was thinking).

The person was lying on the frozen ice and snow covered three lane, one way arterial. I called 911.

Since there were no visible injuries I was patched throughout to FD paramedics. I was asked the race of the person. I reported what I thought the person’s race was. I was told the paramedics had been dispatched.

12 minutes later. I called 911 again. Because no one had arrived and I heard no approaching sirens. It’s after midnight by this time and I should have heard sirens.

17 minutes after my call the local unit for health checks pulls up.

I know the reason it took so long is because I reported that person’s race. Fucking pisses me off. Pissed At self and the fact that it made a difference. Had I reported the person as white I believe it would have taken WAY less time and only one call.

Wtf?

Dear Jeff Bezos,

I love love love Dolly Parton…

But $100 millions ?

I have full faith She will likely do great things with the “windfall”, but shit, why not give $100 millions to national food banks? Why not every fucking school? Why not Veterans?

For crying out loud, man! Why give it to someone who has everything?

Be. Practical.
Help millions, not one (even if the one will do something good)!!! FFS!

This ain't no Bush administration!

Love me some Joe! Out in front of Ian.

Millions of liters of water waiting to be distributed according to ABC footage I watched. The footage was devastating. Joe Biden featured at FEMA HQ to warn of the loss of life expected.

Dark Brandon does it again!

Dems care.
