Someone should really just end these guys. They are a stain in the underpants of america.

Should have paid the $75 fee I guess :)

[sleepydsm]

Why didn't they just pay the fee to begin with?

[A//// Guy]

I agree with Beck and Grey. Pay a fee imposed to protect your house or bye bye it goes.

Because they expected someone else to do it, personal responsibility is out of vogue these days. I bet they also called their insurance guy to hurry up and put insurance on their house because they didn't see a need for that in advance either.

We've seen this same thing in our association. We send countless letters asking for the yearly dues to cover needed expenses, and then all of the sudden when those people who tell us they're not paying need our signature to build a deck, they hurry up and make the minimum quarterly payment of $75 to build a $10k deck.

If they have to pay the fire department $75 per whatever, then why is it that we pay taxes? Why do states put aside money for police/fire departments in their budgets? These are government departments that are run by the state and city governments, and should not be required additional money that is not called a tax. We pay for roads, police, fire, education etc etc etc. Why dont they charge for public education? oh yeah because its a tax, and if you had to pay extra it would be considered a Private School.
The one side is the $75 fee, the other side is that beck and grey mock the family even though they lost their house, their memories, their pets etc, yet beck calls himself a good mormon, Sorry buddy but true religious people do not tread all over those less fortunate, or people that have just had a tradgedy happen. its like what was said in the article, "Whats next, beck going to make fun of Cancer patients, Abused homeless children?" Just pure heartless....
I really hope you do not have to face what this family has faced, by watching their house burn to the ground while others with the means to fix the problem stand aside.
But tell me, Was it the families fault that the fire was burning in the first place? (there was a grass fire that was spreading to the house). No it wasnt.
I am just sick of all of the heartlessness... its those people who are whats wrong with america today. Not the muslims, people who cant pay your bills, or the less fortunate, its YOU, its the idiots that sit in their houses and look down on those who are making due with the hand that was dealt them.

Sorry, Tom, but your buddy Gene Cranick is not a saint.

South Fulton Mayor David Crocker said city officials don’t want to see anyone’s house burn, but he emphasized that South Fulton has a city fire department which is supported by city taxes in order to serve its residents — with a rural fire subscription service made available outside the city limits to county residents in the city’s designated rural coverage area.
“We’re very sorry their house burned,” he said.
Mayor Crocker said if the fire department operated on a per-call basis outside the city, there would be no incentive for anyone to pay the rural fee. As an analogy, he said if an auto owner allowed their vehicle insurance to lapse, they would not expect an insurance company to pay for an unprotected vehicle after it was wrecked.

Consider it an involuntary fire insurance. Just as people on flood prone land can opt in for flood insurance, rural residents can pay for fire protection. This guy failed to do so and paid for it.

Tom, you're barking up the wrong tree once again.

I don't have time to listen to the transcript right now, but judging that it's coming from the puffington host, I wouldn't be surprised if it's taken out of context, or there's a lot more to the story. Everybody felt bad for balloon boy's father, until the whole story came out. I'm guessing this is a similar situation.

[Goat Blower]

This is run like an insurance deal. A lot of people pay in a small amount so that when a few need it, it's taken care of. The alternative would be to only charge those that need it after the fact, but that cost could easily be $1000, and I guarantee this Cranick guy wouldn't pay that either. He was adequately warned just as I thought, this was no surprise.

1) We pay for roads, police, fire, education etc etc etc. Why dont they charge for public education? oh yeah because its a tax, and if you had to pay extra it would be considered a Private School.

2) the other side is that beck and grey mock the family

3) I really hope you do not have to face what this family has faced, by watching their house burn to the ground while others with the means to fix the problem stand aside.
But tell me, Was it the families fault that the fire was burning in the first place? (there was a grass fire that was spreading to the house).
1) We do pay for improved public schools via property tax referendum. Residents are given a choice just like this guy/family was. He decided the $75 fee wasn't worth it to him; he took a gamble and now has to face the consequences of that decision just like parents do when they decide whether or not to increase funds for their children's school. In this case though, the choice was completely personal and not determined by the majority group so if anything he is even more to blame.

2) Yet it's ok for you to insult and wish death upon Beck and Grey?

3) He was offered protection for only $75 yet he decided against it. He has nobody to blame but himself. Time for people to take some personal accountability rather than trying to blame everyone but themselves.
