A Fitting Farewell to Two Brave Souls !!

A very,very sad day for Winnipeg and its long history of brave firefighters. With the tragic deaths of two Fire Brigade Captains, men in charge, it really brings home how are society protects those who protect us from harm. Firefighters, like police and emergency medical personnel, are at the front line of saving lives when anyone of them are tragically taken it really hits home. The aftermath of how do we punish the perpetrators of such wrong doing? Should we hang them such as with the intentional and malicious taking of human life Saddam did? Should we send them to a life behind bars with no chance of parole? Or in the unintended yet careless neglect of property should society see that they are placed on probation, as some have suggested? The argument gets deeper as it has come out that the blaze which claimed the life of the Captains was caused by smokers and their poor choice of putting out their ashes. Tragedy upon tragedy with human life being taken through human error. One thing is for sure the presence of the Federal Liberal Leader in paying respect to the families was a very decent human action and is applauded as the kind of positive leadership we need more of. The punishment for the smokers ? ..well the jury is out but I for one think some serious consequences should be administered. You can hear the heart felt, gut wrenching song, written and preformed at the Public Memorial, by their Fellow Firefighter by simply going to the link on my page at 92 CITI. Incidentally, Cosmo the Calgary Liberal and Afternoon Drive Guy is the one who interviewed the Firefighter and recorded the song live in 92 CITI studios.
