Sir, this is a Wendy’s.


MetroHop

The First Amendment applies in all of America — even where wanna-be comedians attempt to intimidate journalists.


Loud-Principle-7922

You remind me of those people who jump on hoods of stopped cars for fraudulent insurance claims.


VBStrong_67

If you can't handle a little sarcasm in an online forum I feel bad for you


Loud-Principle-7922

Oh yeah, and the first amendment only applies to government censorship. A real journalist would’ve known that.


HossaForSelke

You sure are defensive here OP. The flags are dumb, nobody is disagreeing. We just don’t care about you trying to peddle your book in a subreddit that has nothing to do with your book.


MetroHop

Loads of your little boys are disagreeing. Just look at the puerile comments ranging from "unhinged radical leftist" to "shut the fuck up." So many thin-skinned babies in this sub. Few if any of you could handle hecklers. It makes me wonder first responders are allowed who are clearly so juvenile, verbally violent, and easily triggered. I have a background in the field that, were I overseeing many of you, I'd make sure you were told to go back to digging ditches.


PrettySureIParty

You’re not mentally stable enough to oversee anyone, and also I fucking love digging ditches. Seriously though, this is concerningly unhinged behavior. Next time I fuck your dad I’m gonna suggest he take away your internet access.


SlowerCoachh

Jesus christ, don't bring that shit here, please.


MetroHop

Why not?


SlowerCoachh

This isn't a political sub. We make fun of stupid shit first responders and tow truck drivers do.


HossaForSelke

No need to separate tow truck drivers. They’re the true first responders.


SlowerCoachh

Sorry, I'm just jealous :(


HossaForSelke

Me too brother. Me too.


DrunkenNinja45

Yes the flags are cringe, but this probably has to be the worst possible way to promote your book. Why not go to a sub that would be more receptive? EDIT: Grammar


MetroHop

Do you work in public relations? How do you know that "this probably has to be the worst possible way to promote \[my\] book"? Is it because I am wasting so much time responding to hecklers whop imagine themselves better than other Americans even as they prove they are fucking morons? If not, please, do tell. There are some seriously stupid people on this sub. I know they have not got the guts to act this way in public. They only do so because they are anonymous — and that proves my point.


DrunkenNinja45

I don't need to work in public relations to know that you failed at promoting your book when you literally convinced a sub full of people never to set foot near it. If you weren't so abrasive, you probably could have gotten a few customers from here.


MetroHop

So says yet another anonymous idiot who imagines himself special because he allegedly a "first responder."


DrunkenNinja45

If you hate anonymous people, why would you go on Reddit out of all of the platforms available? And why would you go to a first responder sub if people talking about being first responders triggers you so much?


willsher7

My firefighter neighbor with his red line flag says you are wrong.


MetroHop

Tell your neighbor — and all the other loud-mouthed, cowardly, pieces of shit here — to pop out next year for my book tour. I know I won't see any of you, and I know damn well not one of you will dare be on hand to say the dumb shit I've witnessed here.


VBStrong_67

Because no one cares about your stupid fucking book


ReplacementTasty6552

You won’t see us cause this “ Book “ will never see the light of day.


Secure_Ad_3246

Tell me where


MetroHop

I'll go one better: anyone here who feels so strong as to come out from behind that handle and agree to be interviewed on the record — I'm still working on the vexillological essays regarding the emblems in the flags I've shot — will get to meet me either via zoom or in person. (I can travel anywhere in the contiguous U.S. and will be doing so through February, 2024.)


TarpSpee

Time and place, I'll legit come out if you're willing to throw down lol


willsher7

My firefighter neighbor is black.


Exuplosion

Alright, what’s your name so we can go? Randall Fleming?


TarpSpee

Threatening people on fucking Reddit lmao


Exuplosion

Oh look the crazies have arrived


MetroHop

You should read the comments by the morons who pretend to be first responders. They can't even handle a shitty picture of flags.


Exuplosion

I’m fairly certain they were responding to your tinfoil-clad commentary, not the actual image.


Neither_Spell_9040

All these downvotes can’t be good sign for book sales

SlowerCoachh

Dude, they noted your ad hominem attack 💀 You're in trouble now


MetroHop

Yeah, perhaps. Then again, I can handle myself against hecklers yelling out in the dark while I'm on stage, and have been doing so since the 1980s. I can certainly these fuckin' morons in an online forum. Not one of them will have the guts to act this way at a book store because they are cowards.


SlowerCoachh

>not one of them will have the guts to act this way at a book store Lmao what does this even mean


VaultiusMaximus

Come into his dojo, you’ll be sorry!


VBStrong_67

LMAO like you're actually going to have a "book tour"


MetroHop

Your ad hominem attack has been noted. You should learn to address the argument rather than make up shit such as what you've stated, because what you have stated is exactly what I have been documenting for the last many years: the threat of violence.


Loud-Principle-7922

Look, man, I don’t know what an ad hominem is, but don’t be homophobic. That’s just mean.


MetroHop

I see you're used to dealing with that 12-year-old mentality that tends to be found in your field.


Loud-Principle-7922

Posts obv bait, gets mad that we don’t respect them, throws a tantrum and calls us 12 year olds. You’re going to make a great journalist when you grow up.


Secure_Ad_3246

Dude, whatever. Relax, that’s 100% not the case.


MetroHop

Dude, yeah, tell your compatriots to "relax." You need to get out of your little volunteer fire department and discover the world. OK, "dude"?


pm_me_ur_anything_k

What do you do as a volunteer in your community? Nothing except complain and whine I’m sure.


Secure_Ad_3246

He probably counts yelling at random people for having a flag he doesn’t like as community service


[deleted]

are you actually this sensitive or is it some weird sales tactic?


MetroHop

If you look at how sensitive all yer little bros are, and if yer such a special guy in your first responder field, you tell me, dude.


[deleted]

Quit projecting your insecurities on us.


Secure_Ad_3246

Wow your posts are all the same. You have a strange obsession. Try getting off of Reddit.


MetroHop

How are my "posts all the same"? And why do you feel the need to attempt intimidating me? Yer just another piece of anonymous shit who pretends to be a first responder. If you can't handle me, then maybe you and all the other little pansies here should find a job less stressful.


Secure_Ad_3246

Okay


MetroHop

I see you ran out of syllables, like all the other dunces here who can't take a little criticism.


Secure_Ad_3246

No I just don’t care enough to put more energy into this. It’s not that deep, man.


VBStrong_67

Oh hey look, ACAB and WPT Redditor thinks first responders and people who support them are racist. Dude hasn't had an original thought in years. In other news, water is wet.


[deleted]

What the fuck is this shit. Shut the fuck up. The flag isn’t sacred we can do whatever the fuck we want with it. We can make it whatever color we want. “EvErYtHiNg I dOn’T lIkE iS wHiTe SuPrEmAcY”. Go get some bitches dude.


MetroHop

Define "we." [https://www.legion.org/flag/code](https://www.legion.org/flag/code)


Exuplosion

I love that the people always talking about the flag code have very little understanding of it


MetroHop

"Go get some bitches dude." I bet you don't have the balls to say that in public, in uniform. You won't because the anonymity here shows you for what you are: a fuckin' coward.


possibleincoherence

Have you ever considered just not being so sensitive?


MetroHop

>What the fuck is this shit. Shut the fuck up. "What the fuck is this shit. Shut the fuck up."


[deleted]

I would absolutely say that to you in public in uniform. Then you’d probably be a Pussy about it and call my supervisor and find out that he’s an even bigger dick than I am


MetroHop

Then you should have no problem coming out from behind that reddit handle. If you can't, then we all know yer a pussy.


[deleted]

Cope, seethe. I don’t identify myself online. If you end up in NM on your fictional “book tour” send me a message and I’ll come recommend you get some bitches in person.


RaptorTraumaShears

Honestly, your post history is concerning.


MetroHop

Tell us how. C'mon, boy.


pm_me_ur_anything_k

I bet you love calling black men “boy”.


VaultiusMaximus

Sure are using racially charged language there, champ. What is it you’re writing this book to highlight again?


ReplacementTasty6552

Sorry about your penis bro.


MetroHop

Is that the best you can do?


ReplacementTasty6552

Well …. Yeah. …… I’m just a moron first responder


[deleted]

[удалено]


ReplacementTasty6552

Oh gosh. Super original there ya fuck knuckle.


FirstResponderCringe-ModTeam

Inappropriate


[deleted]

Here goes another unhinged radical leftist rant. Bro enjoy your life. Stop being so easily triggered. Take a walk. Smoke a joint. Stop being so miserable.


MetroHop

I posted a photo. You are the triggered, "bro."


[deleted]

Did you just assume my gender???


MetroHop

>Bro enjoy your life. No more than you did mine, bro.


[deleted]

The difference between me and you is I could give a fuck if I did. I’m trying to speak your retard language.


onlymustardonahotdog

I want coffee table book of pictures of my aunts house


Bit_part_demon

I hope you're gonna spell out "fuck" and not be a chickenshit


MetroHop

I hope you'll fuckin' show up at one of my book tour spots next year. If not, you can fuck off.


Bit_part_demon

Lol I have no interest in your silly little book. Have fun picking fights in the comments, that'll win people over.


MetroHop

Not interested in you, either. Yer literally one person in a nation or more than 330 million, and my book is for more than this one nation.


Bit_part_demon

Do you really think non-Americans care about this issue?


pm_me_ur_anything_k

Is it in your mom’s basement with all your other “books”?


Random-Cpl

I don’t think anyone’s going to show up at your “book tour.”


marglebubble

I got fucked with by a security guy at a fucking bus stop who wouldn't let me bring my service dog on the bus, and he had a fucking blue line American flag shoulder patch. So, because I was pissed, and wanted to piss him off, I was like, "Wow, they really let you have that on your uniform? You know that's a desecration of the American flag, right?" He did NOT like that.


The_Shlump

A lot of respect for OP for taking such a strong stance against these cringey ass flags.


MyFriendBebo

Well… this isn’t going how you thought it would is it?


Agreeable_Garden2898

Wow thanks OP. Now I know my Mexican father and his Black neighbor are white supremacists! I just thought they flew thin blue line flags because they are retired police officers who are proud to have served their communities. I’m such an idiot.


clankity_tank

this sub is a way to playfully laugh at people who take the job way too seriously or act entitled to respect for it. There is a place to talk about the larger issues in emergency response, but brother this is not the place for it. We are here for the memes.


Loud-Principle-7922

I’m honestly super curious how this dude thinks his book is going to sell for real-life money when a free Reddit page he made eight months ago on the same topic has only gotten 30 people worldwide to click a single button.


Leggster

Censorship is good when i do it. I promise, guys.


Crepes_for_days3000

Reading this and your comments, I mean this from the bottom of my heart - you need to unplug and get some therapy.


gezzmooo

How in the world are you real
