It is INCREDIBLE that some people are belittling firefighters! The Lititz area is served by VOLUNTEER firefighters. These men and women use their free time to respond to situations that threaten life and property. They risk their own lives to save others. Also, they have to raise money/take time off from their paying jobs to serve others. Those that imply Lititz area firefighters are arsonists with low IQ's should really be ashamed of themselves.

I am troubled by the Greg Nies case. Why did the young girl wait 8 years before bringing these allegations?? My own wife and some sisters are victims of abuse by an older brother, so I am not totally unfamilar with these issues.

I am also troubled by those who say Nies must be guilty. Otherwise, why would he be facing these charges? I would hate for my life/freedom to be in the hands of people with such attitudes.

I have a daughter, son, many nieces and nephews, and am an English teacher for many kids about the age of the girl bringing these accusations. I couldn't conceive of any situation in a billion years where I would do anything of the nature of the crimes that Greg Nies is accused of. I truly believe ALL kids are precious.

God help us all for what we are doing to our kids--and each other!!!

To be clear, I don't think the average firefighter has a low IQ. I was referring to the ones who self-identify as firefighters when they come swooping into TalkBack and open their very first post in a story about some horrid incident with:

"Youze better all shut your fat pie holes cause you don't no wut happined like I do!!!!!! If yooze cant show some respekt than you shuld shut up and get yer dumb butts outta here!!!"

It just gets tired, and frankly makes the smarter firefighters look bad.

Actually citydweller last time i checked i don't remember speaking like that. Maybe in the redneck part of the city you live in maybe you talk like that but no where in my post did i talk like that. Second you don't know what happened. Third when the hell did i say i knew what happened??? I don't think in my post i said i know what happened. An what if i did know what happened what does it matter to you? Everyone on Talkback seems to think they are a critic. Even you citydweller with your redneck rendition of my post earlier. So how bout you point your finger somewhere else pal.

This isn't just Lititz Firefighters this is all firefighters. Not all firefighters are arsonists. Only the ones pretending to be firefighters do these kinds of things

how bout this anyone who doesn't know the full story shutup. Because honestly can sit at you computer with your googly eyes all over the monitor and say 100% that you know it happened. Chances are no because unless your the cop that made the arrest then you don't know anything. So how bout everyone just shutup.


Close enough.
