Unfortunately the world is full of stupid people. Wonder how they will go when emergency services start to refuse to enter certain area's. Bloody mugs if you ask me.

One part of me wishes that we could still put people in public Stocks for such behaviour. They could be joined by those who spray graffiti, shop lift, drink drive etc.

As the article mentioned those fools would be the first to complain if it was their own loved ones in trouble.

With the RFS we have encountered people getting upset because they had to move their cars out of the way to let our tanker through and stopped them enjoying their view of the fire.

The world is just getting weirder by the day.

Strange but true,

I seen traffic cops abused trying to make crash scene's safe for Ambo's and the like to get in and do what they need to do.

It just makes you wonder?

But remember, when you put your eye to the eyepiece, it all goes away!

Yep, society is fast becoming out of control. We were talking about this only last night.
Road rage when tryinh to merge entering a freeway, people pushing in queues, lack of service in most shops, the list goes on.

However, there is hope........just look at some overseas countries where they still respect the elderly and people in general.

Yes I know, my old man used to be a volunteer ambo but it just got too unpredictable. I guess thats another sad effect of this type of behaviour, people will stop serving the community and it will all end up being a bit on the nose. Whatever happened to good will amongst men???

Ahahaha! Are you serious? These fools became cranky because you guys were trying to gain access to the fire and actually do something about it?

Oh dear

Sad but true Michael, luckily it doesn't happen very often.

The public in general are quite good and very helpful in the majority of incidents.
