Erie county fair drops veterans and firefighter parades due to past issues

[Saltwater60]

Funny I’ve lived close to the fair for going on 42 years now and I’ve never heard of issues. I know more than a few cops that have worked the fair and never heard of complaints. Maybe I’m wrong, but seems like more woke bullshit to me.

HAMBURG, N.Y. (WIVB) — The firefighters and veterans parades that have been a staple of the Erie County fair are coming to a halt this year, along with the annual camp-out on fair property. O…

Who complains about a firefighter or veteran parade? That's like the least offensive thing ever. A parade surrounding those that fight for America and those that will head into burning buildings to rescue people.

“And I know people are pushing me for those examples, but honestly, Abby, I’m not going to give them. They are embarrassing for everybody.” so say the man!

It's offensive for people who are too chickenshit to do anything requiring courage.

They see it as a personal insult "Here are some fine examples of people who will do the right thing at great personal risk".

Karen McVirtusignal takes that as a personal insult.

My parents lived close by to the fair grounds and my kid brother was a 40 year volunteer in two of the departments that serve the fairgrounds. So my parents and brother had access to the scanners that cover that area including fire and police. I've heard of all the fairground gossip but never this.

 

[BerettaGuy]

I'll bet they would gladly have a Gay Parade though.

OK. Let the fair flop miserably. Let them lose money. Let them wallow in their PC.

The people really making these decisions don't care.

It's not their money.

Just like the people who ran the fast ferry into the ground were laughing all the way to the bank.

The rich get that way a lot more often by destroying good things than they do building them.

Good to know and backs up what I have heard as well.

Agreed. They claim they have had issues in the past associated with the clientele at the parades, but I have never heard of it and as far as I know the news has never reported on it.

Apparently the problem scene at the pride parades aren’t embarrassing though.

the show must go on .. make it a protest now ..

what are they going to do suspend or fire all the firemen

 

[holdover]

You think all those vets , fire fighters will drop a dime there now? That just cost them a lot of money.

In the past fire companies and first aid squads have volunteered to be on site at the fair for immediate response to emergencies. The crews would be there with their equipment sucking coffee all day, all night. Good PR for volunteer fire departments. My kid brother would hang there off hours from his day job during fair week.

It were there issue? I’m talking legal issues enough to shut the parades down? I’ve never heard of any.

 

[Cooolone]

Is bullshit... If they allow ANY to parade, they just allow all! Otherwise it's discriminatory, period! Sue their fucking asses off! Fuck em'

 

[Defilade]

Looks like the "Fair Officials" are a bunch of Karen's.

 

[Drinkthekoolaid]

I live near the fair... I've never heard of anything too bad other than a few guys having a few too many dad pops but that can happen anywhere for any event.

So, sadly, it seems once again there is an unwarranted knee jerk reaction to a non problem

Except for thefts and gang violence.

I meant the firefighters and veterans. The worst I've ever heard is a few of them might have a couple too many drinks and that's it. But that can be anyone anywhere at any event I can't recall ever hearing an issue about it or being a problem.




Lol but another discussion would be the Carneys and fair clientele. My buddy did overnight security there during the fair while he was going to school for criminal justice and there were stories.... Lots of sleez off hours at the fair to put it mildly.

I was just being my sarcastic jerky self saying that they blame the veterans and and firefighters and ignore real criminals sorry if you took that wrong.

It's clearly that AngryCops guy with his party truck. He seems like a real troublemaker!
