I hope he is found unharmed and in no way do I mean to insult Chicago's hardworking public servants.
I just can't help but notice that when there's no shooting, assault or robbery involved, suddenly the media doesn't hesitate to provide a detailed description...

============
A big guy in orange pants ought to be easy to spot.
He is found
Prayers for the fireman and his family for a safe return.
How come the media can or will say black male when its a victim. But when it comes to inform the public about offenders they will not say the race of the offender. All we get is "several unruly teens "robbing and beating people or "a male with a white shirt "raped the woman or just "males " shooting and killing....
That is not the best place to run errands.
I gotta find Bubba!!!!
People ha've been known to temporarily disappear in las Vegas. Hero is home safe
Is it a requirement for ALL off duty CFD to wear Cfd nonsense; logo hat, logo shirt, plates, stickers etc.. ?
He was found yesterday evening, he is ok
He's back home.
As fellow Chicago "First Responders" we pray for a successful outcome.
I pray you are home safe soon.
I think I saw him at chuck e cheese?

Of course it is, how else would anyone know that they are heros. CPD Boys and girls in blue are the unsung heros.
Your not a real fireman unless you own at least three red vehicles all with the CFD logo on the rear window and a CFD license plate frame.
union sticker on car is for arking around firehouses,the other stuff is just to get chicks!

>>I gotta find Bubba!!!!<<
That's Hilarious!!!!
Now if he were a criminal on the run the Tribune wouldn't deem his race important and would excise it from the story. But if he's a "good guy who's missing" then race is very important and worth mentioning. I'll never grasp the Chicago Tribune's selective oddness.
Don't know him heard he is home safe thank God!!

I think it's actually a requirement.
I'm a cop and I always wear CFD stuff. They're cool, have great graphics and there's a new one every few weeks. CPD T-s are the same old same old. Me and my dad own the same exact items and he bought his thirty yrs ago. I'd get a red truck too if CFD didn't already hog them all up.
Maybe they always wear CFD stuff in case they get kidnapped. If Ramirez is the standard of current CPD bosses on deck, kidnapping and abduction victims will need all the identifying clothing they can find.
Heard Bubba finally surfaced...anyone know what happened?

Sounds like you and Pop's may have chose the wrong careers. That's just weird.
