Father Mulcrone Letter (UPDATE)
The Fire Department Chaplain is outraged and he puts it in words (click for larger version):
He puts into words, far better than we did, the outrage every decent person (and especially every first responder) should have regarding the casual disrespect shown to our brothers and sisters on the fire side.
This guy is now our third favorite sky pilot after Father Dan and Rabbi Wolf.
UPDATE: A half-assed apology offered:
This guy is now our third favorite sky pilot after Father Dan and Rabbi Wolf.
UPDATE: A half-assed apology offered:
- Ald. Maria Hadden (49th) is apologizing to the Chicago Firefighters Union Local 2 for her chief of staff’s “insensitive” Twitter takedown of Ald. Jim Gardiner (45th) that ended up infuriating rank-and-file firefighters.
[...]
“She’s sorry. It was a stupid comment. She wasn’t really thinking. We’ve been in communication with Local 2 making sure [they understand]. She’s making a written statement of apology,” Hadden said
“She worked for Ald. Arena. It’s politics. Leftover hard feelings with the election results. Sometimes, people let their emotions get the best of them . . . She wasn’t trying to put down the firefighters. It was an insult aimed at Gardiner. Their personal, leftover things from their dealings in the 45th Ward.”

Outstanding Father !!!
Nice job, padre. Thank you.
Thank you Father for taking action!
Father MULCRONE - May the Almighty grant you many more years helping fire-fighters and all first responders.
Good Lord thank you for giving CFD and CPD some of the kindest and supportive Chaplains. All faiths and races are covered and any great Chaplain in the unit has always been there for us all.
I am retired CPD, if you brothers and sisters from CFD need a body to help you protest the scum who said this, please put out a notice. The mayor needs to speak up on this. If not for CFD, CPD, and family, she would have been defeated.
Thanks SCC, you never stop reporting true news.
That was GREAT! But the person who should really be outraged is Mayor Lightfoot. The person who said this is a city worker and former employee of John Arena, who she just gave a made up job to during a “hiring freeze.” If Lightfoot wants change and to bring people together, then the last thing she needs is this crap. Aren’t you sick of this Lori? You said you were during your campaign.
So Lightfoot is ok with this horrible language directed at her first responders???? Wow! Such a reformer. Bringing people together, right? Hahahahaha
The police and fire need to get together and organize. The far left has taken over this city as well as other major cities and are working on the national scene. If we are just going to whine and write about the political injustices then nothing is going to change. This alderwoman and the mayor need some major protests. But someone had to lead, one person can’t do it, and whether it’s the fire union or any of the police unions they have the power to do it. The teachers are organized why can’t we be? I am retired from CPD and would gladly come in for any kind of a protest. And thank you Father Mulcrone for writing the letter and all of the service you gave to the members of the CFD.
10 years I went into an aldermans office to mention something to him— when I saw the slug who worked there doing her nails. I thought to myself— she don’t care, neither would the alderscum. I looked up how much she made, she was making similar to what I made at the time.
Bitches like that are a dime a dozen in this city. They hate law enforcement and now their true colors are coming out about other first responders. Disgusting that politicians employ these type of people, but to be expected as most seem to feel the same way.
AMEN!!!!
Perhaps releasing the full extent of how an alleged joke made by an alderman's aide resulting in this harsh letter from the chaplain should have been laid out in it's entirety here?
He already should have been your number 3 sky pilot.
That’s right hold them accountable just like they do the police. We want consequences. Dig all you can (complimentary and disciplinary history).
Both contingents of Chicago’s Finest and Bravest first responders are fortunate to have our great Chaplain’s Units.
Thanks again to SCC for reminding us of our fortunate situation.
May God bless and watch over all our first responders and their families.
Amen 🙏🏼
I like how he told her fuck you in a nice way. God bless first responders.
Amen!
Thank you!!
There should be hoards of letters like these going out. I guess we are appreciated by very few. I’m thankful for the few that do.
With all due respect to Father Mulcrone, does he or anybody else really think that these leftists give a rats ass about what a man of the cloth says? He's just another enemy to them.
Unfortunately, ours is a world of snarki-ness and passive aggressive-ness.
Far too many seek to fill a room with laughter than to inform or educate
A very eloquent and spot on letter. Thank you,
Ret. CPD Det.
To: Alderassholes Everwhere
From: Not a Commie , Leftist or Socialist
Subject: Best hiring practices
Hey, try hiring people that aren't assholes. Hey , aforementioned bitch employee, go visit a burn unit someday.
Oh, and by the way. Go fuck yourself you nasty filth.
God bless him! Wow clergy ACTUALLY standing! Let's all stand up for decency, respect, especially for all our responders, and integrity.
Thanks SCC for publishing this flawless letter.
God bless our blue and clergy too.
Is there a more despicable group of people on this planet than leftist politicians and their supporters?
Portland Oregon is a lefty run dump of a city that is in constant turmoil. Chicago is on a fast track to become the New Portland of the midwest. When the people who provide the first responder services are vilified and demeaned the slide has been greased and the city they represent is going down into the tank of disorder. Face it boys and girls the politicians in this city and County don't care about you.
when you've pissed off a man of the cloth...you know you done messed up
Hopefully, Cardinal Soup itch will not punish the good Father for speaking up. After all, only his beloved fr faker is allowed to speak out.
Any FF out there,has local 2 come out with a response?
and the alderman response is...... Silence
ore loves every minute of it. Anything or anyone that drives the wedge innkeeper is just fine with her. Bet she told alderman to give the bitch a raise.
Great job thank you father, how to make this a winner the mayor should look into terminating that punk that is working for the Alderman, you said she can’t do that all she have to do is stop her salary which you could easily sign off on and then she needs to fire that Waste of space Johnny also get rid of him. The mayor is proving that she is just like any other mayor she lied saying we have no money then hire Johnny that is really really terrible shows a terrible example of house or management style is just lies like the rest of the Democrats
I've known Fr. Tom for many,many years. I believe his brother was state police years back. He is a great man of God and was never afraid to get his hands dirty.
Democrats all of a sudden like whistleblowers. Hopefully one will expose this so called representative of the city.
Great work Father!!!
Dear Lord. It’s unthinkable that a city employee, especially one working for an elected official, could get away with saying something so vile and painful . She needs to be removed from the city payroll immediately. This mayor will hopefully not be re-elected. Hiring Arena after he was roundly defeated is such a huge screw you to the voters. And yes, thanks Joyce. You helped give Chicago this hateful mayor. God bless Fr. Mulchrone and our CFD . God bless our police officers. 🙏
How anyone can joke about being burned, no matter what job they have is just sickening, burns are the most horrific off injuries and are often permenant. for this POS to joke about someone being burned, especially a FIRST RESPONDER.... she should be terminated immediatly, but in Chicago that will never happen.
Tom Mulcrone has, unfortunately, been retired for several years. Nonetheless, a good guy.
We should protest that office, stop traffic, burn tires in the street, turn over parked cars, break store front windows , oh yeah and let’s take whatever the fuck we want . Now that’s a protest !!
Bravo to the Chaplain. The woman deserved a good bitch-slapping.
Nothing is going to happen
Father Mulcrone, thank you very much for putting into words what every first responder wanted to say, but didn’t for fear of retaliation, a la John Arena.

It has been previously. Or Google is your friend.
Thank You Father. ♠️
Why would Groot care? She was cold busted insulting a member of FOP and showed no actual remorse for it.
Leslie’s post should be sent to something like Yahoo news to let the rest of the country see what Chicago is dealing with.
Nice letter Father, but do you really think anything is going to happen to this woman? Not a chance. The media won't touch this story and this woman will continue on, spewing hatred and bigotry much to the delight of the socialist, police hating aldercreature.
AGREED !! Mayor LL should take the lead on this and ask Perkins to leave this city!
On another note, the staff, students and parents came together to oust Walt Disney Magnet School principal
who was labeled a “BULLY”.
From the Scum-times; A petition calling for Hagstrom`s resignation has 1400 plus signatures, alleging the principal
has created a toxic work environment for teachers and students.
"The mental anguish many of the staff members at Walt Disney Magnet School have felt is unspeakable.
Toxic Environment is what’s taking place in CPD right now !! From the Top down...
Take for example the “BULLY” of the 007th district and his “Napoleon” complex creating a toxic environment.
It’s time to STOP the bullying !!
God bless him.
Nicely done.
Outstanding! God bless EVERY SINGLE first responder and their families!
great letter father , as an italian american ,cpd, vet and catholic i greatly appeciate it
its all part of the obama soros plan to destroy white christian america. first you destroy the military then you go after the police
Way to go.
Spot on.
Nice letter, but do really think the person it was sent to gives a rat’s ass. Wake up already.
The best protest would be to "shake the boot" for Burn Camp outside Hadden's office.
How to handle demons 101.
Fuck these piece of shit politicians, from the mayor on down!!
I say get a group of first responders to picket that aldermans office demanding this bitches firing. She has no business working for city government
She'll probably get promoted by Lightfoot. CFD is an evil patriarchy that represents toxic masculinity or some shit like that.
P.s. maybe we all should consider writing a similar letter each and every time anything like this happens. .. maybe FOP or Rev. Mulcrone can draft a letter for each instance (and because we're coppers) blank copies can be available at each unit were all you need to do is insert your name and unit address (need not put your home address). Hell, place a tip jar and everyone can also "donate" a buck or two to the chaplains office with each letter. Win, Win for both
Not only that, we're going to fly Morrissey in by private jet
to stand outside your office and sing depressing songs
until you finally surrender and issue an apology and get
rid of that employee who shall remain nameless.

Yes it was an eloquent Fuck You
Liberal double speak for... you are expendable. They will make up an excuse for her..”what she reallyMeant was”. Thank you father for calling them out.
Good, it’s only right to stand up to these arrogant and thoughtless twits.
Now don’t hold your breath expecting someone having to issue a disingenuous apology for her repugnant tweet, like the one delivered by clown LightLoafer.
Nasty behavior is a rewarded in those circles.
Separate rules for progressive city employees and elected.
Imagine sitting in a Ward Office, drinking coffee, laughing about getting paid for nothing, sometimes getting angry at the peasants that call about garbage cans. All in all, life is good. Then a couple hundred firemen show up picketing for a few hours.
Funny how the Chaplains have more stones then the unions
Liberal double speak for... you are expendable. They will make up an excuse for her..”what she reallyMeant was”. Thank you father for calling them out.
If they only new how hard it is to lose a family member that made the ultimate sacrifice for this city.
Whats the difference what this sicko did then Tom Dart mimicking a mentally handicap person describing his officers to laughing college students. He wont lose his job and neither will she.
Long time listener, first time caller. I’m curious to see the tweet, I couldn’t find anything online about it. God bless CPD and CFD!!!
this leslie piece of scum should be fired immediately and never be allowed a job in any government office.
Honestly both cpd and cfd priests are better then are bosses
Nothing is gonna happen and if he loses our support it doesn’t
Matter to him we are the worst voting block in the city
And let’s face it votes are what counts to him he is sitting
Back laughing and saying I’m not getting rid of her
She blows me anytime I want so fuck police and
Fire
Best. Chaplain. Letter. Ever.
This is the response I received from Maria Hadden, after explaining to her that her employees statements were more than likely made from a taxpayer provided computer and/or a cell phone that the city reimburses:
"Thank you for reaching out to share your concerns. I can assure you that Ms. Perkins' statements were made on her own time and using her own personal devices.
Thank you,
Maria Hadden
Alderwoman
49th Ward"
Is it me, or does it sound like Alderwoman Maria Hadden is A-Okay with the comments and actions of John Arenas' side-skank?
Give 'em hell Father!
Another bitch slap from City Hall. Hey Lightfoot, here is just another example of your Aldermen and women, including their handpicked staff, publicly representing their office. By extension they are representing City Hall. More disrespect from thieves, liars and purveyors of corruption.
Your first six months in office have been turbulent and chaotic. Can't wait to see what other hot messes come up in the next six months. In the meantime where is the accountability for these outrageous comments. Where's the reckoning that you always speak of, especially when its first responders.
Thanks to the Fire Department's Sky Pilot for bringing it forward to all concerned. We want accountability and a reckoning for the feeble minded employee. City Hall and its continued corrupt reputation and parade of indicted and convicted felons is a stain on Chicago.
Nothing changes in City Hall no matter who sits on the 5th floor. It truly is the Chicago Way.
Not at all surprised- Father Mulcrone comes from a Cop Family:
- his Grandfather, Peter, was a CPD Sgt
- Father, Ed, was a CPD Lieutenant
- late brother Laurence was an IL State Police Lt. Colonel
- brother Michael was a Sgt with Palatine
- brother Jim was an NCIS Special Agent
- sister Ellen was a CPD Documents Examiner.
Great Family- Father Tom is a great guy.
Thank you father for a lovely letter.
And “serious consequences” meaning FIRED. No lateral moves. No hiding spot somewhere else. FIRED. As in GONE.
—-not a cop

A true man of the cloth like him, yes.
Not so much with the play RevRuns though.
A half wit pos apologizes but does not fire this moron, more of the same just means the alderthief is for this kind of talk:
Freshman feud: Ald. Maria Hadden apologizes over top aide’s Twitter takedown of Ald. Jim Gardiner that infuriated firefighters
https://chicago.suntimes.com/city-hall/2019/10/8/20904959/city-council-aldermen-maria-hadden-49th-ward-jim-gardiner-45th-ward-firefighters
Wait so her chief of staff obviously speaks fpor the office and for this aldergoof correct and refusing to fire her shows the weakness and sanctioning of this type of inflammatory language!
OT

nothing to imagine,,, some ward workers give shitty service,,, then laugh at giving shitty service,,,, like in 18th ward
That POS alderman already is glossing it over, saying it’s being handled internally and she’s not going to fire her.
Grout called her and asked if she would be interested in heading the CFD and CPS contract negotiations.
Going to take more than a well written letter. Tar and feathers come to mind. Maybe a Burning effigy would be a good idea. Hope their office is fireproof because it will take the CFD a long time to respond there if called. Karma is a real bitch and Leslie is just spitting in Karmas face.
Retired CFD. Spent many a bad night watching this man of god ministering not only to the victims but those who responded to the horrors. Bless you Father Tom and go well into your retirement. Leslie- you will not amount to a boil on this man's ass.
Great job by the padre. On another note the tribune has once again come up with ground breaking investigative journalism. It has uncovered vast police illegal parking misconduct. Which former asshole alderman is behind the scandal in 019 off duty police parking and going to the cubs game, hmm.
The only job action that I am aware of, that got anyone’s attention occurred in 1972. It was a ticket blitz everything and everyone got written, no sacred cows. Daley the first and the bosses were in a panic. It got to be so that each tour the w/c had to check your.ticket books to see if you were off your beat. Lasted about a week, all the big shots and pols were screaming for relief. They want tickets give them to them. Start by writing the operation push meeting on Saturday, then hammer flaggers flock write everything downtown. They hate
the police so who gives a shit. Something has to be done or they are going to keep chipping away at you. The other job action that was fun but we ultimately got screwed was when at the COP meeting we hung Daley the first in effigy. He retaliated by not give us any raise. Not smart but we were together.
It’s very simple, there is a battle between good and evil in society. Right now there is a very well funded attack on American values by the Left (particularly George Soros) and it’s awful tentacles have even spread to local Chicago politics. It’s very very simple pick a side.
Like telling her to go to Hell and having her looking forward to the trip. Nice.
Mulcrone should appear on Windy City Live
and 'splain things around here
Met Father once, If he wasn't on the fire side, he'd be the real police.
Thank you father for having your flocks back.
6:44am; You are correct. Larry was ISP and later served with IL Liquor Control and McPier Authority prior to his passing.
Retired .38 spl +P
Normally I'd say that trying to get someone fired over a questionable joke is a severe over-reaction. But given that the SJW faction behind it loves getting people fired over less egregious things said decades ago, in an entirely different time and place, I'll just say that what goes around comes around and enjoy the show. They asked for it by name...
I guess the IG can find issues with coppers parking around venues but he couldn't find cheating on a Lt Test that was smack dab in front of him! SMH
Fire her ass...
Huh?
What?
Isn't this the shut-down/shout-down/make 'em shut up
dox 'em/get 'em fired culture embraced by the leftist
lynch mob?
Or is it they don't like being made
to drink the nasty stuff they brew
for everybody else?
Fire her ass...
(real police)
Nothin' like a Padre with a Glock
Any response from father Flager?
Treat the run to her office or home like a change of quarters.
So everything should be fine now?
It’s just like Groot’s FOP clown comment. They can say anything they want with impunity but there will be hell to pay if a copper posts an insensitive comment.
...peasants...
You got that right. No matter which city---Alderman,
Ward Chairman, ect.----they bask in the glow that you
voted for them and are safe for 4 years.
Went into one of these neighborhood offices. Afternoon
visit. The side room (behind the counter) reeked of beer
so bad it smelled like a bar. Of course, Honcho was not
there, but he had a (sober) staff to deal with the peasants.
We had one who thought he was set for life. Until the FBI
invited him over to a rented storefront in another neighborhood
and showed him about 2 yrs worth of photos posted on the walls.
He caved instantly.
Asshat Arena and POS Perkins should share residency in one of the units of the Section 8 bullshit they corruptly put underway. Then, they shall never call “911” under any circumstance due to their contempt of first responders.
These commie bitches aka, As Sores flaming asshole, will see the unleashing of the silent majority of good people of the city.
Even the Russians have found God. These crooks alder-thieves like the mutt arena will run from the city. He has more skeletons and sooner or later he will be standing in front of a U.S Judge.
CFD doesn't talk shit, they are total MEN of action. These alleged elected officials are rabid and worthless unless throeing more $$$ at the mutts and their social program.
The Cardinal is a commie and has no love for the people that built the churches in the city. Pleger has been silent. Must have taken a two month's vacation on some island with the city provided bodyguards. Maybe Fat head Ed joined him.
God bless you Father Tom and all the real deal Chaplains of CFD and CPD.

Feel free to leave a comment for Leslie here. Leslie herself has taken away the ability for anyone to leave comments on her FB page. I wonder why???
In other words, Perkins, radical socialist Hadden, Lori racist have more clout than anyone. It’s proven now these radical anti American socialists do whatever they want and are totally protected by this pos mayor. She has to be forced to resign.
The Alderwoman's standing with Police, police families and friends will be non-existent too.

Perhaps Local 2 might want to share this with the National Union and International Union.
Put the "heat" on Leslie and this Ald Hadden. Let them feel the pressure of the type that Leslie placed on first responders and other city employees that voiced their 1st Ammend. rights before Leslie decided to file formal complaints on them.
What comes around goes around.
"It’s politics. Leftover hard feelings with the election results."
Well, why didn't you say so? Just a big misunderstanding.

Read an article in this mornings paper. CTU wants affordable housing to be included in their contract. Affordable housing in a teacher contract? Thats what happens when you allow the CTU to previously allow them the power to inckudw things in the contract that doesn’t directly affect the teachers. They think they run the CPS
Groot always looks so miserable. Never seen her smile.
IG was told NOT to find any fault with the LT. Exam. Unfortunately NOTHING will become of it. Just like the string of cheaters years ago. It’s the Chicago way. Either cheat or “merit” your way to promotion. Most merits are boxes of rocks, hence, that’s why they can’t score on an exam. The connected always win.
First Nyberg, now Perkins. Arena really surrounded himself with winners.
