There was a time when lazy fools like this wouldn’t have even qualified for a city job. But with affirmative action policies, skin color quotas and all…
A Channel 9 investigation uncovered that Orlando city workers’ lunch breaks were lasting hours. When cameras showed up, they scattered and only Channel 9 has the video that’s launched a major investigation at city hall.The workers were supposed to be fixing potholes and improving road drainage, instead they were playing cards. Eyewitness Bob Howard says he’s seen the crews out at Roosevelt Martin Park for at least the past six months.
“They’re out here for approximately three hours. Then they do something else and they roll out,” says Howard.
Channel 9 cameras caught the roads and drainage crews five different times. And even though the crews only get a half-hour lunch break, they were almost always out longer. One water truck once spent two and a half hours at the park. His co-workers were there over two hours several times. (Source)
As I got toward the end of the article, I anticipated the obvious consequence of such stupidity: termination. But that’s my fantasy-world silliness. I temporarily forgot this is the government we’re talking about, an incubator of incompetence:
[C]ity workers Donnel Cooper and Donald Graham received three-day suspension along with two other men, while Eric Linton received a one-day suspension.
Of course if they were fired, the inevitable cry of “Racism!” would be heard far and wide. Such idiotic behavior plays right into all the negative stereotypes about blacks as lazy, shiftless, and not to mention stupid for getting caught on tape.
