LINK Bowling Green (KY) Fire Dept. Settles Lawsuit with Atheist Whistleblower | Hemant Mehta | Friendly Atheist | Patheos

In 2016, atheist Jeffrey Queen filed an unbelievable lawsuit against the city of Bowling Green (Kentucky) based on what he witnessed while working for the fire department.

The lawsuit only came after his complaints were ignored, some by Deputy Chief Dustin Rockrohr (also named in the lawsuit), and after he was formally discharged.

I watched @Wildgreens video earlier "Do I Deserve Eternal Torture". Plenty of it applies to this story.

So let me get this straight, he is discriminated against, threatened by rank and file and also the leadership. And their punishment is taxpayers pay damages? Seems like if I were a taxpayer there, I would want changes that eliminate this liability.

Level 9

While Mr. Queen was absolutely right to bring his suit, and clearly prevailed despite settling out of court, this type of behavior is not remotely uncommon.
In fact, it's more prevalent than most people realize.
And it's not just within fire departments either.

@anglophone, I know. 🤬

I hope the city fires all of them.

I doubt if that would ever happen since the poor little Jesus Jockeys would then start screaming Persecution.

FFS, I thought Fire Departments were there to put OUT fires, not as Recruiters for Religions and the K.K.K., etc.

They sit around for hours on end with nothing to do....idle minds do idle mind stuff

@Canndue That may be so BUT it is NO excuse any way you care to look at it imo.

@Triphid absolutely not
