Firefighter's family fights for full death benefits
Widow of Fallen Ariz. Hotshot Firefighter Denied Lifetime Benefits - Fox Nation
A while back, the usual haters on this board said that seasonal firefighters should not be paid benefits.
Right now, some if the haters are raving that poor little "A Rod should get a pass" even though the worst that will happen to him is that he'll get $61MILLION 'severance' pay for getting caught doing drugs.

So, one young man plays a child's game for an obscene amount of money while another gives his life while trying to save other people and/or their property. One gets incredibly wealthy for doing drugs on the job (We could include the incredible stalking and murder of a teenager who happened to smoke a joint and the haters actually saying he had it coming!) The other young man's widow and children get screwed over and nothing else and as far as we know, he did nothing wrong.
Anyone else see a problem with our screwy priorities?
