Firefighter Tossed Cat, "Mr Kibbles" Into Florida Everglades - Charged

[matcom]

<snip>

A Fort Lauderdale firefighter is facing theft charges after he told police that he snatched a neighborhood cat and dumped it in the Everglades because it scratched his truck.

The firefighter's 11-year-old neighbor, Maggie Leonard, was celebrating her birthday Feb. 5 when she realized her pet was gone. She started crying when she learned Cristopher Cortes, who has had a months-long spat with her family, got rid of Mr. Kibbles.

Luckily for Maggie, the cat showed up at her front door Feb. 18 -- apparently on his own.

"It was like a miracle," said Maggie's mother, Nancy Leonard. "Maggie loves this cat like royalty."

Coconut Creek police charged the firefighter, Christopher Cortes, 32, and his fiancee with petty theft and gave them notices to appear in court. Fort Lauderdale Fire-Rescue says it has opened an internal investigation, but Cortes is still on duty.

I am 99.9% against the death penalty--but some people really, really deserve it!

4. A cat scratched his truck?

Either that's a big-ass cat or a really crappy paint job.

Not to mention the guy is a complete prick and should be subjected to the same treatment himself . . . dump him in the Everglades . . . maybe a tad deeper in than he did the cat. . . you know, use a boat to get him there and drop his ass off with the gators and water moccasins for company.

7. What is wrong with you people?!?!?! This brave firefighter

puts his life on the line for the likes of you every day!!!

Don't you know that entitles him to a scratch-free truck? And vigilante justice against any creature that mars the said truck?

It's like you guys are more concerned about "cruelty" to animals than the rights of this poor firefighter!
