Some of the results of loopydoop and his values-free education system?
The teacher is your friend, not an authority figure. What a load of PC/leftie crap.
Wait for some more details on this and see how it turns out.
Mob of youths attacks fireman By Jamie Duncan May 17, 2005 From: AAP
A VOLUNTEER firefighter has been beaten by a mob as he tried to fight a fire in the central Victorian town of Benalla. Benalla Country Fire Authority brigade captain Bill "Pollie" Polwarth was set upon by a mob of up to 30 youths as he tried to clear them away from a suspicious fire that engulfed a garage and car in Nunn Street about 2am (AEST) Sunday.
CFA regional operations manager Stewart Kreltszheim said Mr Polwarth, a volunteer with the brigade for 35 years and aged in his early 50s, was kicked and punched to the ground as he tried to move the group away from the fire.
"He's got a badly broken rib and bruising on his shoulders and back," Mr Kreltszheim said.
"He was one of the first on the scene. Some of them were running up and down the driveway and the garage was well alight. He tried to get them away and they turned on him.
"We're treating it as a one-off. I've never seen anything like it before and I hope I don't see it again."
Detective Sergeant Rod Smith of Benalla CIU said the attack had shocked the town of 9000 people.
"The fact that he's a volunteer is the really bad thing," Det Sgt Smith said.
"His not paid to do this. He does it for other people and it's terrible that this has happened while he's doing his job.
"It's a disgrace, and people should be phoning us up to assist us because somebody knows who did this and if people don't want to tolerate this, they should tell us."
Det Sgt Smith said the crowd came from a combined birthday party for two youths held nearby.
It was not clear if anyone from the mob lit the fires, or were drawn to the flames as fire crews arrived, he said.
Police have interviewed one youth and expect to lay charges in the coming days, he said.
A relative, who did not wish to be named, said Mr Polwarth, a plumber, would need at least two weeks off work.
