I don't see what's wrong with a firefighter telling an idiot that he endangers more lives than just his when he does stupid things. It's not like there's a cutoff age where people can finally smarten up. Maybe this scolding got through to him like a lot of people remember getting told by someone older than them, back in the day. I got my scolding when I was about 13. It got through.
Some of you guys seem to think that just because he's a firefighter, he has to embrace the stupid. No, he has to accept it, but not embrace it.
I've got about as much sympathy for a guy like this as I do for all the idiots that used to drown at the weir.
