Jeffrey Boyle was a real fireman. <br />I wish to it clear to you that you would understand; <br />Jeffrey was a fireman when he off duty being a fireman. <br />Jeffery, a 25 year-old veteran of Chicago's Fire Department, was an arsonist. <br />A fireman who starts fires, now that's twist. <br />Jeffrey was sentenced to six years in prison for starting eight fires. <br />His pension from the Fire Department had been revoked, <br />His retirement he planned was not acquired. <br />Boyle argued that because he set the fires while he was off duty from his job as a firefighter, <br />-and he did not use department equipment to set them, <br />-he was legally entitled to receive his $50,000-a-year pension. <br />But there was more tension, <br />A judge ruled in his favor. <br />Judge Leroy Martin said in his ruling, <br /> <br />'There must be a clear and specific connection between the felony committed and the participant's employment. It's unsettling, nay, repugnant that Mr. Boyle should stand poised to collect a pension, but the court is duty bound to apply the law.' <br /> <br />And that was that, that was all. <br /> <br />Am I slow or stupid or what? <br />I just don't get it. <br /> <br />11/12/09<br /><br />Joe Rosochacki<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/c-mon-baby-light-my-fire/
