Whistleblowing IT Director Fired By FL State Attorney
An anonymous reader writes "Ben Kruidbos, the IT director for the Florida State Attorney's Office who'd spoken up when important cellphone evidence he'd extracted from Trayvon Martin's cellphone was withheld by the state from the defense, was fired by messenger at 7:30 PM Friday, after closing arguments in the Zimmerman case. He was told that he could not be 'trusted to set foot in this office,' and that he was being fired for incompetence. Kruidbos had received a merit pay raise earlier this year. The firing letter also blames him for consulting a lawyer, an obvious sign of evil."
After WW2 everybody was working hard, rebuilding the world. There was a respect for those who worked harder and for those who simply achieved more.
Then we had the cold war. There was the red team and the blue team. Things where pretty simple. Skills was an important factor. But a lot more politics.
Today it's politics and corruption all over. Networking is more important than actual skills. There is no common goal, everybody is fighting everybody.
I think the trend is called socialism. It's about how to fuck your neighbour over for scraps.
Now that is why we need homeland security, right?
"To secure the nation from the many threats we face"
You may also want to note that least corrupt countries in the world are socialist, while most corrupt are capitalist
Not even close. And you may want to note that communist and socialist countries in the 20th century mass murdered many people.
