Rural Tennessee fire sparks conservative ideological debate

So, I was on Facebook and saw a video posting from Mrs. Markena Peavy. She had posted the following video:

I am HOT!!! I mean, that's some PETTY stuff! How could the fire department stand bylet this man's home and possessions burn to the ground over $75!!!??? Is it really that crucial??!!! The fire department was RIGHT THERE - they could've squirted some water on the man's house so that he could at least keep something!!!

They showed NO compassion in the situation! I couldn't, in good conscience, justify letting someone's home burn to the ground when I have the means to help that person. Then, that wack politician got on the video talking about enforcing rules and whatnot.... Ok, rules are important, and following rules are important, but ARE RULES AND $$$ MORE IMPORTANT THAN PEOPLE NOW???



I am somewhat relieved to learn that the local governments are working on a solution to this situation, so that this sort of thing doesn't happen in the future. But, this was still a sad thing to happen in America. Surely Jesus is soon to come.
