A Jacksonville, Arkansas volunteer firefighter appears to have posted a shockingly racist rant to Facebook after the arrest of two black men, although he blamed his wife for the post, reports Kark.com.
Thats good Im glad hes getting locked up that means less blacks in the community, wrote someone on the Facebook page the firefighter shares with his wife. I think the old school laws need to take place where hangings are made and the African American community is nothing but a joke, they added.
After the North Pulaski Fire Department was overwhelmed with posts, the firefighter told the Fire Chief that it was in fact his wife that had written it.
The Fire Department terminated the firefighter and tried to assure community residents that they are not racist.
We are here for everybody, it makes no difference about what they look like everybody is the same to us, Chief Randy Blakey said.

The social media post was shared hundreds of times since Tuesday and getting a lot of attention.
The firefighter who posted it told North Pulaski Fire Chief Randy Blakey his wife actually wrote it.
He also told the chief he takes full responsibility and he did not think it would get out of control."
Welp dumbass, it has.🤦
