The offender in question was Lygodium japonicum. This is a gorgeous plant and has its place in its native range, but doesn’t belong in natural landscapes of the US, especially a fire-adapted habitat like Florida.

🔥

In addition to being able to survive fire and grow back very quickly after burns, Lygodium japonicum reduces some plants’ natural defenses toward fire by creating a “fuel ladder” that carries the flames higher into the canopy than it normally would travel.

🔥

Herbicide is the only thing that seems to be able to eliminate this plant, although that’s not even super effective, and obviously there are many disadvantages to using herbicides that may cause harm to more components of the ecosystem.

Fire Rescue (including their white medics) & Cops are the same.

Fire Rescue (including their white medics) & Cops are the same.  In many cases they report right into the cops eliminating independence. That is the case in #HillsboroughFl. See links below

She could not breathe either since she was left to die for being black!!! Say her name too!!!  Crystal Galloway is Hillsborough/Tampa Florida George Floyd!!! Honor Her & fight racism in the Hillsborough/Tampa Fire and Emergency department!!! Remember here they are an extension of the police. The apple does not fall far from the tree…. Not too far from here employees of the Fire and Emergency department are hanging Nooses!

We must not forget the reported racism from the Hillsborough, Fl Fire and Emergency department and others on South Florida.

Racism is systematic & even where we shouldn't expected. We need to eradicate it from every corner.

Reportedly this is how Hillsborough, Fl Fire & Emergency department treat black woman inside & outside the dept:

We must eradicate racism from the Fire and Emergency department and the work place as well.  No black or any other minority should be denied an ambulance ride to a hospital or be harassed at work due to their color or ethnicity.  Let’s expand this fight beyond the police!!!  Who to the links above a see the racist injustice for yourself.  And there is much more out there relating to the racism for these organizations…

Reported Racism & more in the Hillsborough/Tampa Fl department

In essence based on the articles below it seems like the the Fire and Emergency response department in Hillsborough/Tampa, fl, - (if you Google and you’ll find many other racial Fire & Emergency response incidents through out Florida, and other states, including nooses being used to threaten fire fighters of color).

Based on these news articles, which everyone seems to ignore, it seems like we have with our tax dollars and conformance outsource the Fire and Emergency Response to the KKK and call them Heroes.  Like the Netflix true story “When they see us”,  when they see us dying,  good luck on treatment if you are black or any other minority.  If you work for them and are black based on some of these articles they discriminate &or hang nooses.  In fact See below for yourself:

Wait, there’s more:

Tax Payer Abuse:

https://www.wtsp.com/article/news/investigations/hillsborough-firefighters-union-repays-taxpayers/120123924

Drugs in the department, putting civilians at risk:

http://www.tampabay.com/investigations/2018/02/21/overdoses-duis-stolen-drugs-floridas-third-biggest-fire-rescue-department-has-a-problem/

And I’ll quote what the paper said:  “Hillsborough County has a documented history of drug issues — and alcohol abuse — among first responders. A Tampa Bay Times investigation found 47 drug- and alcohol-related incidents involving county fire rescue employees since 2010.”

Leadership Fraud:

Wait there is more (if this is what the commanders do, can imagine what those reporting to them can get away with:

Obstruction leading to death:

https://www.abcactionnews.com/news/local-news/car-collides-with-hillsborough-fire-truck-sparking-traffic-delay-on-i-4-at-branch-forbes-road

Unreliable 911 information systems: (they did not even know what the impact was at the time, and no contingency):

http://www.tampabay.com/hillsborough/human-error-broke-hillsborough-911-system-made-fixing-it-harder-reports-say-20190413/

Discrimination and harassment of female fire fighters:

Disrespecting and Practicing on the Dead:/Deceased

https://www.wfla.com/national/firefighters-in-trouble-after-using-body-for-training-exercise/1475421182

But profiling minorities and allowing them to die is beyond sad and extremely wrong.

[jacobjonesjj]

And let’s stop supporting organizations whose workers commit racists acts:

July 4th marks 2 yrs that the #HillsboroughFl / #TampaFl Fire & Emergency dept. reportedly let a #black woman named Crystal Galloway die due to racial profiling & true justice not served. Go to link, it’s heartbreaking.
