Protests grow over racist, anti-Semitic tweeter becoming firefighter

antisemitism-us:

BROOKLYN — He tweeted so many messages, over so many months, that
were so racially, ethnically and religiously offensive that he resigned
from being an FDNY emergency medical technician.

So why is Joe Cassano now just days away from becoming a New York City firefighter?

That’s what a group of elected officials, activists and even some
firefighters want to know. Many of them suspect that Cassano, as son of
a former FDNY commissioner, could have a lot to do with it.

Cassano, 28, resigned in 2013 tweeting such messages as, “News flash
to half of the island – ur white! Stop talking like ur a shwoog.”
Shwoog is a derogatory term for a person of African descent.

“MLK could go kick rocks for all I care but thanks for the time and a half today,” is another of Cassano’s infamous tweets.

A specifically anti-Semitic tweet was, “I like jews about as much as hitler. #too far? nope!”
