If those "boys" probably calling them hoodlums would be a better description, are ever caught (obviously very unlikely) they should all be tried for attempted murder!

Has there been or has anyone seen any media coverage of this request?  How is the mutual aid assistance impacting FDNY EMS?

Truth be told, all you would hear is "Boys will be boys." Nothing will happen. Unfortunately we all surmise it already.
