Dirtbag Racist Firefighter Demoted for Idiotic Facebook Rant About Travyon Martin

Usually we get pretty upset when someone gets in trouble at work or school for a status update or tweet. But this Florida firefighter got what he deserved after posting a racist rant on Facebook about Travyon Martin’s parents.

Miami-Dade Fire Captain Brian Beckmann was demoted to the lowly rank of Firefighter after posting a hateful status update about Trayvon Martin, the Florida teen who was recently shot and killed in an incident many attribute to racism. Beckmann’s rant — wherein he implied that Martin’s parents are “failed, shitbag, ignorant, pathetic, [and] welfare dependent.” The post was captured by The Grio before the racist public servant could delete it:
