Milwaukee Firefighters Save Man From Jumping Off Bridge [VIDEO]

Milwaukee firefighter Nyles Wray grabbed the hand of a suicidal man who was threatening to jump off a bridge, helping save his life. "The man climbed over the guard rail and lower himself over the side," the Fire Department wrote in a news release. "Firefighter Wray was able to get to him and quickly reach out holding his hand as he let go of the guard rail. Firefighter Wray was quickly assisted by Firefighter Rita Muzia, Heavy Equipment Operator Joshua Ladue and Lieutenant Colin Thomas. Putting their own lives at risk as all of their feet came off the ground, they were able to bring the man over the guard rail to safety and continue providing medical assistance to him until members of the Milwaukee Police Department arrived to assist."

"The incident took place in the afternoon of Thursday, June 24. "Engine Co. 9 was responding to a single motor vehicle accident on the N. Teutonia Ave. overpass which runs over W. Silver Spring Dr. A female bystander alerted Firefighter Nyles Wray about the driver involved in the accident who was experiencing a mental crisis and had threatened to end his life by jumping off the bridge," the department wrote.

The City of Wauwatosa has instructed city workers that they should avoid using red and green in public spaces to celebrate Christmas. Instead, top city officials are urging them to decorate counters with purple and blue instead. The email went out this week from Deputy City Administrator Melissa Cantarero Weiss. It also notes that City Administrator James Archambo is on board with the instructions. In it, she urged city workers to embrace “inclusive decorating practices” and make Wauwatosa’s municipal buildings a “place that everyone can feel comfortable visiting throughout the holiday season.” City workers were urged to “opt for more neutral and inclusive decorations.” We received the email from multiple sources who questioned why Wauwatosa was making this a priority when the city has far more pressing issues.

Here are are some things I learned first-hand: (1) Underclass black America is indeed suffering unacceptable levels of violence and generational poverty; (2) Malcolm X was absolutely correct when he identified white liberals as an impediment to the progr...

[caption id="attachment_161199" align="alignleft" width="225"] Thomas Routt Jr[/caption] Thomas Routt Jr. 57, was named by his story to WTMJ-TV, but the attorney says he denies wrongdoing. So far, police have not confirmed the name, although they revealed on Monday that a person of interest is in custody. The Weingarts were both found shot to death inside the Sports Page Barr in Elkhorn in a crime that has shocked the community. Now it turns out the person police have in custody is on the streets because Evers' appointee decided to free him.   Thomas Routt Jr. Paroled in 2020 Corrections' records confirm that Routt was released in August 2020 on parole. A press release from Gov. Evers said that John Tate, his controversial appointee to run ...
