KHQ.COM - Three workers who found a live bomb along the route of a Martin Luther King Jr. Day parade in Spokane and were hailed as heroes say they later lost their jobs.
The three were employed by Labor Ready and working under contract for the Spokane Public Facilities District when they found a backpack containing the bomb about an hour before the parade was to start Jan. 17. They alerted police, who were able to defuse the
bomb.
The three said they were criticized for not handling the situation properly and later lost their jobs.
The head of the Spokane Public Facilities District told The Spokesman-Review there was concern that the men handled the bomb too much before calling authorities.

And 31% of us think we are still on the right track....
We all know there is no greater threat to freedom and democracy than workers showing initiative and concern for the human beings. It's too bad these guys couldn't have behaved in a more socially-responsible fashion...like, for example, the mobs in Madison. (insert sarcasm)
"....there was concern that the men handled the bomb too much before calling authorities."
And how would the yahoo-Head of S.P.F.D. know the bomb was 'handled too much'? Was he there to observe these brave and alert men handling the bomb, or did his idiot boss handler decide that this courageous act should be handled?
Seems to me that these men have a legal case for re-instatement of their jobs; they were railroaded!
