An LAFD Captain Is Under Investigation After An Anti-Vaccine Mandate Video Rant

[Jilly_in_VA]

A Los Angeles City Fire Department captain who railed against the city, the department and his own union leaders over an imminent vaccine mandate for all city workers is under an internal investigation.

"I am so hopping mad right now, you have no idea. My head could pop," Capt. Cristian Granucci told viewers as he launched into a 12-minute video rant on Monday in which he threatened to sue the local firefighters union and the city.

Granucci, who says he's a 31-year veteran, gnashed his teeth as he called the COVID-19 vaccine mandate "total tyranny" and insisted that he is "done being silent on this matter, and so are many of our members."

The city's recently passed rule is awaiting signature by LA Mayor Eric Garcetti and won't go into effect until early October. At that point, all city employees will have to show they've received the COVID-19 vaccine or submit to twice-weekly testing. Refusing both of those requirements would lead to termination.

1. He is crazy and not fit to serve as a FD member

This wasn't about having a different view, this was a maniac ranting about things with no basis in reality. He cannot and should not be trusted to do any important job.

2. Not "LA's Bravest"

That's for sure. Just a wimp.

3. I can rant too

I'm upset by the tyranny of the selfish, the stupid and the paranoid people whose actions have caused such unnecessary suffering because they could not be inconvenienced to wear a simple article. They think their rights to be selfish, stupid and paranoid are more important than the rights of others to live or to live without fear of pain and suffering caused by long term effects.

The Total Tyranny of the Stupid has got to stop!
