FDNY EMS Lt. spews racist, anti-Semitic tweets, but cried when confronted

[MrScorpio]

He’s a bigot — and a blubbering crybaby.

EMS Lt. Timothy Dluhos, 34, uses an image of Hitler for his profile photo and “Bad Lieutenant” as his online name as he spews a barrage of racist, sexist, anti-Semitic and anti-Asian comments.

The FDNY boss proudly posed with Mayor Bloomberg during a 2009 ceremony but hatefully calls Hizzoner “King Jew” and “King Heeb” on Twitter.

Dluhos, who works at EMS Station 57 in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, dropped to the ground sobbing Friday when The Post confronted him outside his Staten Island home.

“There has got to be a lot worse out there than me,” he insisted.

“My life is ruined. Oh, my God,” Dluhos wailed. “I’m so sorry.”

Yet the 12-year EMS veteran, who was promoted to lieutenant in 2006, seemed to delight in these hateful Twitter diatribes:

* “I’m going to give up racial insults for Lent,” he tweeted Feb. 12. “Jesus that didn’t [last] too long. F--ken chinks can’t drive.”

* While giving what he called a “hood tour” of the Bedford-Stuyvesant area he serves, he posted photos of a housing project, fried-chicken joints and a strip club. “Real nasty place,” he tweeted Feb 23. “I’ve been there.”

* “Hahaha! I work with the coloreds,” he wrote in a Feb. 8 exchange. “For 12 years so that s--t just run off on me.”

* “Too bad he didn’t have rabies or AIDS and too bad he didn’t bite King Heeb’s face off,” he tweeted on Groundhog Day, Feb. 2, recalling when the groundhog Staten Island Chuck nipped Bloomberg at an event at the Staten Island Zoo.

1. You do not belong in EMS sir.

[bullwinkle428]

2. So he actully has "Bad Lieutenant" embroidered on his jacket,

and never considered that anyone would make the connection with his Twitter account?

These are the types of cases where you wish that stupidity caused pain. Intense pain.

3. Tourette's behavior of some sort, perhaps?

Or just an asshole?

4. This guy is an embarrassment to the FDNY!

5. Since it's the New York Compost, a Murdoch rag, I will withhold judgment...

Wouldn't be surprsised if he did it, wouldn't be surprised if the Compost made everything up.

6. He's crying because he knows his job will be gone soon and future choices will be limited....

...Words have consequences, dirtbag.

7. No one can be *that* fuckin' dumb

He must have been trying to get fired for whatever reason...

8. Well, Lieutenant, you oughta have kept your trap shut, then.

Well, you know, maybe he IS feeling a little remorse for his actions, but still, regardless, I wouldn't blame the FDNY for firing him; this isn't the image they need. And I'd like to hope that this guy wises up and stops being such a bigoted dumbass someday.....

9. Man, to get the NY Post to rag on a FDNY guy for bigotry

takes some remarkable bigoted dumbfuckery on his part.

[jessie04]

10. THAT is one dumb idiot.

Who you going to blame when you get fired dumbshit.

12. Worst Responder. nt

[alsame]

13. “There has got to be a lot worse out there than me” is

setting the bar pretty low, huh? What a POS.

14. Second page of the story is worse. Making $95K a year and not enough sense to wipe himself. Pitiful.

I'd ask where this guy came from, but since he's 32 years old, same era as when Rush, Stern, Savage, Boortz and the hate merchants took over media. What he says could be lifted from those guys. He dove headfirst into the cesspool.

IDK what to say about people who are screwing their careers up this way. We were taught growing up that the measure of our character was what we did when we thought no one was watching.

He could have saved himself all this grief by just acting better on his spare time. What a foolish man, I'm sure those tweets were not the sum total of his character, but why act like that to begin with - we are certainly hearing a lot of bad things now.
