Could have seen this one coming
Remember the case of the Baltimore Fire Fighter (a paramedic apprentice) who discovered a noose and a threatening note inside the Firehouse?
From Baltimore

Fire Dept. Suspends Apprentice For Noose, Note
The Baltimore Fire Department has suspended a paramedic apprentice who admitted placing a threatening note and a rope shaped like a noose inside a firehouse.
Fire officials say the paramedic, Gary Maynard, is the one who initially reported finding the note and the rope. Fire department spokesman Kevin Cartwright says Maynard confessed to city police that he left the note and the rope.
A statement from Fire Chief William Goodwin says Maynard's scheme was "meant to create the perception that members within our department were acting in a discriminatory and unprofessional manner."
The note was believed to refer to a cheating scandal involving black firefighters. Maynard, who is black, has not yet been charged with any crime.
Yup - sticken' it to the Man... What a maroon.
