Dumb & dumper!
Ex-commish’s son suspended for pooping on lawn chair
The FDNY gave him a second chance — and he pooped all over it.
Disgraced firefighter Joseph Cassano was suspended earlier this week after being arrested following a drunken night in Lake Como, N.J., where he allegedly went into a stranger's backyard and defecated on a lawn chair, court records reveal.
Cassano, 28, the son of former FDNY Fire Commissioner Sal Cassano, is facing criminal trespass and criminal mischief charges for turning a person's yard into an outhouse on Saturday.
The FDNY suspended Cassano after his arrest because he is a probationary firefighter, officials said.
The scandal-scarred smoke-eater already had a checkered FDNY career. In 2013, he quit the FDNY's Emergency Medical Service after he was caught posting a string of hateful comments against minorities, women and Jews on his personal Twitter account during his first year on the job.
The EMT's vile tweets included: “I like Jews about as much as hitler #toofar? NOPE.”
He also wrote, “Getting sick of picking up all these Obama lovers and taking them to the hospital because their medicare pays for an ambulance and not a cab.”
Because he quit before he was fired, Cassano was allowed to rejoin the EMS in 2016, and take the firefighter exam. He graduated from the Fire Academy on April 18.
Cassano is accused of “recklessly or negligently damaging property” by “having a bowel movement on (the victim's) lawn furniture, leaving feces behind” when he was intoxicated, according to court papers.
After that, he allegedly entered a stranger's “closed garage and (went) to sleep.”
After his arrest on Saturday, Cassano was given a summons and sent home. He is expected to answer the charges in Belmar Municipal Court.
Cassano's Fire Academy graduation also drew controversy.
Within days of graduating, he was moved from Engine 247 in Borough Park, Brooklyn, to Engine 162/Ladder 82 in Great Kills, Staten Island, because local elected officials didn't want him in the heavily Orthodox neighborhood.
