Fire Chief Canned After Using Inappropriate Emoji

A fire chief in Arkansas was only on the job for about 10 months before he was fired.

Allen Hicks, the now former fire chief of Marked Tree, Arkansas was terminated for using "inappropriate emojis." It's a bit of a complicated story, but apparently, he "accidentally" used a middle-finger emoji instead of a thumbs-up emoji in reacting to a social media post.

This isn’t the first time Hicks has been fire chief. He was fired from the position a few years ago and then rehired in March. He claims small-town politics are at play. However, the mayor says the issue is not political but policy violations.

FULL STORY

Old people. We love them. They are wise. They are hilarious. And when their not crashing their cars into buildings... sometimes they are kicking ass on the big screen. Here are 5 of my favorite kick ass old people from the movies.

Yes, he looks like he used to be a roadie for Willie Nelson. Yes, he smokes some kind of weed-like substance from his pipe. And yes, of course he kicks some serious ass in Lord of The Rings. Not only does he use the might of his magic... but he's not afraid to bestow a beating upon orcs with his staff. Gandalf ain't nothin' to f**k with!

Count Dooku is one evil son of a bitch. The once super cool Jedi, that turned to the Dark Side and became a truly nasty bastard. When he's not tryin' to make it to a 5:30 am breakfast to get his senior discount... he's whoopin' ass with lightsabers and his ability to manipulate the force. Once he's had his Metamucil, steer clear of this old mean son of a bitch!

Liam Neeson's character Bryan Mills. He's pretty old. But he's not afraid to kick some serious ass, even if his hips are made of metal. Watch him bring his elderly beating here. Doesn't matter how much ointment it's gonna take, there will be hell to pay if you f**k with him!

Campbell is the Dad of Hamish from Braveheart. This old man proves time and time again how tough he is. Whether he's getting his hand chopped off or being shot with arrows, he never backs down from a fight. Hell, here he is with an arrow in him and he's still got the energy to get every body fired up after an epic ass kicking, they didn't even have advil back then.

Yoda is hundreds of years old, so he is by far the oldest of these ass-kicking old men. He tiny and walks with a cane. But don't be fooled. He's the most powerful Jedi there's ever been. He gets around pretty good for his age and proved by his flips... he's able to work through his joint pain to pick a fight with the evil Darth Sidious.
