That is pure music to an old school firefighters ears. You heard that and knew some kind of sh*t was going down and we needed to go deal with it. Pagers and phones took that away.

There were so many of those old Civil Defense air raid sirens put up on fire stations around this country.

My town still uses the sirens. Goes off every day at noon. And it's also used to summon the volunteer firefighters.

and it all started with faked videos and photos of celebrities who happened to be lugging around a set of mammary glands along with lacking male reproductive organs.........

Honestly; This should not be a surprise. This should indeed raise the bar of what is considered "reasonable doubt" and make evidence much more challenging to prove/disprove
