Call it karma, cosmic retribution, or a vengeful god. I say he deserved less.

MYFOXNY.COM - A off-duty Emergency Medical Dispatcher who had been the subject of a criminal investigation was shot and killed early Sunday morning.
Jason Green, 32, was shot in the face at the corner of Hudson Street and Van Dam Street in the West Village at about 5 a.m.
EMS took Green to Beekman Hospital but it was too late. There have been no arrests.
Green was suspended for 30 days in December 2009 after allegedly refusing to interrupt a coffee break to aid a pregnant woman who was suffering a heart attack in Downtown Brooklyn.
Green and a follow dispatcher were eating at the Au Bon Pain in Metrotech Center near the FDNY headquarters when an employee asked them to call 911 for help .
His partner called a fellow dispatcher to report the incident, but witnesses said the pair did not try to help Eutisha Revee Rennix.
The 25-year-old, who was six months pregnant, died hours later. Her unborn baby also died.
At the time, a livid Mayor Michael Bloomberg called the medics' alleged actions "unconscionable. " Barely containing his anger, he told reporters that "It was unconscionable, [an] outrage, pick some adjectives and stick it in."
Green had just left Greenhouse Bar after being refused entry when he was shot. The Greenhouse issued a statement saying the shooting did not involved patrons of the bar.
