Schuylkill County: The most racist, backwards county in America? (Pittston: live in, bill)

[HomerBrink]

Who was it who said in the last election that as for as PA goes, there's Philadelphia in the east, Pittsburgh in the west and West Virginia in the middle?? Maybe he had a point.....

Some teens walking in own neighborhood, where granparents and parents grew up, have to run from a single ilegal alien--or anyone else--who attacks them? What if guy chases them? If they ran, and guy got away with hitting one of them in back of head, would that be right? Ever consider that so called 'Victum" was bad guy?

Um no. Interestingly enough your posts are so offensive that they put off many, many people. Imagine that!

If I was on your side of argument you'de say different. How about straight answers? And less threats?

Well, the vict*I*m, I'm sure was not a nice person. But yet again (is this the 10th time now?) being illegal, not nice, etc and so forth and so on, is not grounds for *death*.

What if? What if? What if? Let's deal with what actually happened. The guy was kicked, while he was down, and because he is a Hispanic illegal in Schuylkill County, the white jock boys were let off.

You obviously misinterpreted my focus in those groups, along with my short-lived Pittston 2020 web site. My goal was to discourage the irresponsible suburban development that is now occurring in the areas adjacent to the city proper (i.e. Blueberry Hill Estates, Center Point, Pittston Crossings, etc., etc.) that are serving only to further erode the tax base of the city proper of Pittston, which is now only at one-third of its heyday population of 21,000. Pittston can't even pave its crumbling streets while traffic snarls are becoming more and more commonplace on Highway 315 in Pittston Twp. Greater Pittston isn't nearly large enough to adequately sustain all of the suburban growth that is coming to smack it in the face over the next 2-4 years, and the end result will be an even less-important and less-appealing city proper of Pittston surrounded by a suburban wasteland. $350,000 townhouses in posh communities here are selling like hot cakes while the same $65,000 homes in Pittston have been sitting and rotting forever. School taxes go up annually, flooding/water runoff gripes worsen each year, and I get more and more of a sense that many people are "fake" in the suburbs surrounding Pittston with each passing year.

Also, if you don't see that "jocks" in our area get preferential treatment, then obviously you need to open your eyes a bit more. Why do you think so many middle-aged childless people in Pittston go to the high school every Friday night in the Fall to see someone else's kids play? Think about it. What sort of motivation should those people have to go there to sit in the bleachers and watch a game whose outcome they have no tie to? Meanwhile my friends' drama club plays, jazz band concerts, etc. were always VERY sparsely-attended. What does that tell you about Pittston?



Very mature to call someone out like this. What is it with the HUGE infestation of trolls lately on the NEPA forum?

Have to admit it....I am middle aged......childless(manx cat)........but I do love football and went to many Pittston Area and Penn State football games.......though you would assume I do not like football. Just watch the generalizations...lol....
