(WFMZ Allentown)   Remember when you were a kid. On a hot summer night the town would hold its heritage festival. And you and your lawyer would bike downtown to see the fireworks?   (wfmz.com) divider line

A 16-year-old was shot in the leg near Northampton and Second streets while the event's fireworks were going off, leaving families fleeing in panic.

So ban guns?

"That's crazy talk! We're banning skateboards, roller blades, roller skates, scooters, and bicycles instead. That should solve the problem."

...officers were taunted by the teens, who screamed that police were racist, cursed at officers, and recorded them on phones while wearing masks and hoods to conceal their identities.
A 16-year-old was shot in the leg...

So... a cop shot him

So kids on skateboards taunted the cops for being racist pricks, the cops shot a kid, so the obvious answer is... Banning skateboards??

Right-wingers are absolutely unhinged.

Scalzo, at that time, said his officers were taunted by the teens, who screamed that police were racist, cursed at officers, and recorded them on phones while wearing masks and hoods to conceal their identities.

I don't remember any swift remediations when the Proud Boys raided Drag Queen Reading Time at the libraries.

bniath: Almost bought a house in Easton... almost. Everywhere outside of the environs of the Crayola factory is crap.


But the biggest problem is that they are all Devils fans instead of Flyers fans.  Almost as bad as South Jersey Cowboys fans...
