Two bounty hunters were arrested for daring to catch a criminal. The two stupid Piglets that arrested them are crying foul over their civil rights.
Well those stinking thugs lost all rights when they broke the law. Those two stupid Piglets need to break away from the habits of the chief pig Bill Heim. Maybe when you start holding Mayor Marvel-Less Tom McMahon to his actions then maybe you can talk about the bounty hunters. I hope these bounty hunters win the fight and throw you hogs back into the mud where you belong with the rest of the thugs like Cletus Rivera, Mumia Abu Jamal, and so on.

Bounty hunters have no affiliation with law enforcement. They are civilians, just like the rest of us.
What these two bounty hunters did was a crime, and they will be punished for it. How would you like to be treated like this if bounty hunters wanted to find someone you knew and you refused to help them.
It’s rhetorical, as you would cry foul too, as you should for your civil rights are as important as mine and everyone else’s civil rights, even those who commit crimes!

I understand your concern Andy. The part that gets me the most is that these bounty hunters were going after a criminal. It’s not like they were on a shakedown spree. The main element that fumes me with this is that if the police started doing their jobs weather it is more cops on the street, firing a political hack of a police chief, or whatever. Just as the minutemen took a stand on a national level to protect our borders, I predict we will see more of this as government on the local level continues to fail. That’s the picture we need to look at.

Please tell us your thoughts on Jennaro Pullano. Green Party candidate for Mayor of Reading. I have some things to discuss but, I want your thoughts first.
September 5, 2007 at 9:32 pm
More cops on the street cost more money. That would cost you more money. Actually, no it wouldn’t because you no longer live in PA! WOOHOO!
To fire a police chief you need evidence. You lack that, likely because none exists. Anyway, if you want to start a crusade against the chief why not move back here and do it yourself instead of whining like a little girl from afar.
The two bounty hunters in question are being held responsible for breaking the law. They are not law enforcement officers at all, so they have no protection as law enforcement officers. Are you considering a career change Matthew. Are you the new ‘DOG’?

“Please tell us your thoughts on Jennaro Pullano. Green Party candidate for Mayor of Reading.”
While I don’t agree much with Jennaro’s politics I do admire his character, and his willingness to fight the current status quo. I think the way The Established Elite screwed him out of the council seat last year was shady, and I do agree with Jennaro in exposing Al Boscov for the tax pimp that he really is. Also Keith Stamm mentioned on his blog that Jennaro was a real class act in calling him to wish him a speedy recovery. For that I have more respect for Jennaro. I would like to see a debate between just Jennaro and Keith as it would be interesting to put ideas out into the air, because we all know what Mayor Marvel-Less Tom McMahon stands for.
I to would like to hear your thoughts about Jennaro.

“More cops on the street cost more money. That would cost you more money. Actually, no it wouldn’t because you no longer live in PA! WOOHOO!”
Are you claiming that I am the reason The Muhlenberg Police Department spent more money? You better have facts to back that up. Don’t worry, because I’m sure Muhlenberg Township will continue to extort my mother out of her home before she sells it.
I can also tell it burns you up that you have not clue where I relocated to. I don’t plan on disclosing that information for my own safety. The last thing I need are Berks County Kooks causing trouble in a civilized town. Don’t forget I remember the old days when you guys found out where I lived. Let’s start with the time one of those kooks broke into my Womelsdorf apartment, or when Democrat Party hack Jim Keller started calling my mother on me, or most recently before I left smashing my car after that Sperm Al Walentis from The Reading Eagle posted a way to track it on his blog ;).
Let’s just say the community I live in is night and day compared to Berks County. You kooks only continue to make yourselves look like zoo animals.

That’s come pretty interesting information. However I’m sure you will give Al Boscov a pass on his scams one being called “Our City Reading”.

Two More Fugitives Detained by INTERPOL
The International Police organization (INTERPOL) detained two foreigner Saturday, wanted in their countries for extortion and drug trafficking.
Mark Pullano, wanted by the United States for smuggling drugs into theU U.S. from Mexico.
Pullano was located by INTERPOL agents in a area called Cerro de la Muerte.
In Bahía Ballena, Península de Osa, on the west coast, INTERPOL agents detained French national, Gary Pierce, wanted in his country for extortion.
Pullano was wanted by a Distric Court in Pennsylvania and is facing multiple charges related to drug trafficking. An order for his arrest went out in October of 2004, where Pullano is suspected of heading an organization that imported thousands of kilos of drugs in to the U.S. from Mexico.
Immigration records indicate that Pullano entered Costa Rica last September.
In the case of the Frenchman, an arrest warrant was issued in Paris in 2002, wanted of crimes committed in Cannes.
INTERPOL had been on the heels of the fugitive for some time, concentrating their efforts in the Guanacaste region. In November of 1999, Pierce, along with other foreign nationals, founded Chapeau Rouge S.A., a tourism based company and was named president in 2001.
According to authorities, Pierce was not in hiding. While in Costa Rica, immigration records show that he came and went several times, visiting Venezuela, Panama and Trinidad.
Bahía Ballena is 18 kilometres from Dominical.

I like Pullano, not because of where he stands on issues, but because he is honest and not “bought” by Al Boscov and the Stevens and Lee law firm!
Pullano never stole from the tax payers; McMahon stole millions from Reading tax payers through his company, Entech Engineering.
September 6, 2007 at 2:25 pm
I tend to agree. The thing that gets me when people yell about people with back taxes they put it out there as if there is something wrong with that person, as if he’s bad. The problem is not the taxpayer, it’s the tax system as we know it.
September 6, 2007 at 4:16 pm
Bullshit Matt!!!!! And you know it
September 6, 2007 at 5:05 pm
Actually, the problem is Pullano owns a seasonal business and the warm winters these past few years have cost him hundreds of thousands of dollars.
I also am aware that Pullano has signed an agreement and is paying back these taxes owed, along with interest and penalties. So where is the problem?
Additionally, do you honestly believe Tom McMahon and Al Boscov will give us back the money they stole from us?
Don’t hold your breath!

“Actually, the problem is Pullano owns a seasonal business and the warm winters these past few years have cost him hundreds of thousands of dollars.”
I agree with you 100% Andy. Pullano’s back taxes do not even come CLOSE to what farmers have to bear every year because of NAFTA and the influx of Illegal Aliens that tax them out of business and in the process we get rewarded with cookie cutter development. Yet every public official excuses the farmer, but when you become a threat to them then they will use it to tear you down as a deadbeat.
The American People are not deadbeats, the elected officials are the true deadbeats as they don’t earn their money, but simply take it away from you to lavish themselves and further opress the citizenry that they swore on the bible to represent.

I hate politics, rather than debating issues on how to make Reading a better place. We have people who like to through mud around that has nothing to do about how to make Reading better.
If anyone has any questions about my business please call me at 610-374-2897.
I will debate and discuss issues about how to make The City of Reading a better place anytime any place. This election is already getting ugly lots of name calling and such. Donna Reed got in the face of my mom and campaign volunteers the other day. She was out of control yelling at people.
There is no need for this in politics. There are solution for the problems facing Reading. I hope I am lucky enough to be the next mayor so we can get to work.
Trying to give city government back to the people.

“The problem is not the taxpayer, it’s the tax system as we know it.”
Sorry Matt, but I have to speak on this one.
I don’t disagree that our tax system could use an overhaul, BUT, I do disagree with it being used as an excuse for someone not to pay. Wasn’t one of the owed taxes a sales tax? If it was… that would be directly based on the money the business DID make. It was collected from the customer.
Disagreeing with a system or laws is not justification for disobedience.
People who smoke pot think it shouldn’t be illegal. Do they also have the excuse of disagreeing with the current drug related laws when it comes to their behavior? That’s how this city got into the position it’s in. Illegal immigrants choose not to follow our laws because they feel they their needs are more important. Drunk drivers disobey the laws because it suits them to do so. City managers refuse to live in the city despite being required to do so. People are dumping trash because it’s cheaper than paying to have it hauled away. The list goes on and on.
It’s a slippery slope to excuse someone from abiding by laws…. regardless of civil or criminal. It’s an attitude of disrespect, not a stand against a faulted system.
September 7, 2007 at 5:44 pm
People who smoke pot think it shouldn’t be illegal.
** This law is Un-Constitutional. The government had to pass a Constitutional Amendment to make alcohol illegal (18th Amendment) which is what they need to do to make pot illegal. This is also why rich people (who can afford the right attorneys) always beat the rap when it comes to drug USE. Selling it is another matter, since Congress can legally regulate commerce. This is what they have done, placing a ONE CENT TAX on cannabis, without establishing a agency to collect the tax, then they bust you based on the fact you did not pay this tax.
No, I am not a advocate for drugs, but making them illegal will NEVER stop people from using them… and it is INSANE to turn someone with a drug problem INTO A CRIMINAL through stupid laws. The Europeans have de-criminalized marijuana, based on it’s relative SAFETY. Alcohol and tobacco are FAR WORSE.
