The opening part of his Times-Leader story really pisses me off. He brags about how he beat the crap out of a bank teller and got off with a $350 fine. Who thinks if the tables were turned Joe would ever accept a $350 fine and let it end there. He's be filing lawsuits over pain and suffering, permanent disability, loss of sex life, etc.
I went into the bank and dragged him outside and beat the (expletive) out of him. I was fined $350.
You know it Art!! $350.00 fine? He would be looking for $350.00 per/hour per/day per/life.
However I do have one complaint about this post my friend....could you please refrain from mentioning Joey's sex life before I have had coffee?? Good God!! That concept is a horror at anytime but before coffee?? It might just send me screaming into the street!!
He lied about being a lifelong city resident, I suspect he's lying about having both inspection citations overturned (if they even existed in the first place), I don't believe that he's witholding paying taxes, and I call bull****e on the claim that an assault 25 years ago only cost him a $350 fine.
The Times Leader clearly took everything Pilchesky said at face value without researching or verifying any facts. Much like the typical poster at DD.
Think about it, if the Pilcheskys are delinquent in their taxes for the past two years (and I'm assuming this year hasn't been paid, either), the city and county would have already had the Sheriff's sale on that shack.
Keep in mind the exact details of the beating of the bank teller as Joe and his fans describes them, taken verbatim from his website:
In 1992 a teller at the Penn Security Bank made a comment to Pilchesky's wife that he thought was inappropriate. Normal people would have filed a complaint, if it was even true. Not Pilchesky. He went into the bank, dragged the teller over the counter, out the door and slammed him on the hood of a car, where he beat the living Hell out of him. Amazingly, he didn't get arrested for assault again, but paid a lousy fine.
The teller hit on my wife, that's old stuff, what's a guy to do?
Now, you tell me; a guy walks into a bank, grabs a teller and drags him over the counter and out the door, then beats him. A fine? No way. I call BS on this one too. The bank would have pressed charges well beyond simple assault. Joe's a legend in his own mind, and the Times-Leader is helping him get attention he doesn't deserve. Who would ever print a story about a guy who claims to have done what is described above? This man is not a hero, he's a criminal.
All of that said, I suspect it was more like Joe walked in, got into an argument with the teller, was asked to leave, refused, and was issued a fine for refusing to leave. He would have been in jail had he done what he claimed.
I don't know IHave ... but I am assuming that it was his first wife that the teller hit on ... not the current Mrs. Pilchesky that someone would have been hitting on ... from what I understand she was a very nice lady.

I always thought the Times-Leader had a habit of going after stories simply for the shock value...and this just proves it. Look, if they want to write a story about our serial plaintiff that's okay...but to somehow paint a picture of this guy as being the protagonist from the Bon Jovi song "Wanted Dead or Alive" is actually kind of comical. So with apologies to Mr Bon Jovi (note...I am NOT a fan, but my daughters are), I thought I'd finish the job for the Times-Leader:
Not Wanted (Dead or Alive)...Pilchesky version Its all the same, only the lawsuit victims will change Everyday it seems my old body is wasting away Another courtoom where the judges are so cold I'd loose another case and then I'd just drive back home
Chorus: I'm a suingboy, on a Harley I ride I'm not wanted, dead or alive Not Wanted, dead or alive
Sometimes I don't sleep, I'm up posting lies for days And the people I meet on-line worship my idiotic ways Sometimes I tell the day By the lawsuit that I've filed And times when I'm all alone I admit I'm a bitter old troll
Chorus
I walk these streets, a wireless laptop on my back I play on the internet, cause there I can always take my slanders back I been nowhere really, still I act like I'm smart And Granma believes I am, so I'll just keep acting the part
I'm a suingboy, on a Harley I ride I'm not wanted, dead or alive I'm a suingboy, I got Edith by my side Im not wanted, dead or alive I'm 1 for 28 and I'm not wanted, dead or alive

Just a thought!
