Don't fall into Antis Auntie's trap. He knows damn well the majority of people getting pinched for DUI are white. First of all, if you;re going to be part of a racket, you want to nail people with the money, which Olecki does sucessfully. Second of all, black people don't drink and drive. Sure, a hand full do; but by and large drinking and driving is a white thing. Black people really don't drink.
Black people have their faults, no doubt; but DUI ain't one.

Just two thoughts about this:
Anti really is a racist...and he notes it right here. Not only are all Irish in-bred, but now we have that drinking and driving is a "white thing". Personally, I view drinking and driving NOT as a function of race, but as a function of a dysfunctional personal character. That cuts across all racial and other lines.
Anti really isn't black and he really is a moron. Black people don't drink? I don't know if their consumption of alcohol is, per capita, greater than that of white people, but I do know this: THEY DO DRINK. In fact, they drink so much of certain kinds of alcohol that the producers of those drinks specifically target advertising at them (see reference here).
It's getting to the point where Anti is becoming a parody of himself. The clown avatar is spot-on, although he needs to change the person from a Wayans brother to more of a soft, doughy, middle-aged white guy.

Somewhere on the border of comical and pathetic is Hardcore's demand for facts from Auntie to back up his (her?) assertions.
Hardcore, facts never meant a damn thing on that board until...well, they still don't.
Auntie's exposing Anti to be the clown that his avatar presents him to be, and now you're going to stroll in and try and save him? How romantic.
As long as you're demanding facts, we've been looking for proof for about a week now on whether the young man cited in a thread earlier is in the Mayor's son. We've seen no proof, nor have we seen your noble demand for one.
We've been looking for actual proof of a lot of things that you folks either have nothing close to, or that you just haven't gotten around to demanding FOR us. Start demanding, chief. Get defensive for all of us, not just when your boy is being held up as the fool.
Don't you just love it when that FILTHY RACIST PIG Anti gets frustrated and ends one of his posts with just a "f&^k you"? Along the lines of this gem from our favorite doughy, guilt-ridden, middle class white man Anti...
"Ok, nobody. Go **** youself."
I wonder if he pulled that line from one of the many books he quotes? Maybe Noam Chomsky used it in a speech once.
The remarkable thing about Anti is that does try so hard to be this pseudo-intellectal, but it all falls apart when you squeeze him just a little bit. That's why he has a home of sorts on DD: there, he rarely gets squeezed (well except for now...and we all see what's happening).

The ICN are the biggest welfare recipients. And, to top it off, they're stingy.
Scranton is a dead city, kept alive by life support. By the time sustenance from federal urban renewal programs began to decline by the early 1970s, politicians like McDade made political deals and successfully landed federal money to local businesses and developers to compensate for federal retrenchment.
In terms of creating economic growth, Scranton's urban elite have failed. Miserably.
In terms of getting money from the federal and state government to fuel private enterprise, Scranton's urban elite have been masterful.
After 1999, when McDade retired, Scranton was left with no life support. This is where DCED and Doherty come in: in order to get grant money, the city had to restructure-- privatize, sell off assets, slash services. This restructuring gave Doherty the ability and incentive to borrow money-- which fuels the machine. Doherty's debt is to the 2000s what McDade's Steamtown, USA (and other projects) was to the late 1980s and early 1990s.
Is Scranton on life support or not? Ass-clown can't even keep it straight within his own posts. And he wants people to take him seriously?
The FILTHY RACIST PIG Anti proves with just about every post that sounding intellectual and actually making intelligent points are two very different things.
Case in point: Anti makes it sound as if Scranton was the only city that lost direct federal funding in the late 1970's (it wasn't). He also makes it sound as if Scranton is the only city that vies for federal money for various urban projects (it isn't). Scranton plays the game that every other municipality plays in this country. Every single one of them. You can argue that it's wrong...and I could see that point...but again Anti isn't talking about facts here, just culled talking points that serve to bolster his mock theories of race and class structure.
Lastly, can someone enlighten me as to which city services have been "slashed"? When last I checked, my garbage is still picked up every week, the police seem to be around in sufficient numbers and the firemen still seem to respond to the occasional fire.

Ya but now we have to bring our trash around to the front sidewalks. I remember when they came around the back of your house for it. LOL I am not over that horrible service slashing yet! I am still traumatized from it. So there!! That's what happens when you "slash" services people get traumitized. I have to go lay down now as I am very distressed with having to relive that horrible event. :))

lol I remember it well. :)) I also remember them banging the crap out of them as they walked them up from the back yard, about woke the dead some mornings. LOL LOL
This will perhaps go towards the construction of a library in South Side. And KEEP IN MIND the Albright might be handed over to Lackawanna; it will no longer be a public facility-- where will the homeless go in below 0 weather during the day?
You've got to be kidding, right? You think that its OK for homeless to be hanging around in the library? Yeah, I'd feel really safe with my kids possibly needing to go to the library to work on a school project and have crack addicted bums hanging around in there.(that is quite an assumption that you make ... allhomeless people are crack addicts and bums .... WOW ... where is your compassion ... what about the poor people who are victims of circumstance ... and here I thought you were the champion of the poor .... not all homeless people are drug addicts ... some are poor people who have become so far behind that they have nothing else ... do you really think they like living the way they live ... you are scum ... and you should sit back and say this to yourself .... "There but for the grace of God goI!!! ... you could become one of them tomorrow ... hopefully you will not ... but never say never you PIG!)I believe there are homeless shelters in ths city....the library should not be allowed to be a hangout for bums. (Hell if they let you in ... why not let the homeless (bums) in! I would rather my children be exposed to the homeless and learn compassion for people less fortunate then they are than to be exposed to a racist pig like you! You are for the rights of the poor .... MY A$$ ... can't get any poorer than these people ... I guess you have a problem with St. Francis Kitchen also!)
Although I do oppose a South Side library. South Side is an asinine location for a central library. It should be downtown, and why should money be spent on a new building when we already have one downtown? I smell something fishy with Lackawanna gobbling up properties they way they have been.... (I smell something also and it disturbs me ... I smell racist swines ... and you are the leader and Pappa Pilchesky well he provides you with a forum ... I should have started this place to expose you and not Joe ... as you are far more dangerous than Pappa Pilchesky could ever hope to be!!!)
My comments in case you could not guess .... appear in blue!

The sad part here is that there should be an open, honest and rational debate ifthere was a proposal to sell the Albright Memorial Building to Lackawanna College. Unfortunately, clowns like that filthy racist PIG Anti would try and turn it into a podium for spouting his Art Bell-esque theories about secret societies running the world. Pesonally I would oppose any such sale. The Albright Building is a part of the fabric of Scranton...it is a treasure that should continue to belong to generations of Scrantonians into the future. However I'm not overly worried about the potential of a sale, as, like most DD rumors, this one hasn't been proven to be right anyway.

It very well may turn out that the building can be used as nothing other than a public library ... I am sure that the Albright family when they donated this building for use as a library may very well have established a rule that it may only be used as a public library ... that is the problem with many of the sites where old schools once were ... the land was donated to the SSD and this land can only be used for a school. Perry Avenue and I believe Farr St. have sites as I have described.
I am guessing but have no proof that the Albright Memorial Library may have the same sort of stipulation ... otherwise don't you all think that Lackawanna would have bought it long ago ... Cordaro would have sold it in a heartbeat ... if he could!

Another paraphrased gem from Anti - ::: You think that its OK for homeless to be hanging around in the library? Yeah, I'd feel really safe with my kids possibly needing to go to the library to work on a school project and have crack addicted bums hanging around in there... :::
Lus partial reply ::: ... that is quite an assumption that you make ... all homeless people are crack addicts and bums .... WOW :::
Where's Sherri now? With all the "lumping" going on over at dd, you'd think she'd have some funky retort for him.
And from my personal experience, I've had many opportunities to be at the Library at different times of the day to do some research on the second floor. Yes I have seen quite a few people (I admit, some of which I would cross the street to avoid) sitting at the tables reading. I think what pisses Anti off is that they are reading the Scranton Times-Tribune and not plugged into a computer, posting to dee dee dot com and pointing fingers at the administration for everything they lack.
Shari reserves her lumping comments to us ... we are the only ones quilty of lumping! Shame on you Girl for thinking that the kids across the hall would ever stoop to our level (God knows we are nothing more than stooping lumpers ... with snarky little attitudes) ... now don't get your panties in a bunch Shari as Glenn is the one who stated that we stoop and that we are snarky ... I know it wasn't you!

My reference to "stooping" and being "snarky" was made in the context that you folks usually make your points and validate your opinions very eloquently without having to resort to name-calling and infantile remarks about someone's lack of genitalia.
