Daniel Hubbard, president of the Lower Green Ridge Neighborhood Association, addresses a question regarding the Scranton Flood Protection Project for the Plot and Lower Green Ridge sections at a 2007 meeting at Weston Fieldhouse. (File photo)
A Green Ridge man is facing charges he threatened a neighbor with a gun.
Daniel Hubbard, 38, of 1515 Gardner Ave., allegedly pointed a handgun at Dustin Thompson as the two men argued Thursday evening over a shed Mr. Thompson wanted to build at 1501 Gardner.
According to the arrest affidavit filed by Officer Matthew Phillips, Mr. Hubbard was on the porch of his mother's home at 1507 Gardner and arguing with Mr. Thompson about 5:15 p.m. when he left and returned with a handgun.
He pointed the gun at Mr. Thompson, pulled back the slide as if cycling a round into the weapon's chamber and said, "Come at me," the affidavit said.
As he continued to shout at Mr. Thompson and his girlfriend, Tara Sacchetti, he allegedly said he was not afraid to use the weapon.
"I'll shoot you - I don't care," he shouted, the affidavit said.
Police charged Mr. Hubbard with terroristic threats and harassment.

Bringing back an oldie but a goodie, from June 20, 2008...
Retracts claims
Editor: The purpose of this letter is to rescind the multiple accusations and negative remarks I have made at Scranton City Council meetings regarding Daron Northeast. The statements I made were misleading, malicious and without merit.
Among the false allegations I made toward Daron Northeast were:
I stated that Daron was “not in compliance” and that it “exploited loopholes” to get the company up and running. Daron Northeast followed the proper guidelines to start its manufacturing operations in the city of Scranton and did nothing to exploit the city or the zoning officials. Daron submitted all the proper applications and received all the appropriate approvals to begin its operations in 2003.
I also stated that Daron Northeast violated local zoning ordinances “30-some times.” I had and still have no basis for that accusation. To my knowledge, there is not one existing zoning ordinance being violated by Daron Northeast at this time.
I have accused the city administration of protecting Daron Northeast and lining its pockets as a result of that. I have no basis for that accusation whatsoever. Daron Northeast has followed all the proper channels and guidelines in establishing its business within the city limits.
My statements accusing Daron Northeast of causing “long-term lung damage” as a result of Daron’s operations and “operating illegally polluting the environment and killing residents” were made recklessly and without any merit. I have no reason to believe that these statements have any truth whatsoever.
For these reasons, I am hereby retracting the above statements that I have made about Daron Northeast.

I find it funny how Dan and Joe constantly call the mayor a crook ... call the mayor corrupt ... but yet they are the ones constantly being caught violating the laws ... hmmmmmm
Oh and I just love to throw this one in ... I was at a friends house up on Oak St. in North Scranton ... I am not sure of the address but would venture to say that it is the 500 block ... just past Neen's Cafe ... anyway loud and clear as anything I could hear the flood siren's going off in the Plot ... they were testing them as we were due for a pisser of a rain storm ... and I began to think ... hell if I could hear them all the way up there and they were loud ... then why the hell can't Hubbard hear them in Lower Greenridge. He must hear them when they go off as there is also one located at the Farmer's Market and together they make on hell of a racket! So that is more likely than not why they are not putting on by Danny's house ... because it would be overkill on the loudness of the Siren's.

Yes, I too actually broke down and went to DD to read the thread on this, or should I say "attempted" to read the thread on this. For the record, I don't think I've opened DD since about early June.
Anyway, the attempts at justification for Hubbard's nonsense is nothing short of ridiculous. In typical Pilchesky fashion, he uses 300 words and lots of violent themes to try and somehow dance around the issue. For sake of clarity, let me spell it out:
Danny Hubbard, an abject failure, once again let his ego reach exceed this physical grasp. If he did indeed point a gun at his neighbor he is guilty, period. Outside of the other guy pulling a gun on him first, (which not even the psychos at DD are claiming), there is never justification for pulling out a firearm simply because you are having a heated argument with a neighbor.
Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.

I haven't read the drivel from across the hall yet, but I must say, I'm glad I read The Times-Tribune because I'd imagine the nonsense written across the hall is faaaaar from the truth.
It always amazes me that they get caught bending or breaking the law time after time after time, and in their minds everybody else is always wrong and those loons are always right.
I think about that occasionally two whwn will she be in the slammer......ahhhhh to want to be like Joe you really are an idiot.....least I can agree with everyone on this topic....:)
We all know that Danny Boy will claim that the constitution give him the right to bear arms ... and infact they are defending him on DD and on City Data last I checked ... I don't really go to either site anymore but I did check that out ... you have a few on City Data that just don't think Dan would be capable of any type of violence ... some know exactly what he is ... a nut who runs around screaming about the lack of flood sirens ... and talking about guns ... and his right to carry said weapon on his person ... but I do not believe that the constitution gives him the right to pull that weapon on his neighbor who put a shed up in a spot that Danny does not approve of ... silly laws ... they were meant for everyone except Joe, Edith and Dan.
Oh and I can't wait until Edith goes to jail either ... seems to me if she didn't get all of the continuances that she would have this pesky business done and over with by now.

The neighbor went onto the Hubbard property (trespass) and made physical contact with Mrs. Hubbard (harassment/assault). He and his significant other then exaggerated the facts (filing a false police report) and had to back down right before the hearing to avoid lying further (perjury).
The man is lucky he didn't get shot (self-defense), which admittedly would have been hard to do with an unloaded gun that was never aimed at anything but the owner's foot.
Spoken like a true defense attorney. For some reason I thought you just did tax and real estate law...
Anyway, while I don't doubt that there are two sides to this story, I think even you (Glenn) have to admit that Hubbard is a hot-head. Had this been the first time that Danny was involved with a dispute where there were claims of exaggeration I might believe you in totality...but we all know that Hubbard doesn't exactly have a stellar record in this regard.
IF the neighbor trespassed on Hubbard property...
IF there was some physicality between the neighbor and a Hubbard...
THEN Danny should have kept the weapon in the house and simply called the police. That's why we pay them. Playing "Dirty Harry" is stupid at best.

I agree that cooler heads must prevail in a situation like this. Unfortunately, there never seems to be a cooler head around when required and it rarely (never) ends well.
I wonder just who is telling the truth here, when Joe Pilchesky is the eye witness ... well I have to wonder what really did happen. There are plenty of people out there that know the neighbor and well they seem to think he's a nice guy ...
And there are three sides to every story ... ex: My side ... your side ... and then there is the truth. The truth somehow always gets lost inside 2 sides ...
Dan was wrong to pull a gun ... plain and simple ... there is no other way for me to see this one. But you are entitled to your opinion as I am ... so we will have to agree to disagree on this one Glenn.

I was taking a little trip through the Dan Hubbard thread this morning ... there is a lot of $hit to shovel through on that thread .... anyway there is a thread that Pilchesky states he was working on his McDowell breifs and that he had to go through the posts concerning Mr. Thompson and Ms Schecetti ... that there were pictures posted and thing said about them that should not have been included in the thread ... anyway I then come across this particular post:
What happened to the pictures I posted? Why not let everyone see the two drunken bar flies for what they are? Pictures don't lie, that's for sure.
(http://www.dohertydeceit.com/amannamedjed.gif)
Now Joe claims that he had to take the pictures down because they never should have been posted ... guess who this poster is ... that's right kids it's one of the many disfunctional personalities of a man named ... not Jed ... but Joe Pilchesky.
Right Click that avatar and what do you get ... that's right the DohertyDeceit.com address proving that it is Joe Pilchesky himself that posted those pictures ... he is fanning the flames of this battle ... not that I really care about Dan Hubbard because I don't ... but Pilchesky is using Danny Boy once again ... Dan will you never learn?
To Joe Pilchesky I say this .... GET A LIFE
