WHAT’S THE DOCKET NUMBER?

     A comment posted on Jerry Puryear’s Facebook page “Staywoke717” about the McDonald’s gift cards for the homeless he has been flashing constantly for two days.
 
     No. Do not “donate” a penny to this lying thief. He has been screaming at the camera literally all day long today. Someone get this man the mental help he so desperately needs or he will be back in jail very shortly.
     I will begin his lies today and continue next week:
        — He does not have a federal lawsuit against the Lancaster City Police. He has stated this multiple times and it is a lie. What’s the docket number, Jerry?

*** BREAKING NEWS ***
PURYEAR CHARGED!

     Jerry Puryear was charged with “Prohibited Possession” and “Disorderly Conduct – Engage in Fighting” at 7:13 am this morning (pictured at left being arrested). His bail has been set at $20,000 unsecured so he is free. His preliminary hearing is currently scheduled for September 30th before District Judge Bruce Roth. Click here for his docket and there will be more to come.

*   Posted on Jerry Puryear’s live feed last night before the police took him out of his car at gunpoint. It was an unbelievable hour-long rant and he repeatedly showed his McDonald’s $5 gift cards which he never did hand out to the homeless. There will be more to come.

THE WRATH OF ROTH!

     District Judge Bruce Roth will revisit the $1 million dollar bail he set for protesters today (click here for the above LNP article). From October of 2017, I published the below on this site (click here for the original). Who holds these judges accountable? There will be more on Roth later today.
PURYEAR ARRESTED?
     The Lancaster City Police took Jerry Puryear of the Facebook page “Staywoke717” out of his car during a live feed last night (a screenshot is above). It is not known at this time if he has been/will be charged. He threatened to shoot people in the face so they would have to have a closed casket. He showed a gun but it is believed to be a BB gun because as a convicted felon he cannot own a “real” gun.

WILL LNP HELP HIM?

 

     From today’s LNP article (click here) and on the right part of an email I received today (thank you). It looks like a lot of people knew he was an LNP employee so they stated it after trying to hide the fact. So will LNP help with his $1 million dollar bail and does he still have a job?

***  The Chameleon Club is the subject of a story on LNP right now (click here). The below article from this site, “UNACCEPTABLE JUDICIAL BEHAVIOR),” was published on September 4, 2019 (click here for the original). District Judge Bruce Roth apparently thinks that this man who owes hundreds of thousands of dollars should be above the law. Why is Roth still in office?
**    Unbelievable! District Judge Bruce Roth has been corrupt for years (click here for the LNP article shown at left)! Why hasn’t LNP held him accountable? Why is he still a District Judge? There will be more on Roth to follow shortly.

   NLCRPD Forensic Team members and Criminal Investigation Unit Detectives and secured a search warrant for further on scene processing. The Office of the Lancaster County District Attorney was consulted concerning the matter in accordance with NLCRPD policy requirements and best practice protocols. The investigation is ongoing and no further information will be released to avoid jeopardizing the continuing nature of the investigation.
From the Northern Lancaster County Regional Police Department’s press release on the stabbing and linked to below in this post.
     Are they serious? What about jeopardizing the public with a vicious stabber on the loose? The public has a right and need to know! The DA’s office needs to issue an update now!

****   According to the Lancaster County Property Assessment website, there are only eight homes in the 400 block of Arrowhead Drive – #’s 400, 401, 403, 407, 409, 411, 415 and 421.

***   The deceased is a male adult, age 80 and further release of identity and determinations as to the cause and manner of death will be made by the Office of the Coroner. 
     This NLCRPD release is being made in response to concerns expressed by nearby residents and to assure community members there is no known existing threat to community safety.
Less than two months ago there was a death investigation in the 400 block of Arrowhead Drive in Lititz (click here for the Crime Watch entry excerpted above).

DECEPTIVE HEADLINES
& TERRIBLE REPORTING!

    I am tired of these deceptive headlines by LNP. His sentence is three to ten years with credit for time served! He could be out in far less than three years! And speaking of the Public Defenders Office, the DA’s office doesn’t mention the defense so LNP is too lazy to look it up – but according to his docket he was represented by Maryjean Glick of the Public Defenders Office. Click here for LNP’s rewrite of the DA’s press release.
*
***    Assistant District Attorney Fritz Haverstick, in a sentencing memo, said the abuse “wasn’t every day, but it was a lot,” quoting to the victim’s report.
From the DA’s press release by Brett Hambright, “LANCASTER MAN SENTENCED TO STATE PRISON FOR YEARS OF SEXUAL ABUSE OF GIRL,” (click here).

     What in the world?  He abused her for four years!  What does “every day” have to do with anything? This is absolutely disgusting!

**   Maybe ace LNP reporter Dan Nephin can tell the public what took the police so long to release the photos of this auto thief (click here for the police press release). And why don’t we see more images from the Safety Coalition cameras? Why, Dan? I’ve been asking that question for years, Dan! Can you explain it to me?

23-YEAR-OLD KILLED

*    Maybe LNP reporter Dan Nephin could do a follow-up on the below update (click here). Twenty-three year old William Deliz died of his injuries after being shot last Wednesday. Will the Lancaster City Police remove the killer from the streets or will this murder go unsolved?

A LNP REPORTER BRAGS!

   LNP reporter Dan Nephin is middle-aged. He has been a reporter for most of his adult life and states he worked for the Associated Press. And this man is going to brag about this LNP article on his Facebook page (click here)? You have to be kidding me. This is pathetic.

     LNP hasn’t been a trusted news source for years, Tom. You are a disgusting, lying hypocrite.
   The below is a review of the book, “Pressed” by former County Commissioner Molly Henderson (click here for the book and review on Amazon):
     As a resident of Lancaster City and a Convention Center opponent I recommend that every resident of Lancaster County read this book and learn from it. We must never allow a debacle like the Convention Center to ever happen again. The behavior of our elected officials, moguls and the local newspaper is appalling. Thank you Dr. Henderson for the enlightenment.

**   Beginning at 6:32 in the video below Jerry Puryear states the below. Everything I have said to Jerry is on this website. What a pathetic, childish liar. “Mob ties!” LOL! The video is here.

…Oh, oh, oh, oh and one more. The little old lady in Philly. I’m not going to say her name. I want everybody to know if something happens to me – this lady in Philly – she, she, she’s ratcheting it up. She said that… um… she said she’s tired of playing with me. She said people will be knocking on my door. She never said who the people were but she’s just tired of playing with me.
     She’s trying to extort money from me that I don’t have. I’m going to post all of her information up. That way if something happens to me – I got a lot of serious friends here on Facebook – they will be able to say right away go to 209 East Duval Street. Check out Becky Holzinger. She’s your prime suspect. So if the day ever come that you all get the news that something happened to Jerry, I want everybody to call and tell them that I’ve been getting threats from Becky Holzinger – 80-year-old woman – mob ties in Philadelphia – obsessed with Jerry.
*    Sigh. The other day Jerry bragged that he owns six cars. Today he announced he is getting a new car. And yet, this man cannot pay me back the $500 he owes me? Imagine that?   🙁  🙂

DON’T PRAY – PAY ME!

   

     Don’t pray for me – pay me the damn $500 dollars you owe me! Even your mother has had enough of your pathetic butt. You are a narcissistic, lying cheap creep!

GLARING WHITE PRIVILEGE

Posted on Lancaster Online’s Facebook page below the LNP story linked to immediately below in this post.
 
     Yes, what about manslaughter and involuntary manslaughter? What about reckless endangerment? What about the litany of other charges that could have been pressed against him? He killed one person, critically injured another and seriously injured two more people. 
     How fast was he going? I can’t find his docket for this. Is he just going to be mailed a summons?
     In May of this year he was stopped in Chester County for a slew of traffic violations including an unregistered vehicle, two counts of not driving at a safe speed, and  ignoring his duties at a stop sign (see below).
     If it had been a black or brown 21-year-old who was speeding and slammed into an Amish buggy killing one teen and severely injuring three other people, they’d be looking at a boatload of charges and probably be sitting in jail with a high bail amount. And that’s not pulling the race card – that’s just a fact. This kid with his confederate flag has no idea of the glaring white privilege he just received.

JUST A GOOD OLE WHITE BOY

MAW DEFAULTS ON LOAN

      MAW has defaulted on the monthly payments due on their $1.5 million dollar loan from the city of Lancaster. Their last payment was made on September 13, 2019 according to the ledger this site received under a Right-to-Know request last week.  MAW has not made a payment on the loan for a year.
     Patrick Hopkins, the city’s business administrator, told city council and the public that the loan was not risky. This site strongly disagreed.
     LNP has been so silent on this $8 or $9 million dollar debacle that many citizens have forgotten that they have paid millions for high speed, inexpensive internet for years that has never materialized.
     With schools going virtual, the need for high speed, affordable internet has never been greater. Hold these city officials accountable.
     There will be much more to come and I will be putting in more Right-to-Know requests for the legal bills the city has incurred in this outrage.

 

MONDAY, MONDAY

Jerry repeatedly waived hundred dollar bills and said it was $3,000 early in the evening and after delivering a refrigerator to Harrisburg (helping people out) he said it was $4,000.

     I have known and corresponded with your son since the unsolved murder of Spencer Houston in 2011 and he first contacted me. Someone in your family needs to get this man help before he goes back to jail. He should file for harassment? LOL! You aren’t too bright.

HYPOCRISY

     It is not clear why the new investigative reporter/leader of the watchdog team for LNP, Russ Walker, recently tweeted the below (see Sunday’s post on this site). Can it be that someone told him the truth about LNP? Did he read the book “Pressed” by former County Commissioner Molly Henderson? Did he learn that LNP breaks every code of journalism ethics in this country every day? Hmmm…

ABSOLUTE LIARS & HYPOCRITES!

     The fact that the city/Hopkins gets a free pass on this is unconscionable. LNP deserves to go out of business.
Part of a comment into this site yesterday.
     Yes, they certainly do deserve to go out of business. On December 12, 2017 I published the below (the original is here). The fact that LNP even dares to use the term “watchdog” is absolute hypocrisy and a flat-out lie.

     Correction to this morning’s post as to why MAW didn’t go to a bank for the loan -because there’s not a legitimate bank in this country that would have given MAW a $1.5 million dollar loan. 
     Please see the comments under this post and there will be much more on MAW to come this week.
     This coming Thursday, August 27th, there will be a special city council meeting  beginning at 6:00 pm regarding the rezoning request by UPMC Pinnacle to go from Hospital Complex to Mixed Use. Please see the notice and agenda below and mark your calendars.

WHERE’S THE MONEY, MAW?

From the LNP Watchdog article by reporter Dan Nephin, “With settlement between city broadband provider MAW, PPL what’s next?” (click here).
 

Hopkins

     So, this is LNP’s way of stating that MAW is not making their monthly payments on the $1.5 million dollar loan the city gave MAW. Why didn’t MAW go to a bank for the loan? Because they knew they weren’t going to pay it back.

        And business administrator Patrick Hopkins said it wasn’t risky at all to loan them a million and a half dollars. So, what happened, Patrick? How many millions has this debacle cost the citizens of Lancaster?

MILLIONS FOR NOTHING!

    This headline for the Watchdog column in today’s LNP print edition is one of the most deceptive, lying and disgusting headlines ever (click here to read the article online). The article by “reporter” Dan Nephin is the same. $500,000 dollars five years ago has turned into eight or nine million with absolutely nothing to show for it. It is one of the biggest cover-ups by LNP and that is saying something.
     Russ Walker, who just signed on to “lead the watchdog team,” needs to understand that LNP has no ethics whatsoever and he might want to read “Pressed” and reconsider this job before his reputation is forever ruined.
     There will be much more tomorrow. 

WATCHDOG TEAM?

     Here it is. It is Twitter official!

CAN THAT BOAT FLOAT?

      I was disappointed by this article and video by LNP’s fairly new food writer (click here). Her boats and the fillings just do not look appetizing! 
     I made some zucchini boats last week. They were things of beauty and delicious. They were filled with  a tomato meat sauce, spinach and topped with Parmesan!  Yum! I should have taken a picture.
     Why am I discussing zucchini boats on this Sunday? Because LNP has hired Kim O’Donnel’s “life partner” as an investigative reporter. I’m serious. Maybe he can tell us why LNP is using “skool” for her columns.

     A famous Dr. Phil saying and the cover photo on Jerry Puryear’s Facebook page  “Staywoke717.”
 
      Yesterday, Jerry said “Good Morning” on his Facebook page and a commenter posted links to his court cases involving the sexual abuse of underage girls. He posted the below live video and then deleted it. Caution: It is extremely disturbing and contains profanities and graphic language. 
     And, no, those cases were not “thrown out” and yes it is the people’s business. Someone get this man help before he hurts someone else!

HAPPY FRIDAY TO YOU, TOO!

       Somebody get Jerry Puryear mental help before he hurts someone and lands in jail again. And those on his Facebook page encouraging him and telling him how wonderful he is should be ashamed of themselves. He may have deleted this threatening and nasty video but I have it and will run it if he keeps this up.

     For nine years and three times a day, serial stalkers and harassers Steven and Cheryl Markle have sent insults into this site. Today, they put a lot of time and thought into one of them. LOL. Three times a day for nine years. Can you even imagine?
 
Have a good and safe Friday.

NEVER A NEGATIVE WORD!

      When has Patrick Hopkins been on the sh*t end of “the media” stick? Maybe LNP reporter Dan Nephin could tell us!
Please check back later today.

LNP: WE HAVE TO
CRITICIZE YOU JUDGE
BUT WE DON’T MEAN IT!

     I remember this well. It is one of the only times the Lancaster Newspapers have questioned a judge. And actually, then New Era editor Ernie Schreiber had little choice because people were outraged and the case had drawn state wide attention.
     But on the same day he ran the editorial, Schreiber also ran a front page article about Judge Rienaker forming a task force and they even had a video with Reinaker talking about it – click here for the LNP story from February of 2011, “Judge forms task force to address sex abuse in Plain community.”
     The original of the below is here and the comment that appears below in this post is under this story:

TASK FORCE REDUX

     Again? Click here for today’s LNP story. I remember the first “task force” – in fact, this comment came in about it:

WHERE’S THE INTERNET, MAW?

     The below Right-to-Know request was emailed to the City of Lancaster this afternoon. The Right-to-Know information on the city’s website is out of date and missing information and forms. They need to address these issues.
