CHERLIE LAFLEUR IS OUT OF PRISON!
Posted on May 14th, 2013 25 comments*** BREAKING NEWS ***
& HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE!
Cherlie LaFleur, the 19-year-old McCaskey student charged with one misdemenor count of concealing the death of a child and being held in jail on one million dollars bond was released today on her own recognizance after a bail hearing this morning in front of District Judge Janice Jimenez.
I can not give specifics or name names, but if you don’t think you can make a difference, then heed this story because two determined people who were outraged by LaFleur’s situation sent endless emails and made endless calls to help her. My heartfelt thanks to them and there will be much more on this story at a later date. (You can click here and here to read the two LNP stories and here for mine, “DISGUSTING GRANDSTANDING BY THE DA!”).
Please note that this Thursday, May 16th, from 11:00 am to 3:00 pm, I will be in front of the Lancaster Police Department protesting the 16 unsolved murders under Mayor Gray in the last six-and-one-half years and asking people to sign a petition requesting the State Attorney General’s Office step in to assist in getting justice for the victim’s families and the killers off the street. On Friday I will be in front of City Hall for those same hours and on Saturday in front of the Lancaster Newspaper’s Office at 8 W. King Street for those same hours protesting their discrimination in hiring and failure to cover these murders and hold the police accountable.
To this morning’s story – the man who was arrested has not yet been identified. I left a voicemail this afternoon with Police Spokesman Lt. Todd Umstead and I am awaiting his return call. -

WHAT IF THIS HAPPENED…
Posted on May 12th, 2013 5 commentsTO YOUR MOTHER, BARBARA?
They’re curious about changes in their local newspaper. They know what they like — letters to the editor and community news. And they’re just as sure about what they don’t — articles that jump to more than one page and, as Doris puts it, any overemphasis on “bad news” and “gore.”
Barbara Hough Roda in the Sunday News column this week, “The news about town,” (click here).That is one of the most ridiculous and nasty things I have read in a long time! Overemphasis? Doris is the same age as Erma Kaylor when she was killed by having her throat brutally slashed in her home last May. Do you think it bothers Doris that her killer is still on the loose, Barbara?On this Mother’s Day, do you think Erma’s children and grandchildren think you have put an overemphasis on her unsolved murder? When was the last time her name was mentioned in your papers, Barbara? The one year anniversary of her unsolved murder is this Thursday, Barbara.Would it be alright with you if this happened to your mother, Barbara?Please check back later today. -

Mayor Gray’s House ROBBERYLANCASTER: A 20-year-old woman told police a man grabbed a wallet from her hand shortly after 10 p.m. Sunday in the 100 block of North Prince Street.From this Wednesday’s Police Log (click here).This is the block of North Prince Street where Mayor Gray lives. This is one block from the police station. There are cameras on both ends of this block. Did they catch this purse snatcher, Mayor Gray? Has he been arrested (please see Gray’s quote to WGAL below on this site about “purse snatchers” and the cameras).Please call the top five editors at the Lancaster Newspapers and tell them to stop lying about the cameras and crime in Lancaster (see the stories immediately below on this site):

UPDATED 5-11-13 AM – DO THE CAMERAS WORK? DO THE POLICE WORK?
Posted on May 10th, 2013 No commentsABSOLUTELY DESPICABLE!
Lancaster is among the safest cities of its size in Pennsylvania and Mayor Rick Gray credits, among other factors, video surveillance.From today’s New Era editorial, “ Candid camera of your own,” (not currently online).The Lancaster Newspapers are lying to you, again! Please check back this afternoon for a list of phone numbers to call these lying editors and tell them what you think of them.Their blatant lies and failure to report on the unsolved murders and crimes and thus protect the public and hold the police and mayor accountable is despicable. Absolutely despicable!SOMEONE’S LYING!
“What they’re used as is an investigative tool. After a crime has been committed, police can look for blocks around, see who was in the neighborhood and who was fleeing from the crime. If the purse snatcher is taken off the street, how many crimes does he not commit because the use of the cameras identified him early on in his criminal career?” said Lancaster Mayor Rick Gray.
Mayor Gray quoted by WGAL-TV two days ago in the story, “Do surveillance cameras in Lancaster actuallly work?” (click here).
Is that a fact, Mayor Gray? Then please explain why no arrests have been made, no camera photos released and not one physical description of a perpetrator has been provided to the public for the below four crimes that all occurred in the last month-and-a-half in which four people were shot and one stabbed seven times including in the neck:—- On Monday, April 1st, the owner of Karved Creations Barber Shop was shot in both legs in his business at 401 E. King Street (click here).
—- On Saturday, April 6th, two employees of Image Clothing were shot in the store at 713 Union Street (click here).
—- On Saturday, May 4th, a 23-year-old was stabbed multiple times outside the Village Nightclub (click here).
—- Last night, a man was shot somewhere near the 500 block of Woodward Street (click here).
So, with the cameras in place and trained, professional police officers, can you tell us why no arrests have been made in these four very serious crimes, Mayor Gray?
There will be more tomorrow. -
ERNIE GETS WORRIED!
Posted on May 9th, 2013 1 commentBLATANT DISCRIMINATION!
Apparently Lancaster Newspaper’s Executive Editor Ernie Schreiber has never seen a Black Police Officer in Lancaster (click here)! Not only that, their reporter got lucky and took a picture of the Black Officer actually doing his job! Imagine that?And note that Officer Smith had to get a “Visitor’s” Badge to enter that all-white fortress at 8 West King Street. And watch Ernie’s face change in the opening seconds of the video. Is he realizing that Officer Smith will look around the newsroom and realize there are no minorities? Does he think Officer Smith might realize it’s the Lancaster Newspapers who have lead the county in discrimination? Is he worried Officer Smith might realize Lancaster is forty years behind the times because of the Lancaster Newspapers?Officer Smith is modest and honest in this video. But as a poster said on the People of Lancaster Facebook page who noted this is the third article they are milking out of this story, “I’m embarrassed for LNP.”More on the cameras and the unsolved murder of Hector Ortiz-Fuentes will come tomorrow along with next Saturday’s (May 18th) protest in front of the LNP office for their blatant discrimination in hiring. -
SHAME ON YOU, WGAL!
Posted on May 9th, 2013 4 comments16 UNSOLVED MURDERS!
Have an extra “grand” laying around? The front-page of today’s paper! Click here to read the story.
“What they’re used as is an investigative tool. After a crime has been committed, police can look for blocks around, see who was in the neighborhood and who was fleeing from the crime. If the purse snatcher is taken off the street, how many crimes does he not commit because the use of the cameras identified him early on in his criminal career?” said Lancaster Mayor Rick Gray.
News 8 asked the mayor for any specific cases he remembers where cameras really helped and he told the story of a murder where cameras saw the suspect running into a house. Police surrounded that house in minutes and when the man tried to casually walk out, he was arrested and now he’s serving a life sentence.
From WGAL-TV, “Do surveillance cameras in Lancaster actually work?” (click here).
Shame on you, WGAL! There are sixteen unsolved murders under Mayor Gray and too many unsolved shootings and stabbings to count. Shame on you, WGAL!

HOW’S THAT “QUALITY OF LIFE,” MAYOR GRAY?
Posted on May 8th, 2013 No commentsWHERE ARE THE DESCRIPTIONS?
WHERE ARE THE PICTURES?
LANCASTER: A woman told police that a male grabbed a $199 Nook from her around 10:15 p.m. Friday in the 600 block of South Lime Street. The suspect was with three other males. The woman said all four appeared to be ages 13-17.
LANCASTER: A woman reported to police that a man with a gun robbed her of $40 around 6:45 p.m. Thursday in the 300 block of West Mifflin Street.LANCASTER: A woman said her $150 cellphone was taken by a man around 2:45 p.m. Thursday in the first block of East Orange Street.From yesterday’s Police Log (click here).Where are the descriptions of these robbers? The second two happened in broad daylight! The second one involved a gun! Where are the victim’s descriptions? Where?There are cameras right there for the second two (click here for the map of cameras in the city). Where are pictures from the cameras?Do the police think these are “isolated” events? Do they think the man with a gun won’t rob again and not shoot someone?I see incidents like this in the Police Log everyday and nothing is done about them! That’s why the police have a website and a Facebook page! Where are the descriptions so the public can help get these criminals off the street?What do the Lancaster Police do? How’s that “quality of life in Lancaster,” Mayor Gray? Where are the descriptions, Lancaster Newspapers? Where is the follow-up?This is just unbelievable! -

* UPDATED 5-6-13 – BLATANT COVER-UP BY LNP!
Posted on May 5th, 2013 1 comment* There is breaking news about a stabbing in Lancaster Saturday night. More details will follow.
I CAN PROVE IT!
Monday’s murder is the fourth in the city this year. Besides the current case, one other, the slaying of 83-year-old Erma Kaylor in May, remains unsolved.
From the Lebanon Daily News in a story they took from the Lancaster Newspapers almost word for word – click here for “Lancaster city police investigating possible homicide.” It is the third paragraph from the end of the story.
I have stated that the Lancaster Newspapers not only ignore the unsolved murders in Lancaster, they purposely go out of their way to avoid any coverage of them. I can prove it.
The above two sentences were previously in the Lancaster Newspaper’s article. I saw it go up and I read the sentences. And where else would the Lebanon Daily News get the sentences?
Within several hours they were removed from the Lancaster Newspaper’s coverage. Click here for the LNP story without the sentences.
This story was also reprinted by the York Daily Record with the sentences, however, the story is in their paid archive system and I cannot link directly to it.
Why in the world would the Lancaster Newspapers purposely go in and delete these two sentences from their coverage?

DISGUSTING GRANDSTANDING BY THE DA!
Posted on May 4th, 2013 No comments[Editor's note: Cherlie LaFleur is in Lancaster County Prison charged with one misdemeanor and bail is set at $1,000,000 cash. Her preliminary hearing is currently scheduled for May 10th at 9:00 am in front of District Judge Janice Jimenez. Out of shock and disgust, I am rerunning the below story.]
DA STEDMAN:
UTTERLY SICKENING!
Wednesday night, he [Lancaster County District Attorney Craig Stedman] called the case “utterly sickening,” and said that by making no effort to get medical help for her child, LaFleur “guaranteed his fate.”
From the LNP article, “Police: McCaskey student, 19, gave birth in school bathroom and discarded baby in trash can,” (click here).Is this the way you try to show that Lancaster County is tough on crime, DA Stedman? By putting a 19-year-old girl in jail on a million dollar bond for what is currently a misdemeanor?You find this “utterly sickening,” DA Stedman?Do you find the brutal slashing death of 83-year-old Erma Kaylor in her home “utterly sickening,” DA Stedman? Do you find it “utterly sickening” that almost a year after her murder no one has been charged and her killer is still on the street?Do you find the horrific arson death of Olga Sanchez-Reyes, “utterly sickening,” DA Stedman? Do you find it “utterly sickening” that well over two years after her murder no one has been charged and her killer is still on the street?As the chief law enforcement officer in Lancaster County, DA Stedman, do you find it “utterly sickening” that there are sixteen unsolved murders in the city of Lancaster in six-and-one-half years? Do you find it “utterly sickening” that there are sixteen killers loose on the street?This comment was posted on Lancaster Online under the story:A baby is dead. A young girl in prison – with $1 million bail. She needs help in ways we cannot understand. Instead of bashing her – as a believer – I will pray for her.Thank you!Please see the story below for a horrific case of child abuse of a new-born baby and what District Attorney Craig Stedman did about that. -
UNCONSCIONABLE LNP!
Posted on May 1st, 2013 No commentsCHICKEN SH*T!
From today’s paper on page B-1.
The reward for the killers of the dead chicken is almost the same as the reward for the killer of 83-year-old Erma Kaylor in her West Vine Street home a year ago. And at this point, the dead chicken has gotten more press by the Lancaster Newspapers than many of the sixteen unsolved murders in the city under Mayor J. Richard Gray.

SWIFT APPREHENSION OF CRIMINALS?
Posted on April 25th, 2013 No commentsWHERE’S THE IMAGE?
In most cases, photographs of people fleeing from an accident or thugs involved in a crime should be immediately available to the public. Their prompt release helps, as the Boston case showed, in the swift apprehension of criminals.Yesterday’s New Era editorial, “Video cameras in public places.” (click here).When is the last time you’ve seen a photograph from the Lancaster cameras? When? There were two employees shot at the Image Clothing store on April 6th (click here). We haven’t seen an image – we haven’t even gotten a description!The week before, the owner of Karved Creations Barber Shop was shot. We haven’t seen an image – we haven’t even gotten a description of his shooter!Needless to say, no one has been arrested in either shooting! How much longer can this go on? What do these police do? Where are the images, Lancaster New Era?In fact, during Carl Dixon’s recent trial where he was acquitted, he testified that he wanted surveillance camera video to back up his story but there was none available.The editors of the Lancaster Newspapers have an absolute responsibility to tell us if these cameras work and why the public is not seeing these images! Why don’t the Lancaster Newspapers tell us? They have the nerve to write an editorial like this knowing that there have been no images released to the public from the Lancaster cameras in years!Please check back later today. -

THE LANCASTER POLICE HONOR GUARD
Does discrimination remain in Lancaster County (please see this morning’s post immediately below)? Almost a year ago today, sparked by a visit to the courthouse where no minorities were visible and several visits to the Police Station, I decided to find out:
THE POLICE DEPARTMENT
In response to a Right-To-Know request to the City of Lancaster for the gender and racial breakdown of the Lancaster City Police Department, the following figures were received from Patrick Hopkins, the city Business Administrator:
(Click here for the results.)
THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY’S OFFICE,
THE CLERK OF COURTS, PROTHONOTARY
& SHERIFF’S OFFICES
In response to a Right-To-Request for the District Attorney’s Office regarding race and gender the following figures were received this past Friday:
…Combine this with the other three offices already accounted for (click here), and there are a total of 242 Courthouse employees, of which there is not a single black male, there are two black females and 14 Hispanics. This is unconscionable.
(Click here for the DA’s office and here for the other three.)
A year ago, I also put in a Right-To-Know request for the breakdown for the Adult Probation and Parole and Children & Youth Offices. I’ll publish those new figures tomorrow. -

From Friday’s New Era editorial, “An assault on press freedom,” (click here).Would someone tell this to “investigative reporter” Gil Smart? He thinks his only job is to make the Steinmans more money!You expect information that can be trusted. You demand accountability.
We editors, reporters, online journalists, photographers and artists are here to shine a light on that which is significant to you and ultimately connects us all. We strive to make a great place to live an even better place to live.
Barbara Hough Roda in the Sunday News column, “Community connections,” (click here).Talk, talk, talk. That’s all these editors at LNP do! How is purposely avoiding a broken police department and sixteen unsolved murders under Mayor Gray holding anyone accountable and making this an even better place to live?Barbara goes on to say:We encourage your feedback and, to that end, provide contact information in a newsroom directory on LancasterOnline.com and, today, on Page B7 of this newspaper.The trouble with your impressive list on Page B7, Barbara, is that everyone in your newsroom directory is white! One of the most common standards in journalism, as in everything, Barbara, is that your newsroom should reflect the make-up of the community.You are clearly descriminating in your hiring, and thus, you are not only breaking the law but you also fail to write about the lack of diversity in the police department, the courthouse and the District Attorney’s Office. Those departments, Barbara, are central to our democracy and the quality of life of all of your readers!Finally this morning, why was long-time House of Representatives member Mike Sturla gathering wood in red socks last night in Lancaster?

LNP: INDEPENDENT MONITOR OF POWER OR THE POWER?
Posted on April 10th, 2013 1 commentWHO’S PULLING
THE STRINGS?
The other factor is the plutocracy which actually runs Lancaster from behind the scenes. Does anyone really believe that an intelligent person like Rick Gray would really support a ridiculous project like the proposed streetcars without an incredible amount of pressure on him? Gray HAD to know that the hotel and convention center would be a losing proposition for taxpayers, yet he still publicly supported it.
The single biggest obstacle to running for mayor (OR city council) is whether or not a person is approved by those who pull the strings in Lancaster City.
This is part of a comment from “concerned citizen” several months ago under the story, “A TRUE EDITARD” on this site (click here and there are other very interesting comments under this post).The major string puller in Lancaster County is the Lancaster Newspapers. Period. As the monopoly press in the county, they exert unbelievable control.On January 19, 2013 they ran an article about Gray running for mayor for a third time and two videos of nothing but Gray facing their camera and campaigning for himself (click here).There is not one mention of crime in the story or the two videos. There is not one mention of the sixteen unsolved murders under Mayor Gray’s leadership. Not one!There is no mention of the many, major unsolved crimes in Lancaster under Mayor Gray. Not one.There is not another newspaper in this country that would ignore 16 unsolved murders in six years in a city of 50,000 people. It is directly because of the Lancaster Newspapers purposeful avoidance of any discussions or questions of the police that these unsolved murders and crimes continue to remain unsolved.It is directly putting the citizens of Lancaster at risk but the Lancaster Newspapers don’t care. The only thing fueling them is their convention center and Gray’s support of it.Gray is nothing more than a lying puppet and the Lancaster Newspapers are an absolute disgrace to their profession and to the citizens of Lancaster. Gray and the Lancaster Newspapers, especially Executive Editor Ernie Schreiber, need to get run out of town.The sixteen unsolved murders are again listed below. They are real. You can look them up.Tomorrow, the in-depth look at the horrific arson murder of Olga Sanchez-Reyes over two years ago will come along with Ernie Schreiber and LNP’s unbelievable response to it.1.

16 UNSOLVED MURDERS UNDER MAYOR GRAY!
Posted on April 9th, 2013 1 commentSCHREIBER: EVIL!
The police department in Lancaster surely seems broken.This comment in under “DO THESE THINGS WORK?” below on this site.It has been broken for years because the Lancaster Newspapers repeatedly refuse to hold the police accountable.Executive Editor Ernie Schreiber wrote the column for the Sunday News print edition two weeks ago that I still cannot find online, and he had the unmitigated gall to quote the Pew Research Center’s Project for Excellence in Journalism:In its annual report on the state of journalism released this month, the Pew Research Center’s Project for Excellence in Journalism found that the slide in newspaper readership has stopped. “After years of decline, total daily circulation in 2012 stayed even with 2011, falling only 0.2 percent,” it reported.It is the PEW Center’s “Principles of Journalism” that I quote over and over again to demonstrate that the Lancaster Newspapers are not doing their job or upholding any of the principles or standards of journalism (click here).The title of Ernie’s column was: “Local news, alive and well.”That is absurd! I have a list of over 15 items I will share with you tomorrow that clearly demonstrate that “local news” is not alive and well. The two leading items on that list are racism and the police.Many months ago, I actually went to the PEW site to look up the definition of “news” because of the Lancaster Newspapers. I repeated the definition directly to Ernie Schreiber – the only time I have ever met this man in person.It involved the unsolved murder of Olga Sanchez-Reyes that has been in the permanent post at the top of this site for over two years. I’m going to go into detail on that case and Ernie Schreiber’s role tomorrow.When a newspaper editor fails to hold the police accountable and thereby directly puts the public at risk, the term “evil” fits.
