Danger city
Tuesday, November 24, 2009 at 09:05AM
The story is huge, so huge that it prompted the Eagle to Photoshop fake crime scene tape aound the Pagoda, as if that is the prime scene for crimes of violence around Reading.
The annual crime report is out and Reading ranks as the the 37th most dangerous city in the USA. (Camden holds the top spot, a position it is unlikely to relinquish before the next asteroid hits.)
Said Troy C. Heiser, president of the city police union, who clearly has an ox to gore: "If crime is increasing and we are No. 2 to Philadelphia in the state, layoffs clearly are foolish. There have been three homicides and 10 people shot in the past 10 days and this isn't even the peak season. This isn't a good trend going into the holidays."
Peak season? Do elaborate.

The above quote is another typical stupid statement from a complete idiot. "Homo's Dirty Shorts", do ever think about ANYTHING you say?
None of Boscov's stores are located in the city and he probably doesn't live in the city, so he really doesn't have any incentive to try to help Reading but he STILL volunteers his time and effort trying to revitalize the city. What the hell do YOU do except whine about the Dem political party?
By the way, you stupid son of a bitch, make sure that you go to page 2 to see the latest bitch slapping that I gave you about Reading's fire department.
Moly who cares about your lame bitch slappings. You are a loser. And I could care less about your babbling rants. I simply asked why you only picked on the firemen when all the unions in the city refused concessions. It's a moot point. I don't live in the city. You never answered the question so I must again assume some city fire guy(s) long boned your momma. Why else would you pick on one group and ignore the same actions of two others. AND I managed to drive you to incredibly funny and longwinded rants. So who is a jerkoff here. Now go take mom for her shots because left untreated, venerial disease can kill. Ask Al Capone.

LOLOLOLOLOL? What the hell, "Homo's Dirty Shorts", are you a pre-teenaged girl? What guy says "LOLOLOLOLOL"?
By the way, how's your mama? Is she still offering sex for beers down at the corner bar?
