The Democrat mayor of College Park, Maryland, a suburb of Washington, D.C. and home to the University of Maryland, has been arrested on 56 counts of possessing and distributing child pornography.

Raped an unconscious 14 year old in a toilet. I'd say there's reason to believe he is a danger to others.

That's beside the point, like it or not.

I mean. Why would you even mention that though?

Not in a small town detention center.

A lot of people would agree with that. Wilkinsburg has a proposal to merge with Pittsburgh:

There is a lot of consolidation of services with Pittsburgh in Allegheny County that don't include annexation. Waste disposal and policing in particular. EMS, not so much. IIRC, a lot of municipalities in Allegheny County maintain their own volunteer fire dept.

Also, this is such a great question. Have you checked in with r/urbanplanning to discuss the classification issue? I worked for a small neighborhood association for a few years, and we were qualified for certain CDBG grants because of our demographics. I am sure that there are other economic opportunities that are offered to 1st class tiers that aren't offered to all classes. Some of those would be infrastructure opportunities, like airports, interstate roads, and consumer rail development.

Well, every state conducts a preliminary hearing when criminal charges are filed, typically before a minor-court judge, so it’s not as if this is unusual. And since we can’t incarcerate a person for crimes they’ve been charged with prior to a trial and verdict of guilt (or, more commonly, a guilty plea), the decision to grant bail and in what amount turns on whether the person is flight risk and presents a danger to others, among other considerations. A few states have gotten rid of bail in recent years and instead use a form of pretrial supervised release. Most states, like PA, offer bail for non-capital offenses. The amount varies, but many, many criminal defendants can’t afford to post bail and wind up awaiting trial in county jail.

PA is a unique place I find. A lot of ways it runs a lot like a New England state. Unless you live in Bloomsburg we don’t live in towns we live in boroughs. I swear there are more accents and dialects in PA than any other state if you have a good ear for accents.

Like it or not, open carry freaks a lot of people out. Even in the rural areas it is silly and unnecessary.

I remember when I lived in Philly a lot of landlord/tenant stuff was handled by the city where the rest of the Commonwealth it is done through the magistrates office.

Shoot, a lot of long-term residents don't know a lot of this stuff.

This is exactly why so many victims remain silent. Disgusting

Bingo.

Yes, I read the article too, but you didn't address any of my questions.

Normal drinking age in Pennsylvania

I'd like to know how far into surrounding states this "black cloud" traveled.

And you would be speaking the truth.

Government fears an armed populace ALMOST as much as it fears an EDUCATED populace.

And an armed, educated populace? Post-apocalyptic nightmare fuel right there.

>Philly would ban all firearms except those carried by their own uniformed thugs (police) if they could. All while ignoring all of their far, FAR more obvious problems.

Could say that about pretty much any government body

Philly would ban all firearms except those carried by their own uniformed thugs (police) if they could. All while ignoring all of their far, FAR more obvious problems.

And this is coming from a trucker who once got shot at down by the Eddystone Port facilities because his TRUCK was the wrong color!

> Good, it’s always nice to meet another pro-choice person. What you agreed to is exactly why we need safe and legal abortion, therefore making you pro-choice. Take care, I’m glad we had this chat. I'm fine with that as long as they are reserved to 3 things.

1. The child will have no ability to live outside of the mother.

2. The child is a product of rape.

3. The child is a product of incest.

Heeey, my town in on Reddit! reads headline FUCK!

Oh I think the city would get smacked down hard if it was a countywide operation. It would be 900k vs 300k.

Other than perhaps the boroughs that butt right against the city most don’t view Pittsburgh as the pinnacle of governance and keeper of the public trust. The way things have gone with plowing every year has ensured that.

I am very pro choice.

1. Motherhood

2. Abstance

3. Adoption

I just don't believe in the 4th choice of killing a baby.

>Allegheny probably doesn’t need 130 municipalities, but probably does need more than 1.

There's a lot of purple/red territory outside city limits. People would have a shit fit if they tried to form a unified city-county government. Personally I'd move just because I don't want to be under the city goverment, regardless of who's in charge.
