As most of you know I am leaving the blog. I posted what was to be my last post http://www.newrochelletalk.com/node/2159 and had every intention of keeping my word. I post this because a scumbag has taken low life to the absolute bottom of the barrel. I had a debate/dispute in which my “adversary” made statements that if followed through on could jeopardize my family, home & health. Those being my top priorities in life made it evident that I should no longer participate in New Rochelle issues. While I didn’t take them as a credible threat the fact that this mindset could even exist shocked me. That said, I never involved my family in issues nor did I inform my family that I would no longer fight the good fight.
Today, July 2, 2010, at approximately 11 AM my wife received an anonymous call at her place of employment telling her to read Talk of the Sound and then that anonymous scumbag hung up. My wife called me after reading the site and questioned what was going on.
To the coward scumbag who doesn’t have the balls to identify themselves be it male or female, pray for two things.
1) that I never find out who you are
2) that you atone before meeting your maker
Alot of tough talk
While I agree with your statement you still need to realize that the world is made up of snitches, rats, and squeelers.
One of these names fits the bill of your recent post. They simply do not know the value, or potential danger in some cases, and choose to try and have others suffer for while they hide safely in the shadows. Good luck trying to find out who it was that made the call to your family member. I feel the word scumbag is being to kind.
Cowardly bully
It seems to me that if this pathetic, sociopathic coward’s only defense is his/her anonymity, then perhaps we should take up the same weapon, ourselves. Is there really a need to use real names when expressing our beliefs? If doing so stirs the frustrated, impotent dolts among us to behave like bratty juveniles, level the playing field and spar with the same anonymity that cloaks the antisocial sissy who’s too afraid to reveal himself/herself.
I’d do anything to discover the identity of this moronic pest, myself…. I’d like nothing more than to seize this person by the neck with one hand, and shake him until his brains slipped out of his ringpiece….
BB Gun and car window
Once I wrote a letter to the editor of the Journal News and that night someone used a BB Gun and blew a few BBs into the window of my car. I got up to go to church that morning in the pouring rain and the glass was all over the driveway and the rain was getting into the car. I was taken aback.
I did have glass coverage in my car insurance, and had the window fixed pretty quick, but I still have BB gun dents in my door. I look at them every day.
I don’t know what that all means, but I guess I am trying to say don’t let the dogs get you down. They don’t deserve it.
scumbag
I don’t care who or what called his home; democrat, republican, independent, cockroach or rodent. This is the act of someone who is not exactly unheard of in this day and age. In fact, something similar happened to me yesterday and I filed a police report and an officer came to my door to take the report.
But, Anthony’s situation is worse; his wife was involved. What the hell is going on when someone takes matters to this extreme.
It needs to end NOW. I wish I had the power to obligate every blogger and every caller to identify himself or herself by name and have that verified. I don’t. You don’t appeal to this kind of person either; it doesn’t work.
I will come out. Last night Bruce Negrin spent a little time talking about just how stupid and evil this sort of thing is. Anthony, if you find out, you let me know. Do me that favor.
For the rest of you reading this blog I hope you comment in showing your displeasure and support for Anthony. Do me a favor though, since you don’t know who did it, don’t even try to venture a guess or give an accusation. Let me tell you why if it is not obvious that it is not the right thing to do.
In the military, I was exposed to something called dissinformation. What this meant is someone said or did something like what happened to Anthony. It was not who you might have expected. It was someone with similar views; the indea was to stir up rage against the opposition. Who knows who did this, friend or foe. Think what we do know is that Anthony described the person properly, a Scumbag.
Hang in Anthony and my sorrow for your family and my personal support for you
warren gross
Disturbing
Thank you for sharing this information.
It would seem highly likely that this is in response to your success in beating back an unsuccessful attempt by the Mayor and his allies to sneak through a home rule bill in order to tear down the Armory.
People like this caller and the person you referenced in your post yesterday who made threats against you and your family are cockroaches who scatter when the lights come on.
The actions of people like this need to be brought into the light of day. We saw something similar in the complaint filed in federal court where municipal employees were said to have keyed a car of a lawyer they did not like. We saw this Monday with Councilman Barry Fertel indiscriminately hurling accusations of Anti-Semitism on WVOX and Thursday with the normally composed Councilwoman Marianne Sussman becoming so unhinged on-air as to make personal attacks against Bob Marrone, the show host and to condemn the entire WVOX station for airing views with which she disagrees.
Apparently this is what the beginning of the end of one-party rule in New
Rochelle looks like. Childish yet ominous.
Be vigilant, New Rochelle.
And with the end of one party rule
Can come the investigations into every ageny the city has ever had its hands in. NewROC, NRNRC,Capelli,BID and every other corporation (big or small) the city ever cut a check to. The attorney general, FBI and others will be brought in.
