Many of us who read this site have had mixed emotions about its content. Many of us appreciate the corruption that is exposed and the real stories that are not being covered by the Journal News and New Rochelle Patch. What we do not appreciate is the sensationalism that this site often promotes. Bob Cox and his followers have been known to unnecessarily vilify innocent people on this site and most recently have done so by publishing photos of the dead or dying body of Paul Fillippelli, and ignoring the pleas of friends and family members to remove these photos from the site. This is not the first time that Bob Cox has vilified innocent people in an attempt to gain journalistic validation, but it absolutely must be the last. Please do whatever you can to get rid of this site. Contact the advertisers and tell them you will not use their services as long as they advertise on this site, and mean what you say. Do not use the services of any business that advertises on this site. Do not visit this site. Bob Cox has proven he is an enemy of the citizens of New Rochelle and is only here to serve his own agenda. Let the images of Paul Fillippelli remind you that this is the truth, and get this man out of New Rochelle for good.
Thank you
Accident pictures
This is what the news is about.there is nothing wrong with posting pictures,its done all of the time everywhere. you can say morally you wouldnt post them but thats all a matter of choice and we all think differently and have different moral opinions. Now if the family respectfully requests that they take them down and Mr.Cox refuses then he is wrong. But once again its a matter of opinion, and that is mine for what its worth.
boycott
charles, i would ask you to rethink the notion of boycott and resort to making a personal choice regarding how you feel about the matter at hand. I share your viewpoint on the issue you raise and I actually made a personal choice, although somewhat badly, in terms of characterizations of a mayor who I like and respect and others.
But, look at where a boycott takes you. In itself, it goes beyond censorship, it is actually almost fascistic. I know without knowing you that this is not your intent. I did not know the young man who tragically die in the accident and would likely feel similar outrage, but again, it is a personal choice and people can and should decide for themselves. In fact, leaving out the draconian outcome of boycott does not weaken your case and many people share your view.
Bob Cox has a style he follows, but he is open to suggestion and change. If he isn’t back to individual choice. His directness may truly offend,, but at least it is straight forward as opposed to much of the political blattering we hear nowadays and a lot of it is perpetrating by elected officials. Sometimes you need to hear what is happening from a voice which may not be appealing, may even be politically biased. But to my knowledge, he bars no one from the site unless there are legal issues or what he labels “troll” issues, but even here, the latter at least gets another chance.
I have lost friends and people in office who are upset that I am back on TOTS. But, they are wrong and narrowminded; they read it, but lack the courage to stand for their positions, or constituents.
You do not lack the courage. I admire you for being a friend to a young man (my assumption) wo died prematurely and tragically. If there are other family and friends here, state your views and pain. As for me, I will pray for him and offer my heartfelt sympathy to his family and friends.

Boycott
Well Mr.Charles Szozesny’s what sensationalism are you talking about? You say people appreciate the corruption that is exposed and the REAL stories.
Tell me Charles if you did not know who the person was in the scene you would have the same opinion ? Bottom line and don’t lie you cannot tell who the person is? You cannot tell if the person is dead or alive? You cannot tell if the person is talking or not? You come on this site and say to everyone don’t come back well CHARLES i for one will keep coming back to this site because the truth hurts and i want to know the truth.Everyday for the last THREE weeks i watched people jump to there deaths from the WORLD TRADE CENTER i watched yesterday a man being pulled from underneath a burning car after a motorcycle accident. Yet you say Mr. Cox is trying to” gain journalistic validation”why would he do that? Charles a few weeks ago Mr.Cox ran a story about a man getting hit by a car on North Avenue by Rochelle place the pictures were all up on the site. Where was the outcry then? He was a local man where were you and your friends then on this site? It hurts to lose a friend and a family member but don’t tear someone apart for reporting the news.i’m sure Mr.Cox and his crew had no idea who this person was you say you want the pictures down so would i but the fact remains that every other news,blog’tv and whatever else would have shown a lot worse and does show a lot worse.
The thing that really baffles me is why would you come and make a statement like you did expect people to read it and then BOYCOTT?
Mr.Cox stated he never received a request from friends or family to remove the pictures he did say he got threats that if he did not remove them he and others would have trouble or something along those lines.
I agree. Anyone who has
I agree. Anyone who has watched shows like “The Worlds Most Dangerous Police Pursuits” knows that journalists show much worse pictures of the innocent. They show as people are killed. Moreover, no one knew who these people in the photos were until you mentioned it. I DO greive for your loss and feel bad for what your family is going through. But Bob Cox is not villifying the innocent with these pictures.
