Wayne and Pike counties (in PA) were two of the three fastest growing counties in PA at one point this past decade. Even those counties have become bedroom communities to NYC and its inner suburbs.

Those are not rural backwater towns as a poorly informed naysayer would have us believe. The article has no redeeming or useful value. Is only gossip. But is hyperbolic nonsense that any wackoman would think important.

It's another murder no different than what happened in Harlem, Brooklyn, or Kensington. Had he read the article rather than, as usual, jump to conclusions; Highland Lake is an NYC suburb.

A meaningful discussion to, for example, address the lives of children would have, well, he ignored similar murders occurring inside Philly and NYC. And did nothing to discuss the larger issue – the lives of 20% of the children living in poverty. And the attacks on social programs designed to avert these problems. Facts not relevant to his agenda of sensational while ignoring substantive. Noting his trend was so accurate as to inspire him to waste bandwidth with more insults. Expected from one hyped by the sensational.
