He would no longer be able to poison the planet with his stupid?

I agree: Find somebody just about seven feet tall, right around three hundred pounds, give that big sumbitch a cinder block, and point him in the direction of Mr. Fitzpatrick.

The town is not rural. It is a commuter town for NYC workers. The girl was 28 - a full adult. This is only a typical murder. Why is it even being discussed other than it appeals to people most attached to their emotions. No hard, constructive, informative, or useful facts have been provided.

Meanwhile, fundamental economic issues affecting everyone in the Cellar go completely undiscussed. But that would not tingle hype.

Another story of two ‘low lifes’. People who refuse to take responsibility for their lives. Something more common from American citizens and rarely seen in immigrants? At least that question has an abiding value. That news report is not worthy of The Cellar.

You must be thinking of a different Lake Ariel. I've been there. It's next to Honesdale and Hawley, which are both small towns, and it's smaller than each. It's a tiny village that's sprawled out. It's pretty rural. It's a good 2.5 hours from NYC, so that would be 5 hours of commuting time. Nobody there commutes daily to NYC.

But you are right. This is an emotional story of no real importance to any dwellar's lives.

This is an emotional story with no more importance to any dwellar's lives than many of the other stories we discuss.

They lived in Highland Lake NJ - long a suburb of NYC. He buried the body west in PA. Now even that region has become a suburb of NYC (as a NY Times article some years ago discussed - people do commute that far). 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.
