AN EARLY VERSION OF SWATTING: Police raided the wrong house in Coatesville misdirected by a friend of the person they looked for.

"SWAT teams, in full military protective gear and armed with assault rifles, are being deployed against innocent, unsuspecting citizens all over the United States. Ten days ago, it was Kyle Giersdorf, alias Bugha, a 16-year-old Twitch streamer and reigning Fortnite champion, in Upper Pottsgrove Township, Pennsylvania. Giersdorf was unhurt—in part because an officer recognized him from around town and diffused the situation. Last Wednesday, it was Ijeoma Oluo, author of So You Want to Talk About Race, in King County, Washington. Her son was home alone, sleeping. Last weekend, it was a resident of Lancaster, Ohio, who had not shot his girlfriend or taken children hostage. This Monday, it was somebody in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, after a 911 caller wrongly reported a shooting and possible homicide at their address."

More on the Keystone Cops Swat Raid in Carver Court

Updated information on:

Swat Task Force apparently bursts into the wrong Caln Township home

 The word on the street is that the you can add members of the Philadelphia Police Force to the “multi-jurisdictional task force” that Caln Police Chief Byerly said “is made up of US Marshals, it’s made up of Pennsylvania State Police, It’s made up of members of Chester County District Attorney’s office and It’s made up of members from the Coatesville Police Department.” There were no Caln Police present.

The word on the street is that they allegedly had a "Body Warrant" for a suspect but no “Search Warrant” for a home belonging to a black woman in her 70s. 

The woman and her sons have no criminal records. 

Only a "Search Warrant" allows them to enter the house. The "Body Warrant" does not allow them to enter.

The alleged “credible information” that the “multi-jurisdictional task force” had, turned out to be alleged unreliable and not vetted intelligence that allegedly came from a relative of the person they were pursuing.

To recap, allegedly:

 A tactical police squad arrived at the front door calling out “Medics” and burst into the home of an elderly black woman with a heart condition who walks with a cane and held several guns to her head causing her to fall backward.

The police were acting on unverified information from a relative of the suspect. They did not have a "Search Warrant" and entered illegally expecting to find a person they had a “body warrant” for.  It was the wrong house and the suspect had nothing at all to do with the house or anyone that ever lived at that address.

I believe this was a botched up and amateurish police action. 

It’s a setback to the good police/community relations we have worked so very hard to achieve in Coatesville

The “multi-jurisdictional task force” allegedly called an ambulance for the woman.

I got his plate # Pennsylvania ZFD-9734. The Nazi? guy in Black Chevy pickup at Rt. 30 & Rt.100 Exton PA day after El Paso

I got his plate. 

Pennsylvania ZFD-9734. 

My iPhone fired off 10 photos of the Nazi? guy in Black Chevy pickup with Nazi flags (flags appropriated by Nazis) & Hillary Clinton dummy at Rt 30 & Rt 100 the day after the El Paso shooting at Walmart. I didn't notice until today that one photo has his plates, Pennsylvania ZFD-9734

White supremacist, militia, Nazi or mass murderer wannabe? Can't be sure. For sure he loves Trump. A Black Chevy pickup with neo-Nazi flags & Hillary dummy exits Rt. 30 to Rt. 100 at Exton PA. A Walmart is just up the road.

"The "Thin Blue Line" stands for law enforcement's separation of order from chaos, or, as Oxford Dictionaries describes, it's a reference to police, "in the context of maintaining order during unrest." 

Yet, during the Charlottesville protests last weekend — a screaming example of mayhem— the proud symbol of police appeared amid a sea of white supremacists. 

A black-and-white American flag with a thin blue line across its center appeared among the Confederate flags toted by the white supremacists and neo-Nazis during the violent protests. 

At least one maker of the flag condemned its use in Charlottesville. 

"We reject, in the strongest possible terms, any association of our flag with racism, hatred, and bigotry," said Thin Blue Line USA in a statement. "To use it in such a way tarnishes what it and our nation believe in. The thin blue line flag stands for the sacrifice law enforcement officers of this nation make each day. We ask our nation to hold faith with those that defend the thin blue line."

You could argue about the flags but I think the Hillary Clinton dummy "holding" the flags clinches it:

Gadsden, US flag & a black-and-white American flag blue line across the center flew from the back of the pickup. A Hillary Clinton dummy seemed to be holding the flags.

I had my first experience outside of the KKK old men left over from the KKK heyday of the 1930s I knew in Coatesville when we moved to Macungie, PA. There were KKK/Nazi rallies at an out of the way farm in Lower Macungie Township.

I never actually came in contact with the Nazis but I heard about them. The farm was out of the way because a sinkhole made a huge hole in the road that was the usual way to drive to the farm. I can’t remember the name of the Nazi leader, but he was arrested later in Philadelphia. 

Actual Nazis near my home made me aware of their existence. It was my first educational experience of the far extreme right in America. 

That was 36 years ago. Now Nazis or something like them mass murdering people is a regular everyday part of living in America.

So only hours after mass murder “events” at a Walmart in El Paso Texas I spot this maybe mass murderer wannabe near the Walmart in Exton PA:

Gadsden, US flag & a black-and-white American flag blue line across the center flew from the back of the pickup. A Hillary Clinton dummy seemed to be holding the flags.

'Thin Blue Line': What does an American flag with a blue line mean?

I thought “The Great Replacement” was written by a dead fascist. Renaud Damus is very much alive and still spewing fascist aesthetic hate.

From August 3rd. New York Times:

"The unsigned manifesto, titled “The Inconvenient Truth,” draws direct inspiration from the mass murder of Muslims at two mosques in New Zealand in March that left 51 people dead. In that attack, the alleged killer published a manifesto online promoting a white supremacist theory called “the great replacement.” The theory has been promoted by a French writer named Renaud Camus, and argues that elites in Europe have been working to replace white Europeans with immigrants from the Middle East and North Africa."

Minutes Before El Paso Killing, Hate-Filled Manifesto Appears Online

By Tim Arango, Nicholas Bogel-Burroughs and Katie Benner

"His trademark was fearlessness, as evinced in his 1979 autobiographical novel, Tricks, which recounts in unsparing detail a string of nonchalant homosexual encounters the narrator has in nightclub bathrooms and grimy apartments on both sides of the Atlantic. “I put saliva in my ass, kneeled on both sides of him, and brought his penis, which was not of a very considerable size, inside me without much difficulty,” we read of one such encounter. “He came the moment one of my fingers was pressed inside the crack of his ass.” That was Camus then.

These days, the author of Tricks is better known as the principal architect of le grand remplacement (the great replacement), the conspiracy theory that white, Christian Europe is being invaded and destroyed by hordes of black and brown immigrants from North and sub-Saharan Africa. Since 2012, when it appeared as the title of a book Camus self-published, the term “great replacement” has become a rallying cry of white supremacists around the world—the demonstrators who stormed through Charlottesville, Virginia, in August 2017; the man who killed 11 worshippers at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh in October 2018; and especially Brenton Tarrant, the suspect in the New Zealand mosque attacks in March. Tarrant posted his own “The Great Replacement”—a 74-page online manifesto—before murdering 51 people..."

"One can think of Camus as a more successful version of Steve Bannon, whose designs in Europe have amounted to little more than a handful of appearances on television at the wrong times of day and an ostensible network of right-wing “schools” that are more accurately described as identitarian book clubs than as training grounds for the so-called populist elite Bannon vowed to create. Though Camus has announced no such grand ambitions, his impact has been much more profound. A forthcoming 2019 study conducted by the Institute of Strategic Dialogue, based on social-media analytics, depicts Camus as the top influencer on the subject of remigration, or the forced return of non-Europeans to their countries of origin. He ranked higher than Donald Trump."

How Gay Icon Renaud Camus Became the Ideologue of White Supremacy

The bizarre odyssey of the “great replacement” theorist shows that kitsch can kill.

By James McAuley

   

In a sad way children in the City of Coatesville, PA are better prepared for mass shootings than most children.

In the late 40s to early 60s us kids walked anywhere in Coatesville, PA  and felt safe. We couldn’t get away with anything. Our parents would get a report.

People here still can find out what their children are doing when away from home. Coatesville people are tight knit. But ii’s different, there’s guns everywhere. Parents are occupied with keeping their children alive.

Us kids back in the late 40s to early 60s knew nothing about how to avoid getting shot.

Now in 2019 children here in Coatesville need to be watchful for flying bullets to survive. In a sad way they’re better prepared for mass shootings than most kids.

I was lucky. If I began my turn 1/15th of a second earlier I would have been in a hospital or worse. The accident was my fault but construction equipment blocked the usual line of sight. The construction equipment was my fault too. It’s part of my legacy.

We moved back to hometown Coatesville partly by accident, partly because it made economic sense but mostly because most all of our family members still lived nearby. 

I was enthused by the flurry of economic activity proposing a revival of the City of Coatesville. A revival that promised to return Coatesville to the economic and social place it had in Western Chester County in the 1950s & 1960s. The “back in the day” Coatesville we grew up in.

My interest in municipal government came in a meandering way. Dave Baker, Tom Lennon and I had just began fishing at a fly fishing only section of Bushkill Creek (its was later closed to fishing by the property owner). I noticed my long johns were on backwards. That was not a problem since I wouldn’t need a stream side bathroom, we were close to highways.

After just 5 minutes of fishing an 8 inch diameter pipe began spewing brown sludgy water into the nearly crystal clear stream and we folded up our fly rods. That moment began my interest in municipal government. 

In Pennsylvania stormwater regulations are enforced at the local level by local municipal government regulations. 

In Pennsylvania nearly all land use is under the jurisdiction of municipal government. The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and EPA stormwater regulations are enforced by our 2,500 + local government entities. 

If I wanted to stop nonpoint water contamination like that 8 inch diameter pipe spewing brown sludgy material into an otherwise pristine creek I needed to get into municipal government. 

I learned about zoning as a planning commissioner in Lower Frederick Township Montgomery County, PA. 

But I also learned about the drug business, marijuana growing and how most of the elected officials in Northwestern MontCo got high on hemp after work. 

Other planning commission members cautioned me in the dangers of  looking into the local KKK/Skinhead cross lightings along the Perkiomen Creek. 

That the KKK/Skinheads were powerful enough to be a threat to local municipal officials only got my interest. I began investigating and never stopped. 

All of that led to the construction equipment that blocked my line of sight so I couldn’t see a car coming. That construction might never of happened if we didn’t move back to Coatesville where I had a chance to become a planning commissioner and help write the zoning overlays used to permit construction of the 6 story apartment/condo/retail building the construction equipment was there for. 

I was not only a planning commissioner. I combined my knowledge of the drug business, KKK, Skinheads, JBS society, the Philly Mafia, stormwater regulations and knowing 100s of Black & White people in and around the City of Coatesville to stay one step ahead of people who wanted to stop developments like the one blocking my line of sight. 

I was fortunate to work with Tom Hogan since back when he was a Federal prosecutor. I was able to inform Governor Rendell about the shenanigans at Coatesville City Hall so that later when the fires began Ed Rendell knew what was happening here and ordered Harry Walker to call in the PA fire commissioner & ATF to investigate. 

Even if I had begun my turn 1/15 of a second earlier and wound up in a body bag, I would be a lucky man. I have a legacy that will live on when I am gone. 

Electronic Billboards City of Coatesville Catalyst Experiential

UPDATE: IT'S CATALYST EXPERIENTIAL NOT CATALYST EXPERIMENTAL. 

Also, you might say Coatesville residents can go to city council meetings & learn what's happening. Except that most people are afraid to go to Coatesville City Council meetings. There's a history of intimidating residents not going along with John Birch Society efforts. And a historical presence of drug gang members in the meeting room.

SEE:

Several years ago in the Lobby of the City of Coatesville City Hall I was surrounded by about 10 people screaming "Communist" at me. I had dared to say the City Council meetings were a place where individuals could get together as a community. I had no idea I was part of a Communist plot called Agenda 21. 

I think the story is the Coatesville City Council operates in an opaque bubble. Opaque to the public, because there is no press or media present. Now and then something spectacular happens and that opaque bubble is pierced.

“Catalyst Experiential plans to build three electronic bill boards measuring 15 by 40 feet, 10 by 30 feet and 13 by 30 feet, and had planned to include steel tridents fabricated in Coatesville that supported the World Trade Center. An outdoor amphitheater and veteran’s memorial are also envisioned. 

Mike Trio, city manager, and city council members, said that the tridents were never destined to be used for the sign project...” 

“Scott Huston, president of the museum board of directors, said he was “surprised” when the forks were included as part of the commercial plan. 

“It’s a major attraction…at Coatesville’s front door whether the amphitheater goes here or not. 

“When people enter Coatesville, it’s one of the first things they see.” 

Jim Ziegler, executive director of the museum, said the local steel work is something everyone is proud of. 

“A 40-foot billboard will obscure the view of the historic district—a gem in Coatesville,” he said. “We just want to be part of the community and we want the community to be a part of us.”

Senator Andy Dinniman 

Some clarification on this story:

1. The ultimate decision on the Coatesville digital billboard/amphitheater project is up to city council. I and state Rep. Dan Williams called this week’s meeting to inform and hear from the public because it seemed like there were a lot of unanswered questions and not many people (besides those on council) knew exactly what was planned for this significant piece of public land. 

2. While council members say the project is a “done deal,” there are additional approvals needed, including those regarding design elements and PennDOT permitting. 

3. Not mentioned in this article were comments from David DePetris of DEPG, the developer working on the Coatesville Gateway Project on the corner directly adjacent from the proposed digital billboards. He asked council to take another look at the digital billboards and expressed reservations about them as the current development plan calls for a hotel and two restaurants with outdoor dining immediately across the street. 

The meeting was an opportunity for people to learn more about the project and express their views. In addition, city officials backed away from initial plans to try to include the World Trade Center steel “trees” as part of the digital billboard/amphitheater project. They also committed seeking public input on the design aspects. While I understand council’s desire to realize revenue from the project ($44,000/ year according to a lease agreement), I do hope they will seek public input, involvement, and engagement going forward. 

Finally, I have concerns about three large digital billboards essentially serving as the welcome mat to the City of Coatesville, as well as their potential to obscure everything planned for the Lukens Historic District (including the National Iron and Steel Heritage Museum). I have also seen and experienced how these digital billboard companies operate some municipalities and the impacts they’ve had on residents and local communities. 

Digital billboards do have their place in settings like Times Square or Las Vegas. In our area, they tend to be targeting motorists and drivers on heavily traveled thoroughfares and intersections. I have doubts that those proposed for Coatesville will target or draw visitors and foot traffic. 

It seems to me that these digital billboards are something you pass on the way to a destination. I think Coatesville and its revitalization should be THE destination.
