Magee was a threat to others and should have been institutionalized. Another victim of unintended consequences.

How fitting… “We are central PA” for an FGS stab story.
However, Altoona is considered western PA, not central.
Steelers country.
Worse, due to NFL territorial TV rights,
my area of “central PA” isn’t Steelers country, and it isn’t Eagles country, as far as NFL TV on Sunday goes.
Even though it’s really mostly Eagles country around here, the NFL stuck the
Harrisburg/York/Chambersburg TV viewing area with the Baltimore Ravens.
A few years ago I had NFL Sunday ticket and if you liked the NFL you could watch them all. Then the politics started and they started glorifying homicidal maniacs they were shot by the police while committing crimes like murder and armed robbery.
They couldn’t pay to watch an NFL game these days, I refuse to be a part of the open support of criminal violence.
We call it the National Felons League for a reason. Just the other day one of their players drove his Corvette C-8 into the rear of another car at 156 mph. He was intoxicated and the rear end collision killed the 23 year old female in the car he hit. He is charged with felony DUI vehicular manslaughter.
rgr769,
Worse, some news outlets chose to run fire video
of the roasting dog & owner.
Ugh, who puts this on TV, knowing a dead woman and her dog are inside?
My grandfather said because they are south of Interstate 80 and east of Snow Shoe they should have to buy a non resident hunting license.
Maybe they are conflating Center County/State College as being central?
Johnstown/Altoona has a very distinct dialect that is much closer to western PA than anywhere else in the state. Having lived in the Harrisburg area for a few years my notion of what constitutes central PA pretty much ends around I-81 in the Hagerstown area.
Right after they had completed John Murtha “International” Airport I was passing thru in a small plane and the controllers all but begged me to land there… so I did. It’s a beautiful facility, all they need is some reason to exist 🙂
Hell, with Bud Schuster’s interstate highway and this fine airport, excellent nearby skiing and Raystown Lake, someone ought to be developing some tourist interest.
Was it Serro Scotty or Shasta trailer that were made in Somerset?
A motorcyclist delight, plenty of twist and mountainous roads to spend a couple of days just taking in the scenery.
Tallywhagger,
Yep.
Central PA really ends at the PA Turnpike tunnels west of Carlisle.
Also, among the best motorcycling in PA
is the original Lincoln Highway US30.
Start at Columbia (PA462) by crossing the Susquehanna bridge
(alongside the Civil War bridge ruins),
keep to PA462 west through York, back to US30,
and on through Gettysburg battlefield.
Then, Chambersburg (fuel stop),
and into the mountains.
Breezewood (Oasis) and Flight 92 Memorial ahead,
after many mountains and twists.
BZ to the lad for getting stabby with the dirtbag assaulting his Mama. We’d all have less trouble if that Brandon just quit breathing.
That, not so “Sweet Lorraine” (ht 2 Uriah Heep) really screwed up by not making sure that “Little Johnny” took his magic potion. How screwed up would Little Johnny have made if the responding officers had of been unarmed “Social Workers”? Wrongful death suit in 5.4.3.2..
Real nice linky on that person portable, shoulder fired Artillery piece. Gotta love it when the pig sticker is as long as the barrel. “…the name of John Moses Browning uttered-often with a tone of reverence.” TESTIFY!!! Howitzer Be His Name!!! and now, let us all turn into The Book…you know The Chapter…and The Verse.
And now, a little musical interlude, a Blast from the Past and a Salute to “Highwaying with Hondo”
“I said when you come out here, I said send some policemen with experience in that area, so they won’t kill my child.”
She thinks she can special order?
What’s next? “I need a paramedic. Make sure she went to UNC and not Duke.” … “Send out a policeman, one who truly appreciates Star Trek and not just one who can imitate Dr. Spock.”
He’s dead, Jim.
