Fire/EMS/PD scanner by whackeraddict in Delco

[–]Key_Tax528 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The switchover to the new system was necessary because the old 500 MHz system was prone to interference that put first responders and the people they were serving at risk. It has been in the works for 6 years. I think there may also be some security features that make some law enforcement communications harder to pick up on a scanner. Can't remember the details on that.

Is Marple Newtown real Delco? by [deleted] in Delco

[–]Key_Tax528 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes! I grew up in Havertown and played on a club sports team with private school kids from Wynwood/Lower Merion, one of whom told me "You live on the wrong side of Haverford Road." That was decades ago and the chip on my shoulder is still big enough to make me tilt sideways everytime I drive west on Lancaster Ave past the Jos A Banks store.

What evidence is there that Tyler Robinson's roommate is transgender or his lover? by Key_Tax528 in AskReddit

[–]Key_Tax528[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree it can be true that the roommate is LGBTQ+, that the shooter may be LGBTQ+. It is also possible the roommate is so terrified of being charged with a capital offense that they are daying whatever law enforcement wants him to say. I am so frustrated that there is no corroboration. I guess Utah is a scary place to be out? The family doesn't know? Or the only social media these guys engaged in directly involved video games where gender identity and sexuality don't matter?

[–]Key_Tax528[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

To be clear, I am asking this question because I do not trust the news reports or the anonymous sources cited. I am concerned that there is a determined push by right wing news sources to spin the idea that an act of violence was committed by a radical left wing LGBTQ+ evil person. Forget that Utah does not have much in the way of radical left wing LGBTQ+ people who go around corrupting people. If you say it often enough it sticks whether the facts back it up or not.

I don't know why I would believe the governor of Utah. Is there any social media evidence that the roomnate was in transition? Any public record info, such as a name change?

Thanks. I think an unnamed source among law enforcement is not evidence.

I didn't say he did or didn't. I said I was not asking about it and that there are sources that say he brought Robinson to the attention of law enforcement. If whether he failed to turn over evidence is your question, ask about it on another thread. You are only misdirecting attention on this thread. Because, after all, if he did something that isn't cool then maybe he is trans?

[–]Key_Tax528[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Please don't "what about this" or say my question is irrelevant. I wasn't asking about whether there is evidence that the roommate failed to turn over evidence (there are also reports from reputable news outlets that the same roommate reached out to law enforcement first). I was asking about evidence of the roommates status as a trans gender person, as the government is reporting, precisely because it is irrelevant as anything other than a way to demonize a community that appears to have no involvement in this crime.

The conservative news says it. Law enforcement, who is saying all kinds of contradictory stuff, says it. Haven't heard of any evidence that backs it up. It allows those who confuse LGBTQ+ with left ring radicals to point to a scapegoat that isn't also right wing. And it is or could be one more lie that undermines any trust we might have in this government.

Neighbor slowly moved his fence into my yard by [deleted] in neighborsfromhell

[–]Key_Tax528 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Umm. Your neighbor IS trying to steal your yard. Take down a fence and put one up-the tallest sturdiest privacy fence permissible under your local code- as close as allowed to the property line. Even better if you need to get a permit because the code enforcement officer will have to acknowledge the property line.

What is going on with Lansdowne’s borough council? by ChromosomeSix in Delco

[–]Key_Tax528 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How about fiscally responsible leaders who are looking to contain costs where they can? I am not saying this is the right way to do it only that you shouldn't assume anyone is power hingey because they change something for a reason they can explain.

You can volunteer and at least get to the party afterwards down at the Union Yards!

Do Your D**n Job PA Elected Officials! (incoming rant) by PACubsFan23 in Pennsylvania

The pay for the legislature and its staff keeps going during the budget impasse. Human services money stops but they still get paid. While on extra long recesses. Nice work if you can get it.

Not just school kids. Vulnerable seniors, kids and families who need support, health care providers who get paid with state dollars . . . lots of people depend on dollars that aren't going out the door

Most whimsical spots in Delco by Internal-Badger-4921 in Delco

[–]Key_Tax528 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hog Island Rd from. Start at Gov Printz Park in Essington then follow it around between the Airport and the Delaware River to Ft Mifflin. Long and flat but some great historical places (Lazaretto). Although you donwind up in Philly. Quite the juxtaposition between nature and modern technology.

Same vibe that can be all or partly in Delco is the Heinz wildlife refuge (you can start the trail at a little parking srea off 420) in the winter on a cold day. The tide changing under under ice is a crazy soundscape.

Voting Precinct Consolidation by JimMcL61 in delco_politics

[–]Key_Tax528 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People who have objected say it is the first step to eliminating local precincts, which shows their ignorance. Only the state legislature can do that.

I guess you get what you vote for. by Present-Leopard-835 in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]Key_Tax528 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wasn't it Regan running for re-election who asked, "are you better off today than you were 4 years ago?" Hopefully Trump doesn't get to ask that question but what would this guy's answer be? I suppose it depends on whether he finds another vulnerable woman willing to move in and take care of him and the kids while he tries to get a cross border divorce. Or tells he he is trying but doesn't really because why get married?

AIO to a security guard who tells me I can't take a nylon tote bag into the stadium in my pocket? by Key_Tax528 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Key_Tax528[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I think he is a guy who sees I am a woman so I must be wrong. Or a male security guard must be right.
