Comment history for Cassie

I am watching with great interest to see if these criminal charges are valid or simply political. That surely is a good way to wreak vengeance on your political enemies--get criminal charges against them, then make it so that they cannot afford to put up a valid defense. To me, there is a strong odor to all of these charges. And, even if defendants are acquitted, you can depend on Bertram to denote them always as "criminally indicted." Makes me kind of sick.

Unionforever, what in the world can you possibly be thinking? I cannot believe than anyone would absolutely look for something negative to say in a time like this. I join others in telling you to keep your stupid opinion to yourself. What kind of responsibility would Jamail Johnson have for the presence of an under age girl at that party? From all accounts, he was a splendid young man and went out of his way to be a role model for youngsters. I am white and am both grieving for him and praying for his loved ones. You might take note that he was trying to keep others safe when he was gunned down by really worthless thugs. RIP, Jamail

Such a horrible event--so sorry for all of those grieving and suffering. I have so many questions--what were these thugs even doing at a fraternity party? Frightening to realize that a 17 year old college student could be partying at that hour. And what in the world made these men think that they could do such a thing and suffer no consequences? I know it is an old fashioned idea, but there is true evil existing in Youngstown.
There is no point blaming the justice system--our prisons are so overcrowded that prosecutors and judges have to take that into consideration--sad but true. And we taxpayers do not want to pay any more money to expand the prison system--and prisoners can sue if conditions are too bad.

I will be interested to see how this trial plays out. I cannot understand why political figures who oppose an action by other political officials can be accused criminally of conspiracy. I certainly hope the prosecutors have more evidence than it appears that they have right now. Also, I support Judge Wolff's action--it's about time someone has the guts to call attention to the Vindicator's mean-spirited bias. The only sad part is that no matter what the outcome of the trial is, the Vindicator and Bertram DeSouza will never let it rest--the defendants will forever be referred to as "indicted" and if, perchance, they are not convicted, the implication will always be that there must have been some hanky panky--NEVER admitting that they may be innocent of these very strange charges. I heard a rumor that George Tablack issued an E-mail telling the employees of DHS that they could be criminally charged if they voiced any opposition to the OakHill move. Are these charges a great threat to the First Amendment rights of the defendants? Just asking.

Kind of makes me wonder what was going on at the facility in Canton that this kid was willing to risk so much to avoid going back there. Hope the matter is investigated completely--if he is just a bad egg, so be it, but still.......

Any news of the Lariccias and their wonderful generosity lifts my spirits in the face of the terrible amount of bad news these days. I thank them for the happiness they bring to me and to others with their amazing goodness. May God shower them with blessings.

The terrible toll of death among young males in Youngstown is devastating. My heart and prayers go out to April Jackson and all of the mothers and families that have lost loved ones to murder. How can anyone blame lifestyles in these tragedies? No one can have any idea of the situation and our only reactions should be sympathy and caring for the families and outrage at these continuing deaths.

The whole issue of the relocation of DHS to the Garland Avenue facility will probably never be known by the taxpayers of Mahoning County. The incredible "sweetheart" contract with the Cafaros (who can blame them, they are businessmen?), the absolute failure of the county to maintain the facility, which was completely remodeled and updated by Cafaros before the move, the later move of CSEA, which was jammed into the then totally trashed facility and the subsequent almost million dollars in damages the county had to pay for its malfeasance in not maintaining the building according to their contract--just the total mess which is so typical of Mahoning County politicians and which the Vindicator sugar coated until the latest fiasco--the filing of charges against those who opposed the OakHill purchase. What next in the Mahoning County Zoo?

It will be interesting to see how this whole expensive business plays out. I am finding it difficult to believe that public servants who in good faith opposed the purchase of Oakhill are guilty of criminal conspiracy--it seems more like a political vendetta to me. I understand that Tablack tries to make any opposition to him a criminal offense. I do not understand why the criminal offense is fashioned as opposition to moving JFS to Oakhill. McNally and Sciortino made no secret of their opposition to the purchase of Oakhill and had good reasons for that opposition. Will public servants be intimidated into not opposing an action that they deem not to be in the county's best interest?
