There is an organization that can help animals in distress such as in this case. I own several businesses that deal with homes and properties like this residence, which is only a couple blocks from my home. Unfortunately, most of the time when we arrive to "clean out" a property, it is too late. We have found pets left behind by distressed families that have suffered and died because people did not know what to do with them. Perhaps the mental anguish caused by situations like these do not allow clear thought. We unfortunatly encounter situations like this 90% of the time. Dirty diapers and all types of filthy living conditions are not isolated to this situation. Like the civil servants that had to discard their clothes, we have had to remove and disgard our clothing many times after completing work in "homes" like this. I have taken to buy the cheapest shoes available so that I can throw them into the dumpster prior to leaving the property. The worst case was in Hubbard, where the family actually kept a pig in the basement. If you know of people like this or care to have an alternative to the pound, I would proudly recommend that you contact www.NoPawsLeftBehind.org a non profit rescue network operated nation wide by caring folks that will gladly attempt to rescue pets that are left behind. My companies support their work, proudly display their logo on our equipment, and have found them to be a first class operation. I own a dog, I am not in any way an animal activist or extremist, but after you have seen first hand the suffering that pets endure when a family goes under, organizations like No Paws Left Behind start to make sense. We will not bid to clean this property. But we will bid competitvely to demolish it.
Search, I have given you grief in the past for your views in regard to foreign products. I must now apologize. Your posts in regard to this article are clear, concise, and some of the most well thought out responses you have written. I promise to not give you a hard time anymore. If you would though, please lay off of the comments that may directly affect the job status of hard working folks.
Searth4aclue, Your prayers have been answered, OMG,OMG, you and your life partner can spoon into you civic and travel south for the big parade in Marysville. Finally, an article about a OMG, OMG, a honda product. It's OK, everybody understands that you are a honda salePERSON, and you feel obligated to get all emotional about your product. But, JEEZ, give it a break. Your posts are STILL ignored and your opinions are regarded as trite and biased, no matter what the subect. Pathetic, actually. As far as your comment about Buick drivers being senior citizens, I disagree wholeheartedly. I observe WAY more seniors and alternative type folks driving your employers brand than Buicks. What I have observed is a lot more upper scale people driving Enclaves around Y-Town than effeminate males driving broken down civics. OR, worse yet, how about all of the dorks driving 120hp civics with ground effects and neon with their bfriends in tow. I always get a kick out of the lawn mower engine dudes. Sorry, maybe that was you....
Search, Geez, can you give it a break already? Just admit that you are the weird dude on the Preston commercials. We GET IT! You LOVE honda. Even though they just recalled 440,000 cars for defective airbags that are KILLING people. Doesn't sound very innovative to me. Is this where the worlds collide? I used to enjoy reading the comments. So many folks like TheQuail, Stan, cambridge, and others actually put thought into their comments. It makes it so much more enjoyable for the reader. You, on the other hand, are a DB that kind of ruins the intent of the comment section by trying to come off as an intellectual. Haven't you noticed that most people ignore your comments, have no interest in engaging you, and basically ignore you? It is SO obvious that you are a honda salesman. Please stop ruining the comment section for casual readers. MAN, what a DB. Do yourself a favor, take you life partner for a drive in you civic and leave the comment pages alone for a while. Now THAT, would be innovative
OK, this is like Deja Vu. I saw this guy and his brother pick a fight with Roland Cummings at Alfe's on the west side about 22 yrs ago. They got their a** kicked then, and it appears like age and history did not change a thing. They were not allowed in any bar on Mahoning Ave. It looks like they've migrated to the south side and are still getting whooped. Let it go champ, it's still Y-Town, it's OK, It will happen. Hopefully the brother has stopped eating bar glasses when he gets loaded.
To be proud to drive a Honda, built in America by Americans is a noble cause. If you think that it was OK that when the plant was built, the Americans were not allowed to display American flags within the facility. The American flag also was lower than the Japenese flag while flown in front of the facility. Not until all of the employees walked out, was the American flag flown at an equal height to the Japenese flag. Employees were then PERMITTED to display American flags on their personal items (lunch boxes) not larger than 3" X 5". If you are OK with that, then buy a Honda. I am not a union member and I do agree that Americans have the right to purchase the "best products". If you also believe that, you would purchase a Buick that has consistently outperformed Toyota and Honda (even Lexus) for quality the last few years. But the real reason I am writing is that I find it extremely uncomfortable reading posts from individuals about how happy they are with their Accords and Civics. If I were certain that these are, in fact salepeople/employees of local Honda dealerships then it would be less creepy. But if the proud posters are indeed men, and are happy or proud to drive Civics, then I'm a little creeped out by that. I can honestly say that I have never personally known a member of the male gender that has purchased a Honda Auotmobile. Maybe it's just me, but every time I see a guy in a civic, and it's not too often, I have to assume that his girlfriend lent him the car, or he is suffering from extremely low self esteem. Think about it, except for the weird little dude on the Preston commercials, what kind of men drive Civics. Unless, of course, he is the posters.
Having had the distinct privilege of watching this event from the inside for most of my adult life, I can say with every confidence that one man made this event. To have the inate ability to invent / promote a show like this, you have to have an enormous amount of dedication. Hard work is the reason this event became a landmark of the Mahoning valley. But most of all, it takes an enormous amount of natural ability and talent. There are very few people that you will ever meet that are as talented as the founder of this event. Born form an idea, with the help of family, loyal friends, (and my dad), one man had the inate ability to make the Mahoning Valley Rib Burnoff what it was. I did not attend this year, nor do I have any idea who the promoter was, but I will contest the comment on the "highest attendance figure" however. Twenty years ago traffic stopped on 224, the fire department was ordering people off of the roof of Dotson's Furniture and their were people as far as you could see. They (my dad and the founder) estimate 50K in attendance to see MSB. That was, and is, a true testiment to the man that invented the MVRB. You cannot replace talent. God's speed DB.
just4me, Really? Really? REALLY? Do you think that ANYBODY in their right mind would agree with ANYTHING you have posted? Good Lord. To suggest or imply that Mooney is a "private" school" is typical Youngstown mentality. Try paying 10k / yr for 1st grade. That is a private school. Mooney is an alternative option for working parents to attempt to buy themselves into a different class of living. Youngstown does not have any type of private, higher education option. The people who comment in regard to the total lack of decency in regard to the manner in which this brutal attack transpired are expressing their disgust toward a total lack of basic human dignity. The was, without a doubt, a cowardly act that has once again, cast a negative shadow on a deteriorating town in which, at one time, not pride in a school or system was the dominating source of pride, but basic principals of fair play and morals. To all of the posters that have tried to justify or defend the parties or circumstance in this sad statement of parenting, I can only say "pathetic, absolutely pathetic"
Max, Sorry if I seem "clueless", all I did was read the article above that lists the locations the individuals of the "alleged" crime live. But, being "stupid" I counted really hard and I came up with 2 from Boardman, 2 from Poland, and 3 from Youngstown. The only listed individual from Canfield is the victim. You may feel that Younstown encompasses all of Mahoning county, but I would beg to differ. I was born in this area and always say I hail form the community in which I live. First Austintown, now Canfield. Never Youngstown. I attended Catholic schools until 8th grade but my parents would not allow me to attend the High Schools because of the area in which they reside. Mind you, this decision was made by my parents 32 years ago. Besides, they did not have the money. No silver spoon here. I must say that the fact that these THUGS attend a Catholic School does not make me upset, it makes me ashamed. My intent was to point out the barbaric and cowardly actions of the crime. I also must admit to not being totally truthful in my previous post, I failed to inform the Mooney faithful that the Shetland pony has a mean streak. He tends to kick, but unlike the cowards in the video, he won't kick a man when he is down. He must have been brought up right.
Mr. Sweetwood, BRAVO, a clear, consice reply. I applaud your responce. The only question I have not observed in comments regarding this vicious, cowardly attack is "Why were these cowards in Canfield"? What business did they have here? The lesson learned for the Mooney faithful if you should decide to come to Canfield, at your established ratio, if you send the entire student body, we'll counter with: 6 carnies left from last years fair, the ladies guild for historic restoration, a couple bushels of corn, and a Shetland pony. If you're still thinking about it, one of the carnies has a limp. Sound fair?
