FYI: for the second time in 4 months,
Chris Casey, Lehigh County Democratic Party Committee "man" from Trexlertown has perpetrated sadistic cruelty, harassment, and libel in the local blogosphere against the grief-stricken family of Sheena Villa
from Allentown.

Last time you may recall, Allentown City Council VP "W" Mike Donovan kept all of Casey's anti-Villas vile up at his blog for nearly 4 months after declaring that Casey's sadistically cruel comments (some intimating necrophilia) were "fun to read,"according to Donovan.

Readers, Muhlenberg College Professor Jeff Pooley is now claiming at his blog that I "demanded" he remove Chris Casey's vile comments.

This is a lie ... as our email exchange on the subject, which I posted in the comments section of LVS's previous post clearly reveals ...

And I want to make clear that I did not take the comments down to meet Mr. Villa’s demand.

Bill Villa said...

We still appreciate Dr. Pooley's removal of Casey's filthy comments ... even though Pooley didn't remove them proactively ... had to be confronted about them ... and now is lying about his deletions. It's Allentown. You take what you can get.

Try to not glaze over. This is a very important local social injustice issue-- it is much more than a "personal issue" ...

Editor's Note: Readers, I tried linking to WDIY in this comment, and in the post's main text, but the website for WDIY is "off the air" and not responding at this time.

Jon said...

While we're waiting ...

how about a Villas song! (WDIY plays the Villas music all the time!)

Angie Villa said...

WDIY-FM has been The Villas most loyal and longstanding local supporter of our nationally acclaimed music, and we hope WDIY's support of us extends into the area of exposing the sadistically cruel cyber muzzling attempts we've been fighting (and winning handily) for over 2 years now.

Bill Villa said...

Well said, Doll (and merci, Jon).

An equally great local supporter of The Villas music has been Godfrey Daniels, like "DIY" a rare gem when it comes to showcasing and supporting local original music.

Wait until the 1960s-brand social consciences at Godfrey Daniels find out about what's been being perpetrated on us, and by whom, are they gonna be pissed off or what ...

Bill Villa said...

(can't forget)

The Fun House is another terrific supporter of local original music, as is The Wildflower Cafe, AND, the newly revved-up dual venues at Planet Trog. We hope to play all these great venues again (or for the first time) in the coming months/years.

Anon 11:55, Mea Culpa, because of legal compliance issues we cannot publish your highly entertaining and well-written comment.

We can, however, publish the LINK you sent us, which you used to great effect in making your point that "birds of a feather flock together."

A BIG MERCI to you for this delicious factual information, it fits in great here (exclusively) at LVS (for now).

The City Official said...

Bill, Donovan is declaring at his blog (for now) that he'll be at City Council this Wednesday evening ...

Bill Villa said...

Cool. I'll be there too.

And isn't this (from Donovan's blog) just totally precious, and priceless ...

... we're asking all Villas supporters to stay home (for your own cyber safety) on AUG 4 and to let me again confront Donovan, City Council, the "press box," and all attendees alone-- all by myself.

Not to worry, the room will be laughably over-matched again, and hopefully this third revolution will be televised.

Thanks for the note. Not sure why you're including me on your e-mails. I cover state, not local, government.

In any case, thanks for passing this along.

John, we've included you because you comment at the blogs of those who have been cyber terrorizing my grief-stricken family and me for nearly two years, and in effect condoning their cruel sadism, and giving them unmerited credibility.

Also because you are one of numerous individuals intimately aware of what's been being perpetrated on my family and me who seems to enjoy that it's happening to us.

We hope your unholy alliance choices don't have anything to do with drummer [Redacted] having quit your "band" a few years back to join The Villas (briefly) but who knows what causes people to be attracted to evil rather than to good.

Mr. Villa:

I'm not sure that I can convince you otherwise, but I don't condone cruelty to anyone. It's quite sad that you lost your daughter. And as a father, I cannot even begin to fathom the pain that must have caused you.

But, please, allow me to assure you that there's no "alliance," unholy, or otherwise, between myself or any other Lehigh Valley blogger. If I have commented at those blogs -- and it's been a while, as I recall -- it's usually been to clarify some point of fact.

In the daily round-up of blogs that appears on Capitol Ideas, I've just tried to provide a geographic balance of links for readers across the state. There's no endorsement, explicit or implicit of the blogs that appear there. I have no wish to be party to your dispute with anyone else. And, really, I have no wish to be party to a dispute with you.

And as it concerns [Redacted], I wish him nothing but the best. His decision to discontinue playing in my old combo was down to personal reasons. I was unaware he'd gone on to play with you. But you write great songs, so I'm glad he found a home with a terrific pop outfit. I listened to your recent songs and really dug them.

Cordially,
John Micek

John, while we appreciate your kind words about our loss, and our songs, when will somebody, other than Angie and me, have the guts to do the right thing, take a position, and condemn bloggers like Chris Casey, "W" Mike Donovan, Dave Najarian, and others, who have been perpetrating gross social injustices against good and civic-minded people, i.e., Angie and me?

What's it gonna take? YOU personally being cyber terrorized? YOU personally having phony criminal charges approved against you by the PA State Attorney General in cahoots with the Lehigh County DA?

Where's your empathy, and your humanity? w/ all due respect, we can see where your apathy is; that's front and center.

John, when you and anyone else hob-knobs and yuks it up at the blogs of these cretins, you are absolutely condoning their cyber cruelty against my family and me. So we ask that you at least stop engaging w/ these cyber bullies cordially, if you're not willing to give them the confrontation they deserve. Thanks again for your kind words, and for your thoughtful consideration of our reasonable request. -Bill Villa, 610.428.xxxx

P.S. John you cover the Harrisburg beat. How about calling me and doing a story on PA State Attorney General Tom Corbett's shameful collusion with Lehigh County DA Jim Martin in the ludicrous Dave Najarian "harassment" case fix attempt against me.

"In the daily round-up of blogs that appears on Capitol Ideas, I've just tried to provide a geographic balance of links for readers across the state." -John Micek

Curiously, John Micek NEVER name-checks or links to THIS blog, even when Attorney General Tom Corbett (from MIcek's beat) and Lehigh County DA Jim Martin (right) and attorney (for now) Dave Najarian get their asses kicked by Bill Villa in Lehigh County Magisterial District Court.

Somehow, this ain't news, or even worth a "round-up" mention, eh?

Anonymous said...

Villas, if/when Donovan doesn't apologize to you on AUG 4, Betty Powell, PhD, this is who you want to meet with at Cedar Crest about this and this.

Bill Villa said...

5:06, thanks (somebody emailed us her name back-channel on Saturday).

McJudas, as much as we'd like to believe John Micek's smooth talking, his inconsistencies are troubling.

As you pointed out, Micek ignores LVS's crony-corruption stories even when they intersect w/ his Harrisburg beat, but he clicks on our links here and listens to our new songs.

John, as long as you're here anyway grooving to Villas songs, have a read why dont'cha ...

Bill Villa said...

Readers, I just called and spoke w/ Morning Call Harrisburg beat reporter, John Micek. He's under some deadline pressure at the moment, so we agreed I'd call him back tomorrow, Tuesday, mid-morning.

I believe Morning Call readers deserve to know the whole story, and the truth, regarding attorney (for now) Dave Najarian's unsuccessful phony trumped-up criminal "harassment" charges against me ... which were seized upon by DA Jim Martin as "payback" for my having outmaneuvered both Jumbo Jimbo and The Morning Call "newspaper" in the prosecuting and sentencing of my daughter Sheena's killer-- he got 5.5 to 12 years in State Prison and not a "weekend in jail and some house arrest."

DA Jim Martin got his buddy the PA State Attorney General Tom Corbett to "investigate" and "approve" Dave Najarian's bogus charges-- none of which rose to the level of harassment (basically, I had accurately called Najarian a "pussy," and that was it), and the Judge agreed and tossed Najarian's whiney/phony and DA- and AG-assisted case out the window.

But Tom Corbett had put his stamp of "investigative approval" on it-- wasting taxpayer time and money, and government resources, to play games with rabbit ears, lard-ass Jim Martin, in Martin's vendetta against me, because Martin knows I'm gaining on him.

It's a great story and it needs to be told to a wider audience than the one we have here at LVS. And since it's a Harrisburg story, John Micek should write it.
