Why would a large group of men just hang around on the corner???... That's what kids do after school or on summer vacation.

If women would hang around on the corner, people would think they were hookers.

When do these frightening things end?

[No Mercy]

There is a crew every year that live a few doors in from the SW corner at 2nd and Chew Streets that have 'heavy' fireworks and literally bombs.
The stuff that they blow off for a week is so loud that can be heard and seen as far away as 4th St. on South Mountain.
The cops are called and drive by or not at all every night as it goes on unhindered.
The best cure would be to shoot them one by one as they blow off the bombs.

They don't end. But they could have been prevented by Joe Daddona had he not invited welfare skunks from NYC and PR to Allentown for a free lunch. Allentown could have been a working city with huge historic sections and nightlife. But no. They chose to help the lazy and become a city of welfare and HUD housing. Enjoy. I won't be there to put up with it.

You have to be careful when the cops are sent out, it has to be okayed by the mayor so that if they get into trouble, he can have them fired. Of course in bethlehem they have a car parked on the sidewalk at 10th and Broad streets. When the cops drive by, nothing is done and several people are hanging around and handing things back and forth(drugs?) and then they leave. I called and nothing is done. The gangs are taking over our cities and our stupid fling leaders don't give a dam9. Bethlehem is getting just like allentown(same type of leadership).

You know, if we started blasting them ourselves, they'd be out there in force looking for the p*ssed off white people...
