GOP Delegate Candidate Tricia Mezzacappa Sued For Defamation
Judge Beltrami dismissed the case.
Today, I sued Mezzacappa for an incessant torrent of libel extending over a period of several months. I might be the first to sue her, but am by no means her sole victim. She has also defamed West Easton officials, Easton Mayor Sal Panto, Easton police, Northampton County officials and developer Abe Atiyeh.
Both WFMZ-TV69 and The Express Times have excellent accounts.
Other than this announcement, I'll let my lawyer, Rick Orloski, do the talking. Now he is being victimized by Mezzacappa, too.
Amazingly, she's running for Delegate to the GOP Convention.

Bernie,
ReplyDeleteWishing you much success.
Rick Orloski is good counsel.
He must be. He advised me to keep my mouth shut.
ReplyDeleteSee, I told you he was good counsel!
ReplyDeleteAnd if you don't listen to Orloski, he will go all George Zimmerman's lawyers on you. "We would like to announce, we're not his lawyer anymore". lol
ReplyDeleteBernie,
ReplyDeleteYou're such a charmer.
I hope you get the pig
ReplyDeleteWill this end up in a courtroom? I hope you get her pig.
ReplyDeleteReally if this does end up in a courtroom I will be there. Seeing this woman put in her place will do my heart good. She doesn't get to go through life damaging people just because she is damaged. Could someone please tell her that she looks like a clown with all of the makeup she wears. I don't like being picly but as a woman she is a total embarrassment. In case you haven't figured it out yet, she hates men.
Bernie, doesn't West Easton have any codification against piggily williglies, or are pot bellies exempt?
ReplyDeleteWrong spelling Bernie, piggily wiggily!
ReplyDeleteCarol, I believe they do, but have let Mezzacappa slide.
ReplyDeleteBernie,
ReplyDeleteIt looks like someday soon you will be the owner of a little house in West Easton Borough. The taxes aren't so bad. The annual municipal tax on the house is $344 a year. Of course, there are also county and Wilson school taxes. You will be welcomed by a grateful community, a hero to one and all.
P.S. It has the added advantage of being a short drive from the N.C. Courthouse.
Well Bernie, It appears you're going to get to eat pork chops instead of hog jowls. Now if she would have said you are a lowdown skunk eating buzzard, you couldn't have sued her. If only people would speak the truth. All joking set aside, I hope you are successful in stopping this woman from defaming you Bernie. You don't need anymore help. You do alright by yourself. Regardless, we love you.
ReplyDelete"You don't need anymore help. You do alright by yourself."
ReplyDeleteYou got that right.
Hey B.O.-
ReplyDeleteSaw you yesterday outside the Palmer Post Office in your walking clothes. You looked lean and mean. Or as President B.O. would say: Fired up and ready to go!
Good luck in court, although with the facts, the law and Rick Orloski on your side you won't need luck.
Yep. That was me. It was a great day to be out there!
ReplyDeleteFired up and ready to go what?
ReplyDeleteHand over tons more money to SOLYNDRA so it can be flushed down the toilet?
Obamamania really needs to just up and go away ... far away ... FOREVER.
GO AHEAD AND PUT A BOUNTY ON MY HEAD, SEE WHAT HAPPENS NEXT
No, no, no.
ReplyDeleteTo go give another long-winded Class Warfare speech, of course.
And remind everyone about that Republican War on Women ...
OBAMA IS JUST SO COOL I AM OVERWHLEMED BY THE GREATNESS

Good for you Bernie. Let this be the lesson to anyone who maliciously and falsely goes after anyone. The law takes out these people 99.9% of the time. As it should be...a day in court with the Patricas of the world are a day worth waiting for. The destruction they leave in their wake can be devastating. At least we have our day in court.....The victim is the victimizer and the accused is the victim. That's a good day although sad it has to come to that. Everyone pays but the real issue is the one with the issues can no longer hide. No wonder they are and will always be alone. They are easy to spot and thank God for that. You just have to be aware enough or smart enough to keep your distance. There are usually very good reasons why some people are alone. You like it that way, but for some it can only be that way. So beware of loners.....maybe you will stay out of court.
ReplyDeleteWell, well, well Bernie, you have again deleted many posts by people not in agreement with you frivolous lawsuit. You have however allowed any and all malicious posts against Tricia M.
ReplyDeleteWhy not tell you fans(FarmerAngle) that you won't be getting anyone's house. Orloski has already tried the 'call your insurance company' nonsense with the woman and she told you both to pound sand.
You will have this suit dismissed by a judge. You are a bully who has been picking on this woman ever since she turned away from your amorous advances.
You have publicly maligned her, as you have many other innocent people, with your hate blog. You make sure defamatory posts stay and posts with opposing points of view or more factual less hateful information and questions, disappear.
The judges don't live in a vacuum. They know lawyers games and that this is a travesty of the court system and our tax dollars.
Shame on you, once again. Even women don't fear you and your mean games.
To Anonymous 6:35PM -
ReplyDeleteFirst, how many years have you been practicing law to be able to confidently opine that "you will have this suit dismissed by a judge"?
Second, do you really believe that "pound sand" is a winning legal strategy?
How would 6:35 know what Mezzacappa told Orloski to do???
ReplyDeleteThe law is defined by what a "reasonable person" would do. If an attorney tries to harass you into contacting your Insurance company for a quick payoff to get out of a nuisance suit and you tell him to "pound sand",the judge would applaud the reasonable action. Your threats are as meaningless as your contention this woman has hurt your "reputation".
ReplyDeleteThat goes for your so called anonymous commenter's who all seem to write the same way. Sounds kind of Gross or maybe just a bit FarmerAngleish.
I see. Thanks for the legal lesson.
ReplyDeleteTM has two sets of lips so she can piss and moan at the same time
ReplyDeleteShe is a tease. All bark and no bite. Look at her personal life. While it had similarities to Bernie's he is not driven by hate or sexual frustration/confusion. As a woman I am both embarrassed and disturbed by much about Patrica. Bernie is a e lawyer turned blogger who works hard to make us aware of what is going on in our area and because of this he does ruffle some feathers. I get that, but he is who he is while P wears a mask much like this president. Spend a little time with both of them and you will not want to ever be around P again. She is all about herself while Bernie has an assortment of topics to speak about and hardly ever about himself. One looks like a clown while the other gets blamed for being one. It is hard to remain fair minded with such nasty lies being tossed around. Bernie has never risen to her level nor will he. She may come after you next. Let's see how much you like her then. She needs to be feared, not Bernie...
ReplyDeleteAnon 9:06 am,
ReplyDeleteGreat observation and articulation. You provide a much needed faith and breath of fresh air for the blogging community.
I agree that it was very nice to read those words.
ReplyDeleteIt's ludicrous all the lawsuits reported on on this site and now the author joins in once again. What a waste of time and resources in some form of adult name-calling contest. You should be ashamed.

Otherwise known as "ironpigpen." He's quite the mental giant.
2:13, Since September, Mezzacappa has been making outrageous claims of criminal activity and worse against me. She was then joined by the Gracedale Goons, who participated in amd repeated these false accusations, as well as making some of their own. They hired an idiot lawyer who has engaged in blatant acts of both malicious prosecution and abuse of process. And they've all been encouraged by their blog mentor. There has been a concerted effort to ostracize me and deprive me of income bc my views are different.
ReplyDeleteBelieve me when I tell you that Mezzacappa is only the beginning. You can expect to see additional law suits in the weeks to come, especially once I commence discovery. Before this is over, I can think of several people who are going to be checking their homeowner policies. this will all lead to their cowardly blog mentor.
Bernie,
ReplyDeleteMake 'em all squeal like little piggies!!!
Somehow a quote from the film Deliverece makes all the sense in the world, on this blog.
