NorCo Council Candidate Tricia Mezzacappa Sues Express Times

NorCo County Council and West Easton Borough Council candidate Tricia Mezzacappa is pretty busy these days. Earlier this week,  DA John Morganelli approved the filing of harassment charges against her for her online impersonations. Now she wants a green light from the DA to go after the person she impersonated (Matthew Dees), the person she threatened to kill (Kelly Gross) and the person she defamed (moi). In addition, on Thursday, she filed suit against The Express Times.

I just couldn't bring myself to look at the Complaint, but staffers tell me she's upset because they write about her too much. If this daily newspaper keeps exposing her, she might not get elected. Also, these stories are making it impossible for her to get a job as a nurse.

I'm sure Lehigh Valley Hospital would be just thrilled to hire someone who threatened to drag an elected official to the river and drown her.

I tried discussing this matter with reporter Tom Shortell, but the second he spotted me, he jumped out a fourth floor window.

His funeral is Tuesday.

When Editor Jim Deegan saw me, he jumped in the Delaware River.

On Monday, Mezzacappa will be suing herself. That way she's got all the bases covered.

Updated 4/29, Noon: You can read her lawsuit here. It's a hoot.

  1. "..suing herself." LOL.
    I wonder if the Express Times will print the story of them getting sued by Mezzacappa because they print stories about Mezzacappa? Tricia Mezzacappa blames everyone else for the things she brings down on herself. It isn't anyone else preventing her from being hired. When an employer Googles her name, her West Easton Foot Print posts are at the top of the returns and all the potential employer needs to do is read her rantings to know she is a major risk.

    I didnt see WEFP posts, but most stories mention her personal blog WEFP that wuold lead an employr to her blog.
    either way her blog kills her chances at a job.

  3. Pissants like shortell and o'haters poison posse have driven this fine woman to the edge, this is the first step for Mezzacappa to restore her credibility and most likely score a big payday.

  4. I see. If she wants to restore her credibility, she should stop lying, drop out of both races, apologize to all the people she's hurt, offer damages for the pain she's caused and pay Atty Orloski's legal bills.

  6. In all honesty, I thought Tricia was wonderful in the Wizard of Oz.

  7. It begs the question how she can't be competent to stand trial, but is competent enough to file suit. I hope the Morning Call countersues.

    ReplyDelete
  8. I hope they do, too, especially since she sued The Express Times.

  9. Bernie, Do you know if Tricia Mezzacappa is represented by an attorney or this another one of her "pro se" disasters?

  10. I guess that she never heard the warning about not picking a fight with someone who buys ink by the barrel.

  11. I am advising her in exchange for Earl's remains once he passes on, at which point I will have him taxidermied and placed in my master bedroom.

    ReplyDelete
  12. Kevin, I believe she's missed more than a few admonitions.

    11:40, I have not seen the complaint, but she no doubt did this herself. That's the way she rolls.

    ReplyDelete
  13. I guess she isn't aware of New York Times v. Sullivan and the "actual malice standard" in libel cases. Or maybe she is and doesn't think it applies to her because she's special.

    ReplyDelete
  14. You piss and moan about this woman. At least she didn't try to shoot anyopne, why not write about that. Also your "drug coctail" comment shows your lack of any real sympathy.

    I wonder if they would check my car for spyware. I think someone put a tracking device somewhere in it. I looked all over the place already and could find one.

    But I am not satisfied yet. A nail in the tire and a huge scratch on the door...plus I caught the alarm going off in Giant parking lot...someone was in it, but I was too late to catch them.

    I agree that this area just continues to go right down the tubes. The extremely high tax rates , garbage fees and sewer fees continue to skyrocket in a town that should merge with another. Its driving the citizenry out of town, and its citizens are being replaced with the bottom rung. It is too small, and is run by corn fed bozos who waste taxpayer money on personal vendettas. This would be the Gross cartel of West Easton.

    I live right near Jefferson, and always hear shots fired from that direction...hard to distinguish shots from fireworks....add in those awful loud suped up cars right near that area. Surprised anyone can sleep.

    The current Borough Council needs to be voted out, and quickly. They are destroying what once was a great (and quiet) place to live...first a jail, now this. Sad, really sad.
    26+6=1 and surface tension like this.

  17. Please let me state for the record, Mezzacappa is the most physically unattractive person I have ever seen. She must have been a real doozy when she was younger. And her personality and temperament do NOT add any sandwiches to the empty picnic basket! And she thinks she is Baywatch material. Yeah! Maybe in Bizzaro World?!

  20. I don't understand how a person can be deemed incompetent to stand trial, yet be competent to command a political structure/entity/position of responsibility.
    The Courts have consistently held that reporting on a political candidate in an Election year, is Legal. We already have enough polititian's that already are held to be incompetent. That's the problem....

  22. Is she a TV/TS? A male in woman's clothing? It might explain the erratic behavior.

  23. "shows your lack of any real sympathy."

    I have no sympathy for her or her Blog Mentor. But i would not delight in her misery or dance on her grave. I would not wish for her death.

  24. "You piss and moan about this woman. At least she didn't try to shoot anyopne, why not write about that. Also your "drug coctail" comment shows your lack of any real sympathy."

    She has repeatedly fantasized about shooting people, so mu ch so that The Express Times was forced to suspend her lehighvalleylive account.

    The "drug cocktail" remark is her own comment. In emails to my attorney, she referred to the "drug cocktail" she must imbibe. In pleadings fled in court, she claims she is under the influence of controlled substances to such as extent that it has rendered her incompetent.

  25. "The extremely high tax rates, garbage fees and sewer fees continue to skyrocket in a town that should merge with another. Its driving the citizenry out of town, and its citizens are being replaced with the bottom rung."

    My guess is this 3:10 AM comment came from a sleep-deprived Tricia Mezzacappa. A simple question for her: Why do you stay in West Easton? Pack your bags and move somewhere where the taxes and fees are low and your neighbors are top rung. That's the beauty of freedom. You can leave anytime.

  26. "ts citizens are being replaced with the bottom rung"

    Thanks to an easton police report, we know what she thinks about that bottom rung.

  27. On the Express Times website recently, Tricia Mezzacappa was extremely critical of people who resort to suing others.

    "It seems like everyone wants to sue, sue and sue some more," she commented. "Look at that crazy Lehigh University case where Megan Thode sued over a grade."

    That was two weeks ago. This week Mezzacappa reportedly is suing the Express Times because the newspaper had the audacity to report the news about her.

    Mezzacappa doesn't have any credibility about anything.

  28. She is SO crazy, they have'nt invented a word for her disorder yet. Maybe psychomezza.

    ReplyDelete
  29. This entire thread is proof this is nothing more than a hate blog.

    Has Tricia ever shot at anyone? What is worse, talking about your guns or shooting at people?

    You deserve the nickname you are all known by, Hater O'Hare and his poison posse!

  30. Lawsuits aside, the following news story bears a number of parallels to what's going on with TS, even if it happened in North Carolina.

    Seriously, check out the top photo that goes with the article. One day, it's going to happen...

  31. I was wondering how they go about revoking someone's concealed Carry permit. Will someone in Northampton County Law enforcement ring her doornell and ask her for it?

    ReplyDelete
  32. A revocaton is governed under section 6109(i). It gives the Sheriff the athrity to revoke a permit for good cause. Notice is sent by certified mail. After that, a person has five days to surrender the license. A person may appeal the Sheriff's decision.

    I believe Mezzacappa's LTCF has been revoked, but no one will say so on the record. Although her application might be confidential, I do not believe a revocation is confidential and am considering making a formal request.

  33. Any chance that Pat Toomey will amend his gun bill agreement to mandate that Miss Mezzacappa be subjested to mandatory mental testing, as well as a regular home and body cavity search?

    ReplyDelete
  34. Any chance you will be pettitoning the Sheriff to have Ron Angle Jr.'s concealed carry permit pulled?

    That is the only one that has proven to be unwarrented and dangerous.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Christ, Bernie, The Express is only about 5 days late. This is not news, it is only now an article fit for a weekly journal. Does this paper have reporters anymore that leave the computer and actually go out to find out what is going on around this town/county? Well something is already BREWING right under their nose and no-body see's it yet.Cognative psychology not applied.

    ReplyDelete
  36. I don't have to petition the Sheriff. His license will be pulled automatically. I would certainly agree that any person involved in drug activity should have his LTCF pulled. By her own admission, Mezzacappa is involved in drugs to such an extent that she is incompetent.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Bernie, i think you are jealous since she makes the news more than you, let it go bernie, you are no different, people say crap about you all the time and you get mad and blow it off like they are wrong, you seem to like to make yourself feel so important, you sit at home all day, crash parties, talk about people behind there back and than talk about them on your blog, get a real job, your no different than her, annoying, never wrong and obnoxious. rumor has it you have alot of issues too, lol

  40. The Easton Rag does not do investigative reporting..they do reactive reporting. Regurgitating news stories and ripping Bernie off by reading his blog for what is hot. They have no shame.

    ReplyDelete
  41. Excuse me but Bernie is the adult in the room on this story. He has shown tremendous restraint under the circumstances. Anyone else would have decked her long ago.

  42. "now you wear a suite and a mask."

    I'm wearing no mask. I take responsibility for every word I write. Also, I am not authority nor do I strive to be authority. Finally, the only times I wear a "suite" are when I have to.

    I'd love to see how you would react to see your name plastered all over the front pages of a newspaper and on Channel 69 with ridiculous and false accusations, designed to make you look like a monster. Then this same person decides to post internet death fantasies about killing you. Then this same person refers to people in her neighborhood with racial epithets. Then she decides to run for office.

    Sorry, I'm nutz, but this is in another league of cRaZy.

  43. Good everlovin' Lord, Tricia as a nurse!!!???What could be scarier than being in the hospital, let alone Tricia by your bedside. But, not to worry, Tricia has abandoned the notion of being employed by a hospital -- she does not take supervision well, and she knows it. She is starting a counseling service for overworked public employees, and I expect she will be very successful.

    ReplyDelete
  44. Stay strong Tricia. The O'Hare hater poison posse are hypocrites. They excuse the real criminal behavior of one, and attack you.


    Real men these teabaggers.

  45. And just as I was reading your comments on LehighValleyLive regarding the county not checking, your comments disappeared?

  46. Looks like the newspaper does not want to tell the truth. That's OK. I saved the comments I posted.

  47. What is there to gain by suing the Express Times? If you win, you might end up part owner.

    ReplyDelete
  48. County Council should have higher standards above Tricia.
