Attention-seeker Tricia Mezzacappa has been spotted in downtown Bethlehem, open carrying a firearm. I've already received two calls.
Updated Friday, 1:30 AM: Mezzacappa was confronted by some poor soul at this event. Here's how she explains it.
I was unlawfully accosted and illegally detained by some punk in a yellow shirt and long hair, standing next to that ghoulish wacko Dana Grube who was taking photos for the Bethlehem Press. In the presence of Grube , who was there to harass me, the punk said that I was unlawfully carrying a firearm without a license.Her criticism of Dana Grubb (not Grube) tells me she thinks he is the one who snapped her picture and sent it to me. He's not. The picture below, which includes her with Dana in front of her, taking pictures, should make that clear.
Tempted, (but kept my mouth shut and left) I had a fleeing [sic] thought to show this ass what unlawful is, in regard to a firearm, like pistol whipping his face bloody and unrecognizable . Just the type of activity that people like rapist and animal abuser Bernie O'Hare so desperately want, so that I will never be able to own or carry one again.
I hope the fat fuck pops an anneurism [sic]and drops dead in that one room Nazareth hovel
Mezzacappa does have the right to open carry. But a license is required for "carrying a firearm concealed on or about one's person or in a vehicle throughout this Commonwealth." It makes no difference whether it is loaded. There are some common-sense exceptions to this rule, like hunting or going to a gun show. But there's no hunting, firing ranges or gun shows at Payrow Plaza. She broke the law.

Big deal .
How paranoid is she that she feels the need to open carry on the streets of tranquil Bethlehem? Just what i want my kids to see as they walk down the block on July 4. What an idiot!
She is probably carrying for reasons other then for protection. May it be political attention or just plain attention or aggravating the powers that be who knows?
Bottom line is that unless she is doing illegally she has the right to do it.
Do I think she should be in possession of a firearm or weapon...No...I truly think her mental stability should be tested by a doctor and firearms taken away for good.
BUT...until that comes we just have to wait and pray.
If she is in the company of
Gregory and carrying, they should be arrested.
Need a ride to downtown Bethlehem?
I'll come pick you up if you want.
So what.
Did they arrest her yet.
It may be legal to open carry a firearm in Pennsylvania. It is not legal to transport the firearm in a vehicle without a license to carry, with limited exceptions. Mezzacappa's license to carry firearms was revoked several months ago by Sheriff Miller. So how did she get from West Easton to Bethlehem? Did she walk or did she and her firearm get there in a vehicle? Does one of the limited exceptions apply? Given this woman's recent convictions for disorderly conduct and harassment and the revocation of her LTCF,these are questions law enforcement should be asking in the interest of public safety.
Who cares?
Quite a few people, Blog Mentor.
"Bottom line is that unless she is doing illegally she has the right to do it."
I do not dispute she has the right to open carry, but she does not have a right to transport any firearm, loaded or unloaded, in a compartment or not, without first having a LTCF. She does not have one. She broke the law.
"She is probably carrying for reasons other then for protection. "
Agreed. She suffers from a histrionic personality disorder, and does what she can to draw attention to herself.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Histrionic_personality_disorder
Now your qualified to slap that diagnosis on her how? Really... Bernie if you ignore this she wil stop and less chance an innocent person gets hurt!
Obviously, Trica doesn't feel the Sherriff or D.A. can protect the safety of NORCO citizens.
Neither do I.
"Do I think she should be in possession of a firearm or weapon...No...I truly think her mental stability should be tested by a doctor and firearms taken away for good.

12:54 PM"

4:48 PM"
Sounds like a train wreck is about to occur. Free-for-all or Rule-of-law?
Title 18 § 6105. Persons not to possess, use, manufacture, control, sell or transfer firearms.
(a) Offense defined.--
(1) A person who has been convicted of an offense enumerated in subsection (b), within or without this Commonwealth, regardless of the length of sentence or [any of the offenses enumerated in subsection (b)
(b) Enumerated offenses.--The following offenses shall apply
to subsection (a):
Section 2709 (relating to harassment and stalking) if the offense relates to stalking.
Section 4952 (relating to intimidation of witnesses or
victims).
Section 4953 (relating to retaliation against witness or
victim).
Tricia exibits all of these behaviors. A complaint should be filed with the District Attorney.
Clinton Bernie Oxford,
Who do you think you are kidding with all these fake iumpersonations?? If she couldnt carry, shed be arrested, stupid. The cops were there. No wonder you got disbarred. You are just dumb. You and your fake oxford!!
tic tac tic tac
Trioia Mezzacappa, Open carry is legal. Driving with a gun is not, unless you have a LTCF. You don't write the laws. You will be arrested, sooner or later.
Ms. Mezzacappa's mental instability renders her unfit to handle firearms or hold a Nursing License, which may be revoked after filing a proper complaint. It is a Public Safety Issue.
Gregory can't transport it either. I don't think he can even have a firearm due to his PFA and also his criminal conviction.
The conditions of his supervision does prohibit association with certain individuals and activities.
His co-conspiritor T.Mezz, may be one of them. A simple phone call to his P.O. is all it takes.
I'd be more concerned with how to get gonorrhea off the handle of the gun.
What kind of an idiot walks around like Yosemite Sam in Bethlehem, PA in 2013? What an ass.
Bottom line is that unless she is doing illegally she has the right to do it.
She may have the right but in my 4 decades living in the LV, I have NEVER seen any fool walking around with a firearm except for police officers. This isn't Tombstone.
what does it matter if she is carring a gun? you live in nazareth! get a life! i think you are the paranoid one!!!
9:11.whats it to you?
First of all..."Anonymous 8:01pm"-there were no cops there...that's the beauty of Bethlehem -we are a very safe city and don't need cops at every gathering,although if we continue to have wackadoodles running around like Calamity Jane,that may all change. Second of all,Dana did not take that picture. I took that picture because I thought it was a beautiful ceremony and I love my city. That woman showed up so she could start a little controversy - and it didn't work. No one talked to her or even nodded their head towards her. She's not from Bethlehem,she wasn't part of the program,so she didn't need to be there. She's a nut!,and now that I know she can't transport a vehicle-next time I see her I'm calling the cops myself...so my advice to Calamity Jane-stay out of Bethlehem!!!!
Calamity Jane indeed! She thinks she's Annie Oakley but she's more like Elmer Fudd with his shotgun. A joke of a human being.
Pack heat
Bethlehem police, indeed the entire Bethlehem community, handled this beautifully. They ignored it. You might learn something here
Met Tricia yesterday for the first time. She was nothing more then a class act, well spoken, fun lady! Bernie you seem obsessed with her! Kinda creepy if you ask me!
It is rare that i get contacted and sent pictures about someone at an event. It was not ignored, and it bothered many of the people there.
"9:11.whats it to you?"
Like I said, it's something to quite a few people.
If Tricia is convicted of helping Gregory intimidate his Victim, she will be prohibited from possessing a firearm. All you need is Evidence.
Yawn.
So this gal goes to bethlehem,and nothing happens....
Yawn.
Blog Mentor, We learned from Tricia herself that she was harassed by Grubb and some fellow in a yellow shirt. She nearly had to pistol whip them both. She stopped traffic to get directions to main Street, with her gun in a holster. She bothered people enough that I have heard from three people at this event. One was worried she might act out. Another snapped her picture. The comments here indicate most people were concerned.
She does have a right to open carry, but has no right to transport that gun in a vehicle. She broke the law, and will eventually be arrested.
Someone was worried that something might happen. But didn't .
Okay,got it.
Gregory + Mezzacappa= a whole lot of crazy danger.
When a person openly carries a firearm, even if done lawfully, that person should expect stares and possibly some questions and comments. If the firearms carrier is going to lash out and think, even momentarily, about "pistol whipping" someone's face "bloody and unrecognizable" that's scary. The fact that she put her violent thought in writing and published it online is even scarier.
Just read the latest Gregory/Mezza comments on WEF. Very sad. they are attacking Jerry, Ron and Jen Sletvold. Gregory wants all to show up at his hearing. Why? Who knows. he wants them to show their support of a convicted woman abuser.
He needs to screw his head on and apologize to these people. he then must accept responsibility for his life and grow up.
doubt that will happen. At 60 years of age, he has failed marriage's, failed jobs and now a criminal record. Yet he believes everyone else is wrong.
He and Mezza are very disturbed people. Also dangerous and unstable.
Someone was worried that something might happen. But didn't .
Okay,got it.
The bigger story to me is that this stooge is walking around with a gun on her hip. Whoever heard of any asshole in the LV doing such a thing? A total asshole brandishing her right to be an asshole.
Bernie O'Hare @ 3:16 PM: I don't know if Tricia Mezzacappa has a histrionic personality disorder. But, by her own admission, Mezzacappa is taking controlled substances for an anxiety condition. She informed the Northampton County Court of Common Pleas of her mental status and opined that due to the potency of her meds she would be "unfit" to defend herself in a pending lawsuit. Those are assertions she made in a public court filing.
"When a person openly carries a firearm, even if done lawfully, that person should expect stares and possibly some questions and comments.

Bingo. Dana Grubb, who she has never met, was there to film the event for the Beth Press. He was not there to film her or harass her, as she claims. From whayt I have been told, he did not interact with her in any way.
The other fellow, from what I've been told, was actually supportive. That's what bothers me. She talks about pistol whipping some guy who just asked her about her gun. Imagine what she would do to someone who confronted her.
She is not dealing with reality, but some fantasy world, imagining slights that have not occurred, is fantasizing about violent acts, and is walking around Bethlehem's children with a gun.
@ 3:59 PM Driving under the influence is illegal, yet carrying loaded firearms while high(impaired) by pharmaceutical's is legal behavior. NORCO is sending a poor message to society.
BO your description of Mezzacappa could be applied to Gregory.
It could very well apply to him. I believe Gregory suffers from narcissistic personality disorder.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narcissistic_personality_disorder
Golly, who else around here might fit that description?
The Blog Mentor. In spades.
Your "sweetie" remark is sexist. I have no idea who Callahan intends to name as DCED Director. He has to get elected first, and does not clear his prospective department heads by a blogger. Lori's strength is community development.
I wish she would pistol whip me bloody. I would sue Northampton county and the state for allowing a known medicated person to open carry a firearm. It's all fun and games until someone gets hurt. They can't act like they didn't know she was a problem. Enough already!
Most of you people involved in Polotics are worse of the the rest of us, bunch of drunks, wife beaters thieves, crooks, drug addicts, gambling addicts,, ect , all wearing a mask for society!
Actually, most of the people involved in politics are nothing like that at all. But they are human. Just like you.
O'Hare checking out that view of T's caboose. You had the chance to plow that field. Now Gregory is doing the plowing.
I did not snap the picture. This blog ic concerned with an open carry, not who is plowing who.

WHO THE HELL WALKS UP TO SOMEONE WITHOUT A BADGE AND DEMANDS THAT THEY SURRENDER THEIR FIREARM???
WHAT A FUCKING LOSER
Daddy daddy lease pay attention to me. If her father were only alive...
TM now that da meddit manslab is in your life there is no need for firearms, he is a mauve belt under sensei steven segal, and has perfected the vulcan death pinch. If B.o or any of his beth press cronies try to pester u in public having da slab there in his karate gi will surely minimize these incidents. Realease the tapes jim and i will give tm a workshop on how to milk a prostate
Norco twink
She wants a law suit.
All TM needs is a cowgirl hat ,a pile of lipstick and some shit kickers and we have have the Lehigh Valley version of Sally Starr. YEeeee Haaaah!
Trish is so freakin' hot!
You should try to get back with her, Bern...
"She wants a law suit."
Possible. She also likes being the center of attention.
Who else around here is like that? Hummmm...
The Blog Mentor. But nobody notices him anymore.
Footprint has another disgusting post about JG's victim. How is this allowed?
Her comments are obviously designed to embarrass the victim into silence. It might constitute witness intimidation, since proceedings are still pending. There were several assistant DAs at Tuesday's hearing, and I am sure they are looking at her.
JG says he owns that blog so wouldn't it be on him since he's allowing that? Hopefully someone sees it and does something about it.
Gregory is an incorrigible liar. That is her blog and her disgusting style of writing.
Jim g has a monster dong
I cannot believe the entry Gregory made on WEF. Only he would know the things written. Since he got his new Camaro, he is known as Doug Camaro.
How stupid does he think people are? His Mensa brain and skilled martial arts won't get him out of a stint in NCP for again intimidating and embarrassing the woman he abused.
Next time the young woman he harassed at the Sands will testify. he is toast as well as a dumb ass.
"Doug Camaro" is one of the many names being used by Mezzacappa.
Okay. The Blog Mentor.
Who else ???????
Jim gregory has to wake up to the reality of life and face up to the fact that all of what is happening now is due to his conduct and not anyone else. He can't accept that simple fact that he is in control of his future, not Sletvold, not Heckman, not Seyfried, not zito, not callahan, not spadoni, non Nina, not Ohare, not mezzacappa, nor anyone else. He alone is the single major issue that he is in the predicament that he is in and no one else. He can't accept that. He is in front of a judge because he violated court orders. No one can help him with that. Right now he is in front of the courts for "contempt". Only he knows what he has done and if he is in contempt or not in contempt. Had he kept his mouth shut and not responded on your blog he would not have been charged with contempt. He was founf guilty for his comments on your blog. This is truly a sad story of a mentally ill person in need of help.
Gregory, the Fake Rev, Barron von Footinmouth and a hist of egotists.
I realize you are trying to implicate me in this, Blog Mentor, but you need to look in a mirror.
I would not doubt if he will have another contempt charge to deal with at some point this week. The harassment and intimidation is clearly continuing. He should be so ashamed and embarrassed by his actions; however, he seems to think he is well respected in the community and everyone supports him. The only things I see are a PFA, contempt charges, accusations of videotaping, a parole officer, a possibility of jail time if he continues to be in contempt, possibly no job, no labor council officer position, etc. Does he call this winning?
The latest entry on the WEF is a disgusting attack on the victim. Opening up very personal claims and situations. I believe she has a case against Gregory and Mezzacappa.
They are way over the line in intimadating and attacking this young woman. They are openly accusing her of prostitution. They are claiming the Mayor and DA are clients. They have accused Judge Zito of impropriety because of his family. Enough is enough, this has to stop. This young woman is not a public figure and deserves protection from this. She must be terrified. The DA needs to step in before it is too late.
Prediction:
In less than 30 days Mezzacappa will be charged with Harassment... again. This time as a co-conspirator with Gregory, since it is her blog that is displaying stories and comments. Gregory is found guilty of violating his parole. How freak'n stupid can two people be?
Odds on Defense Arguments (Pro Se)
2-1: O'Hare did it.
2-1: "Opinions" are protected under 1st Amend.
3-1: Blog Was Hacked
3-1: Home was broken into and computer used by someone else.
1000-1: Unfit to stand trial due to mental condition.
Note: No bets will be taken that Mezzacappa or Gregory cuts a deal to roll over on the other.
Jim g is falling victim to the rough and tumble world of Norco political hackery, the baked ziti brained super senior judge never should have been assigned a case of this magnitude, retire and hit the shuffleboard court.
Can someone post a link to bill whites recent article that the boneheads over at WeFP are ranting about in the blog that has bernie mounting bill in a turtle suit
Classic Abuser rhetoric; Failure to accept Responsibility; Feel's Rules don't apply...& the list geos on.
Judges see this behavior all the time. Jim's motive's are transparent to the Court.
Bill White was probably added to the Mezzacappa/Gregory "Hate List" due to his article, "Jim Gregory Express roars out of the station." It was a satire piece on Gregory's run for Mayor.
http://www.mcall.com/news/local/white/mc-bw-jim-gregory-20130607,0,3190676.column
Posted on WEFP "The Morning Call, allows Bernie O'Hare to write opinion pieces, under the name of Bill White, (Columnist)."
"Jim Gregory spent a full hour speaking with Bill White after his PFA hearing."
Is Bernie O'Hare actually Bill White?
Is Bernie O'Hare actually Bill White?
Bernie O'Hare is actually, "The Great Lin Choi Phoy." The Chinese-American, "Man of 1000 Disguises" who was often hired by world leaders as a double. He gained notoriety when he was recruited from Barnum and Bailey by the NSA and successfully impersonated President Obama at numerous campaign stops in 2012. It's believed he was able to infiltrate and stop the terrorist organization, "Dwarfs For Jihad" by tying his feet to the back of his legs, wearing baggy pants and walking on his knees for 6 months. *The CIA claims no knowledge of his assistance in breaking up that terrorist organization.
The terrorist columnist is on their hate list bc of a piece published yesterday, excoriating both Gregory AND Mezzacappa. Thus far, it is only available on hard copy. Thousands are flocking to the news stands and spending $2.50 for the "early edition" Sunday column. I understand just about every household in West Easton has a copy, along with every woman within a 100-mile radius of Bethlehem. When it goes online, I'll link to it.
Gregory grow up, you little penis boy!
to Bernie, at 12:31 pm, if it is the Bill White column to which you refer, I can mail you a clipping. I didn't think he exactly excoriated them, just pointed out what dangerous-to-themsleves-and-others idiots they are, "more in sadness than in anger."
I have it, and agree that it is more in sadness than anger.
Bernie, at 5:26 -- I fear that someone is going to get hurt before this is all over. The good news is that it will not likely be an innocent bystander, or an associate of either of this pair -- it very likely will be either Mr. JG or Ms. TM. Or both. Voluntary close association with these types can be dangerous to one's health and well-being.
Gregory is in the 98th percentile as tested by Mensa. He is smarter than you, Callahan and the DA all together. He is already three steps ahead of you right now.
You can't keep up Bernie. You go after Gregory but wait, is it Harvey not Gregory or is it?
You can't keep up with whoever is in charge. Gregory gets all the free press. he is already ahead of the game.
The latest posts on WEF make everything clear or do they?
The above is what is on the other blog. It is crazy.
It's the west Easton fool print
Bottomline... she needs a LTCF to get the pistol to City property if she went by car, train, bus or any vehicle... I think even a bicycle. If she walked, that is permissible. Too bad a city officer did not see her get into a car and then ask to see her LTCF. Perhaps she has one? Perhaps she has one from another State that has reciprocity with PA.
Who is Jim Gregory?
a fungus!
I know I am late to this conversation, just wanted to say- I saw Mezz get into a car, with her firearm (which btw- she had 3 extra clips for). She also was dressed highly inappropriately, FOR GOD'S SAKE WOMAN, NO ONE WANTS TO SEE YOUR BRA!! Her Red Polka Dotted shirt was completely see thru!
If you saw her drive the car, I would report this to police. She just broke the law.
If you saw her get into a car with a gun and drive away, you can also call the NC Sheriff's Office to report the matter.
