Will Mezzacappa Open Carry at Bethlehem City Council?

My Bethlehem Press colleague, Dana Grubb, is a great photographer. I've had an opportunity to work with him twice now, at high school graduations and am always amazed at his work. He's really an artist, much like blogger Michael Molovinsky or some of the people who take pictures for The Morning Call and Express Times. They are a special breed whose work at a public event might tell you more than the most carefully crafted story. But they keep no secrets, and are always willing to help out someone like me. For all his kindness, I have repaid Dana by getting him on Tricia Mezzacappa's hit list. Let me tell you the story.

On July 4, Tricia Mezzacappa took a break from bashing Jim Gregory's ex-girlfriend and came armed to Christmas City. She was there for a reading of the Declaration of Independence at Payrow Plaza. Hey, we all know how dangerous it is in that part of town. Although there were plenty of Republicans there, a library and church is in the vicinity. She could run into those damn Moravians, and they might invite her to one of their so-called love feasts. So she came prepared.

Dana was at this event, too, taking pictures for The Bethlehem Press. I was home, having overslept Nazareth's kazoo parade for the second year straight. I received three phone calls and texts from people at Payrow Plaza.

One of them sent me pictures.

When Mezzacappa later saw those pictures posted on my blog, she put two and two together and came up with five. She assumed Dana must have taken those pictures, even though I actually have a picture that includes both her and him. Next thing I know, she is attacking both Dana and some dude who reeked of weed.

That dude was actually Towelie.

Mezzacappa complains,

"I was unlawfully accosted and illegally detained by some punk in a yellow shirt and long hair [Towelie], 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.

"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. ... "

After this, Mezzacappa sent my editor an email, complaining about Grubb, suggesting that he dump us both. Morning Call terrorist columnist Bill White has a copy, which he probably got from Obama or Kelly Gross.

According to White, Grube denies having ever met Mezzacappa or having interaction with her. But not being an award-winning broadcast journalist like me, White never spoke to Towelie. He tells me he was at the event, "helpin' people out with towel safety and proper towel use. It's important!"

"Wanna' get high?"

He can't remember what he said to Mezzacappa. In fact, he can't remember what he had for breakfast.

"Wanna get high?"

Mezzacappa, who is currently suing the District Attorney to force him to file charges against one of her admitted personal enemies, intends to be at Bethlehem City Council tonight.

"Stalking is legal for the untouchables, and Mr. Dana Grubb ( one of them) and Officer Peacock ( a lazy gun hating loser) will be the subject of courtesy of the floor at the next City of Bethlehem Council meeting."

In addition to Dana Grubb and Towelie, Mezzacappa also intends to complain about a Bethlehem police officer.

Will she come to the meeting armed? Will she be driving Jim Gregory's red camaro?

Stay tuned.
