Allentown Dem Operative Ed DeGrace Charged With Harassment

Ed DisGrace
Allentown Democratic operative Ed "DisGrace" DeGrace has been charged with summary harassment over a punch he threw a few weeks ago. Amazingly, the victim is another Democrat.

Tom Osborne, who is as blue as they come, while sitting in his car with his grandson, told police that DisGrace popped him. They declined to fie charges because DeGrace denied anything had happened. The Lehigh County DA, however, approved a private complaint for summary harassment when several witnesses claimed that DeGrace had bragged about it.

The penalty for summary harassment is usually a small fine of up to $300.

Ed "Disgrace" DeGrace is a goon who used threats, intimidation and profanity to silence anyone who dares criticize Allentown Mayor Edwin Pawlowski. He has the distinction of being the first anonymous troll I ever outed, way back in 2008. That has made no difference in his behavior. He's also the man behind a $8,000 illegal contribution to Fed Ed's first mayoral run in 2005. He chaired the PAC which donated this money, but has never filed a report indicating where he got his money.

He tried to intimidate me at a campaign rally for now Supreme Court Justice Kevin Dougherty and during the summary trial of a teacher who convinced Allentown students to boycott class. On both occasions, he made a fool out of himself.

Despite his sordid reputation, Ce-Ce Gerlach was only too happy to use him in her Allentown City Council race, and even complimented him on Facebook.

His summary trial is scheduled for July 9, 2:30 pm, before Magisterial District Judge Ronald S Manescu.

I'll be there.

  5. Lehigh Valley for All - the outfit with the pic of the guy in NYC on the home page? Sure looks local to me. Is this another outfit funded by out of state money to tell us what's best for us?

  6. Ed DeGrace and Lehigh Valley For All will make a significant improvement in the Democratic Party in Allentown in the next few years, whether you like Mr. DeGrace personally or not.

  11. LV4A has very little money, most of their meager funds are obtained through membership dues paid by local members

  13. I was at the Lehigh Valley For All anti-gun rally in Allentown. It was a great Allentown event.
    It’s time to do another rally like this in front of that night club where all the people were shot.
    Now is not the time to be divisive.
    We Democrats must show unity and not fight among ourselves.

  16. Ed DeGrace has been a tireless Democratic Party activist in the Lehigh Valley.
    This is an attempt to smear and discredit a party leader who has truly been working for years to make the Lehigh Valley a place for all.
    Support Ed DeGrace, and vote blue no matter who.

  17. Ed DeGrace is a hero.

  18. "This is an attempt to smear and discredit a party leader..."

    This is laughable. The only person who is smearing and discrediting this guy is himself.

  19. THE TRUTH!!!

    On Monday March 11, 2019 at approximately 2:30 – 3:00 pm after picking up his Grandson, Tom stopped at his home in Allentown to pick up a few items he had forgotten. Considering parking is always difficult, he needed to park up the street closer to Liberty Street. After retrieving the items he and his grandson got back into the car and started on the way to take his grandson home. Rather than driving down the Street, he turned left into the alley (Early Street) heading West in the alley. As he approached Muhlenberg Street, he noticed a car parked perpendicular in the alley in front of him, blocking the alley. As he approached Muhlenberg Street he realized that the car belonged to Mr. Ed DE grace and also noticed Mr. DE grace charging toward his car yelling obscenities and racial slang terms at me!! Mr. DE grace yelled “Fuckin Cracker and Fuckin Harp” at him a number of times and Tom was disgusted considering his 4 year old grandson was in the back seat.
    As Mr. DE grace approached the driver side of the car, as Tom was sitting in the car, Tom inquired “what is wrong”? With that Mr. DE grace took a swipe towards his face in the car and knocked a lite cigarette out of his mouth. Tom leaned down to pick up the cigarette and as he raised his head Mr. DE grace unprovoked punched him twice on his chin near his mouth. Needless to say he was shocked!!!
    Mr. DE grace was yelling like a mad man “that Tom should not be talking about his wife using vulgar terms”. After he punched Tom, Ed said to Tom “maybe this will keep your mouth shut “To be honest Tom was unaware that Mr. DE grace was still married nor was he aware of which wife Mr. DE grace was referring to? Tom met his 3rd wife twice, once when they crashed their Neighborhood Block party and another time when they stopped in front of Tom's house. So Tom had not a clue what Mr. DE grace was referring to!!
    What kind of person would do such a thing? A thug or a person who is mentally deranged!!!!

  20. There is a whole lot more to this story.

  21. This is fallout from the battle for control of the Democratic Party in Allentown and Lehigh County.

    Stand by, more to come.

  22. ”This is completely false, there is no "Allentown chapter" of Lehigh Valley for All - those folks run out of Bethlehem, and this guy isn't running any of it”

    I have no regard for Lehigh Valley For All Who Agree With Them, but it is a real disservice to spew disinformation about any group. I question whether any group would want DeGrace.Ce-Ce Gerlach is well aware he is a piece of shit and used him and even complimented him. What does that say about her?

    ReplyDelete
  23. Boy oh boy is this about to open a can of worms about Democratic Party politics and race in Lehigh County.
    Fasten your seatbelts.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Apparently Democratic Party political front groups run out of Bethlehem like ROAR and LHi Valley for All don’t include POC from Allentown.
    What does Rev. Edwards have to say about about these groups “run out of Bethlehem”.

  34. The that photo was taken during one of his intimidation attempts. On both occasions, he made a fool out of himself. Everyone knows what he is like, so why did CeCe Gerlach use him?Why did she compliment him?

    ReplyDelete
  35. Fact: Ed DeGrace remains a significant player in Democratic Party politics.
    Pretending otherwise is silly.

  48. Just bringing this back. DeGrace is still running his mouth around town about this incident. I’ve personally heard him talking about shooting “that mf-er” as well as throw out rude things about white people. His Facebook is public too, the fact he’s allowed to work with kids at St Thomas Moore is pretty disgusting.
