My County Saddens Me

[Perknose]

Bucks Co. Among Those With Most Capitol Riot Arrests In Country

Bucks County is tied with Los Angeles County and Franklin County, Ohio, as having the highest number of people arrested in the Capitol siege

patch.com

"The four people charged from Bucks County include: Dawn Bancroft, owner of a Cross Fit gym in Plumstead Township; Raechel Genco, a 38-year-old woman from Bristol Borough; Ryan Stephen Samsel, a 37-year-old Bristol man and Genco's boyfriend, who is accused of assaulting a police officer; and Diana Santos-Smith, of Doylestown."

Bristol is in "lower" Bucks County and has a far different demographic from where I live. But, Sweet Jeebus, I live in Plumsteadville in Plumstead Township, which is 4-5 minutes from the adjoining Doylestown. The Low Information Yahoos . . . they walk among us!

Sometimes sad turns to tragic. One of those mental defectives got killed in the Capital assault. That can happen to people whose insanity becomes a threat to the lives of other people.

That is a very unfortunate place for a grammatical error.

So is Bucks County in the area the rest of the state refers to as “Pennsyltucky”??

You can thank Murica's education system and conservative politicians.

No. It's a direct suburb of Philadelphia. Many like me have fled the shithole that is Philadelphia and moved to it's neighboring county. I am in a much better place....but just about any other county in PA is better than Philly.

More or less this. Lower Bucks is a Philly adjacent semi-shithole. Middle Bucks is classic Bucks paradise, quickly being encroached on with development. Upper Bucks is a mix of true unspoiled "paradise" then shading into unreconstructed rural YahooStan.

These are your neighbors.


These are your neighbors on Dope.

Well put. Bensalem, Bristol, Levittown (Lower Bucks) are Philly-lite.

Edit: adding more to address the OP: Bucks has people in it the go across the political spectrum. It's ashame to see idiots from the area participate in the Capitol riots.

I saw the thread title to the tune of "My country tis of thee"
I tried to run with the lyrics but could not be arsed. It's been a hell of a week.

My county saddens me
Weep for democracy
My county sucks

It sucks so far and wide
I simply can't abide
My stupid countryside
My county. Bucks.

Fuckin perfect.

Yep, I read it like that too.

On come on people..... seriously, wouldn't you just love to engage in all out war against those morons who have no respect for our government and attack our institutions? To have a turkey shoot or like shooting fish in a barrel? Would be so interesting in a civil war environment to see who would survive. To see who COULD survive. Obviously, you can never talk any sense into these people, that would be like taming a mad rabid dog. No, the only real solution would be an all out war where one side survives and the other ridden forever. Talk about THE HUNT and the joy of the kill. Oh well... just wishful thinking I guess.

 

[Lost_in_the_HTTP]

My 'wishful thinking' is that they be prosecuted, convicted and jailed for life, where they can live out their days fully dependent on the Government they hate.

Neither of the above is acceptable. I don't want anyone to die or be imprisoned for a long time. It is not what our country and ideals represent. It's not what veterans died for.
My dad told me about war, and no, there is no part of me that wants to go to war inside our country.
We've suffered the ignorant and misinformed since the very beginning. Sure, they are a huge drag on progress. We make progress by dint of our collective good works and push back those who are stuck in the ruts of ignorance and hatred.
We as a country cannot continue locking up masses of people, look at the war on (people of color) Drugs.

 

[Thump553]

On the positive side, it's only a short drive from Bucks County to DC. Those predisposed to be Trump's soldiers in Bucks County were far more likely to show up than the same sort of person living in Wyoming.

 

[skyking]

^ truth right there. A cluster of stupid fucks must exist there. I'll shorten that to a clusterfuck.

I think judging the participants too harshly is a mistake. They're highly suggestible people who've been relentlessly propagandized for a very long while. OTOH, insurrection against our duly elected govt can't be tolerated. Justice demands that they experience some pain, even the ones who merely entered the Capitol at the time. The people who inspired them are another matter entirely.

It's not like the WoD, at all, where tens of millions have been locked up over the last 50 years. It's apples & aardvarks. Of the 74M Americans who voted for Trump, only 10K or so showed up at the rally & maybe 1000 actually trespassed the Capitol building. It's unfortunate, but the latter really need some kind of attitude adjustment. Trump, Rudy, Junior, Mo & some others belong in prison.
