[ ] Katsuo Clark of Bensalem allegedly threatened Pa. state Sen. Tommy Tomlinson, R-6 and Bensalem Mayor Joseph DiGirolamo earlier this month…with a cap gun and hunting knife. (Courier Times)
From the story:
Clark allegedly told the senator to look under the office's couch cushions to see what he was capable of doing. Then he left Tomlinson's office. Tomlinson went through the couch and told police he found a large hunting knife and a cap gun under the cushions1.
…
It all started on the morning of Feb. 152, according to police. Clark went to the township municipal building to demand a meeting with the Republican mayor. But DiGirolamo, 69, was attending an event on Bristol Pike.
Clark allegedly went there3 and found DiGirolamo. Clark told the mayor that he's unemployed and frustrated that the mayor can't help him, according to court documents.
Bensalem Public Safety Director Fred Harran4 declined to comment on the specifics of the case. In fact, Harran did not publicize the charges against Clark in the police department's daily press releases to the media because he said he's concerned about the possibility of “copycat” crimes5.
“I didn't want to comment on security issues knowing this would start a media frenzy,” Harran said Wednesday morning.
1- That’s some couch: All we ever find is the remote, a cheese doodle or two and some loose change.
2- When?
3- We never thought about asking the mayor to help us find a job, but may we suggest that Mr. Clark seems to be a solid candidate to collect any unpaid Bensalem taxes; dude is persistent as hell.
4- This guy does have a tough job: There’s Hooters, the casino, the influx of cougars from upper Bucks every Sunday and the constant road rage from people wondering who in the fuck planned the road network around Route 1.
5- Good Lord! He’s right…people might just arm themselves with cap guns and hunting knives and head out in search of…wait, media what?...OMG, it’s just like Charlie said..

The alleged attacking groups are the 229 Brigade and the Pink Army…The Pink Army better do something fierce – like, say, wearing black with Navy or using their salad fork to eat their tuna steak – before they issue a threat to do any-fucking-thing.
