"Marcus Hook mayor under investigation over gun incident,” a Saturday Philly.com report revealed.
“The mayor of tiny Marcus Hook, who just last year was a guest at the President's State of the Union address, is under investigation for allegedly shooting a gun in his house and giving alcohol to a 20-year-old whom he threatened to hold hostage,” the report continues.
On top of that, the report says Mayor James D. Schiliro “ordered a borough police officer to pick up the 20-year-old, who was at a friend's home, in a police vehicle and bring him to Schiliro's home.” What his authority is for ordering the use of public resources by public personnel on what appears to be a personal matter is not stated.
While allegations that Schiliro waved three handguns around, put one to his head saying he didn’t want to live any more, and made a hostage threat may be difficult to prove beyond a reasonable doubt, the accusation that he fired his gun into the floor is substantially supported by police removing from the premises “a spent projectile, a section of wood with two holes [and] three 9mm bullets.”

The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Supports my theory that the democrat belief that people can’t be trusted with guns is just a case of projection.
Have the police confiscated his arms yet?
Some liberals should be outlawed from owning firearms.
If liberals didn’t have guns, I bet we would see a 90% reduction in gun violence/crime.
***Big Misunderstanding Alert**
Schiliro, a Republican, ran in the 2012 election for Pennsylvania House District 159 and lost to longtime Democratic incumbent Thaddeus Kirkland.
Last year he was the guest of U.S. Rep. Patrick Meehan (R., Pa.) at the State of the Union to represent those workers and communities affected by the Sunoco and ConocoPhillips refinery closures.
Sounds like a perfect Obama/Bloomberg stooge.
Absolutely.
Whoops! Here in Illinois many Dems run as GOP. Perhaps he’s a switch hitter?
Bump
Doesn’t say if he had a Big Gulp there.
A Bloomturd “republican”.
It proves that if liberals weren’t allowed to have guns, gun violence would decrease.
As for the cops, we’re in trouble. An intelligent cop would have advised the mayor his request was unconstitutional. But the cops up against us have no idea what the constitution says and don’t care because they love the power.
