Being a Penn Charter alumni, I can assure everyone that a financial assault on a Philly Quaker will not go unanswered in a meaningful way. They may preach non-violence of the gun and fist, but of the wallet they will respond.
I guess they skipped the giant, inflatable rat and went straight for torching the place.
They should have taken a page from the Amish and built it themselves.
These union thugs in PA deserve life in prison without parole - as an absolute minimum. All violent unions, and in fact most unions today, deserve to be boycotted, any members who participate for any reason other than fear should be shunned by decent people, and their violent thugs must be met with more efficient violence. We are in a war between good and evil, and the unions have lined up with Obama and the far left against free Americans.
They were fully insured. Obviously, not stupid.
These greedy, self-important brutish thugs need to face something they understand - the barrels of a few guns.
If these asses hadn’t already ruined the site wholesale, I’d say set the rat traps all over next.
While the Quakers could build the project themselves, my bet is that the union’s “friends” in city hall would make that impossible by requiring only licensed contractors do the work, extra inspections, payoffs etc.
That’s the other good thing about the Amish method. It’s all done in one day, so by the time the inspectors get their lazy butts out there, they are too late to stop it :)
This was an outrageous story . . . I’m amazed to the extent to which union thugs still get away with violence and intimidation in order to get their way, and some putz like Chris Matthews or that Ed Schultz wax romantic over the union boys.
The whole building was shut for two days until the appeal to the state told this guy that such a license wasn't needed for painting.
Never let the building inspectors in, they’re just shakedown artists. Lock the doors, draw the blinds, and turn off the lights. Make them leave and try to get the cops to come back with them, and meanwhile, get the job done and hide the evidence.
BWAHAHAHAHAH! You've never lived in Philthydelphia.
Coach, the Quakers have devolved into a typically leftist, Democrat-loving group through their anti-war pacifism and history of opposing those who defend our country and all that goes with military readiness. They have long populated anti-war demonstrations, etc. Save your sympathy for people who have not been sleeping with the enemies of freedom.
Nah, I live in Chicago. What’s the difference?
You can’t just ignore Licensing & Inspection in Philadelphia; and as in many locations, if you build it and they decide for any reason it doesn’t comply, they can make you tear it down rather than get by without their involvement.
Sure, for new buildings that is true. However for rehab, like the one fellow was talking about, there’s really not much they can do once the job is done.
Very true. NEVER send one’s children to a Quaker school. They make public school indoctrination seem right wing.
You said you don't live in Philadelphia. You have no experience of how Philadelphia licensing is done. You are mistaken in your assumption, but you're positive of your opinion even though yours truly has developed several properties in Philadelphia. My guess is that you really don't even know the law in Chicago, where you claim to live. If you were rehabbing a building, that brand of self-assurance could be costly.
