CANONSBURG, Pa. (KDKA) — A protest is planned for one of the area’s biggest Fourth of July events.
Participants are pulling out of the annual Canonsburg Fourth of July Parade, fearing the planned protest.
“We’re going to shut it down,” Trey Willis Sr. said on his Facebook Live video discussing the protest.
Willis Sr. told KDKA that the demonstration will remain peaceful, but protesters want their voices heard. He expects 100-200 people will join him in protest on the morning of the parade.
“We’re intending to just shed light on the practices coming out of the district attorney’s office,” Willis Sr. said. “The failure to represent certain victims of violent crimes that come from a certain demographic.”
Willis Sr. would not offer specifics on how he plans to shut the parade down.

PA.
It’s what they do. This would not fly in my small town in Central KY. Our town is known for one of the biggest “pull out all the stops” celebration for many counties around. These bozos would be “disappeared” in short order for the duration.
Read the fine print. 1350.
Bunch of snowflakes already pulling out of the parade. Typical, no surprise.
he's a 'grievance hustler' SJW, Al Sharpton wannabe..............
People line up for days staking out a spot from which to watch this parade.
I think any protester who tries to ruin it will be in physical peril.
#Bunch of snowflakes already pulling out of the parade. Typical, no surprise.”
Great, encourage this fool. Instead they should add another entry. The 100 Man Marching Ball Bat Brigade.
Vittone said Willis’ accusations and basis for the protest is likely due to his own recent brush with the law.
“I can tell you the individual just completed a sentence of 4-10 years for a very serious violent crime,” Vittone said. “He was convicted of aggravated assault and robbery. So obviously he doesn’t care for my office very much.”
The Canonsburg Police Department posted on Facebook saying that they are aware of the planned demonstration and are planning diligently.
Washington County District Attorney Eugene Vittone is the spokesperson here. Willis is a race card player with a long and sorry history.
So this bitter ex-con wants to ruin the 4th for everybody.
Just for posting such threats to the public, he should be eligible for more jail time. I hate to profile, but sometimes there is good reason to do so. Look at all the neck tattoos he’s got. Just another self-styled troublemaker who enjoys chaos.
“..Canonsburg Police Department ...”
Hopefully, they will deal with this clown appropriately if he gets out of line.
He has a right to protest, peacefully. He does NOT have a right to interfere with OTHER people celebrating.
The AMERICAN people of Canonsburg ALSO have the Right to have their AMERICAN Parade and NOT have it “shut down” or interrupted, impeded, in any way.
If this assclown wants to get froggy, well, hopefully there will be painful consequences to it for him. Would be an awful shame if some Americans decided to teach him a lesson in manners, civility, and respect for other peoples’ rights.
Perry Como and Bobby Vinton came from Canonsburg. I did not realize this, but Wikipedia says their Fourth of July parade is 2nd only to Philly’s (in Pennsylvania).
Too bad that “wooden shampoos” are out of style.
RE Wooden Shampoo:
Depends on the behavior of the shampoo-ee, I’d say.
And an obviously violent criminal. And a loser. He also sounds like a big talker.
200 Amish might be peaceful. 200 "Amish" will NOT be.
