BERETS AND SHIRTS OF A COLOR Red armies of Easton

I just want to thank both of these dedicated groups for helping my hometown of Easton. I feel better knowing the Guardian Angels are patrolling the troubled area of the West Ward where my 85 year old mother lives.

Some residents should also volunteer to become involved in the city clean up.

The Guardian Angels must be some of the bravest people out there. They walk around Allentown and Easton with nothing but a flashlight and red beret and "snitch," as they say. I truly admire their courage and thank them for all they do!

Yes, is nice that they are here trying to keep things safe. Hopefully they will get a few of the bums off the streets.

But, the fact remains that years ago we had decent people living in Easton and we had little crime. Now the hard working, law abiding Middle Class has mostly died off or moved away, and in their place we now have an army of welfare bums, drug dealers, high school drop outs, and gang bangers. I long for the good old days when Easton was clean, friendly and safe. I am horrified as to what has happened to my once-fine city.

I have lots of admiration for those who are trying to make it a better place. But yes, I have nothing but hatred for the bums who are ruining it for everyone. Drastic times require drastic measures. Having guys with funny berets patrol our streets is fine, but what we really need are mass executions. May the streets run red with the blood of the vermin.

Thank you Guardian Angels!!

The appreciation I have for the Guardian Angels stems from these facts:

They are a "civilian" force.

They mobilize to any area where the local PD needs help, and go unarmed into areas that the police can't/wont cover.

=========

THEY DO WHAT THE CITIZENS OF THESE AREAS SHOULD BE DOING !!!!

WAKE THE F'k UP, EASTON !!!

YOU ARE LUCKY-ENOUGH TO HAVE THE GA's PATROLLING YOUR HOODS, BECAUSE YOUR TOO SCARED AND MEEK TO DO IT YOURSELVES!

The Guardian Angles provide an invaluable service to every area they enter, but ONLY BECAUSE the local police are over their heads, AND the local residents are too SPINELESS to STAND-UP and defend their own neighborhoods.

So God Bless the Guardian Angels, and God Help the cowering hordes of
so-called "citizens" huddled in fear, living in Easton.

guardian angels? wonder how many of them are/were troublemakers? well me like most everyone moved out of easton to the nice ritzy suburbs. what does easton have to offer people????cars vandalized when parked on the street when i can park in my garage in the suburbs. grocey storeS (note the plural form used) wheer i can safely shop in the suburbs at any time i want. come on, the burbs have it.

thank you gaurdian angels for you efforts and helping to make easton safer again you guys have made an impact in the south side here.i noticed a group of gaurdian angels men and women walking threw the alleys that have had so much activities and when you made your presence you ran out the bad group that was doing there dirty deeds. again thank you. more people should get involved with your gaurdian angel patrols.perhaps sal panto should do a walk along sometime with you guys.

Well said Dennis Mack.
Do you know if the founder Curtis Sliwa still has a daytime TV news show?
Also what do they do with the spray bottles? Is that to spray water on dogs to keep them from attacking?

Allentown citizens should also form a group of Guardian Angels to patrol in Allentown.

Welcome Guardian Angels!

the red-shirt-wearing Easton Ambassadors, armed with brooms and spray bottles, emerge from their base in City Hall to clean up litter and help tourists.

Excellent idea to have Sal Panto walk with them on one of their patrols.

allentown had a gaurdian angels chapter and they took a crap due to none loyal leadership unlike eastons chapter who has a well groomed leadership and a well trained group and now has a training program with experts who come there and teach i know one of them who is a member of the easton chapter who has a back round and is a great mentor to the group and he was talking about starting a lehihg valley wide gaurdian chapter who will patrol werever theres a problem. thank you gaurdian angels for you great efforts.

yes south side guy mr panto should give more recognition to the gaurdian angels and do a walk along with them i dont live in easton but my mother does i moved away from thear years ago and reside in allentown and i have met the angels on there patrol and they are some great dedicated people who want to make easton a better place to live again. i hope more people get involved with there group of good dedicated patrols. and thank you mr palmer chief of police for your fine officers who are always supportave to the easton gaurdian angels.

Good job to both groups, having them is a very, very good idea especially the downtown ambassadors, GREAT IDEA! If more citizens took an active part in reporting problems there would be less crime. The problem is that there are a decent amount of scumbags pushing the good people left in easton. Those few good residents that are left have to be active in doing things to improve the neighborhoods that they live in, the police aren't going to do it.

BTW, People of Easton should not rely on Sal Panto to clean things up. This guy is a political loser, PERIOD! He has one interest and that is himself and who he can award city contracts to.

Why do these residents keep electing recycled mayors?? Haven't they learned from their mistakes that it doesn't work?

hmmm...class conscienceness aside, i wouldn't call over-priced housing built to the weakest standards possible "ritzy". nor do i believe building big box comercial structures surrounded by parking on what was once farmland all the glamorous either. the burbs need to prepare for a changing of the tides. it is an unsustainable model of growth and its weaknesses are sure to be seen in time. considering that, one shouldn't cast stones. the health of our urban cores should be of importance to everyone and not reduced to some high school-esque "the burbs are better than the city" mentallity.

I have been making a similar point for years. Easton keeps electing - then re-electing - one loser after another.

great job guys i am glad that you guys are doing your job and this helps out the easton pd and when your patrols are out there we have less work load on our hands.keep up the good job. EPD.
