Reply to comment by RedModsSuck in Zappala threatens to keep Kennywood from opening if it doesn't comply with security demands by cooldude_4000
Could you cite the law being violated when a private business doesn't implement a policy change the DA of a county recommended to them?
Do you also think that Zappalla could shutdown his local Giant Eagle because they refused to carry his favorite brand of chips after he requested they do so?

I'm also confused why the DAs office would have jurisdiction here.
Their job is to prosecute crime. Is not implementing whatever policy recommendations the DA has for a private business a crime now? Under what grounds is he going to get a court order for closure? The grounds that he just kinda is annoyed at them? I'm seriously at a lost what crime the park could possible be committing.

He might think he's doing that, admittedly. But over in the reality the "fuck Kennywood" vote block in the county is really small.
There is no constituency of any size looking for local politicians to shut down Kennywood. Meanwhile, the constituency of people who'd get pissed off is quite real.

You seriously don't find it a weeee bit coincidental that this timeline just so happened to lead to the big news grabbing headline of a press conference like 48 hours after his office was busted for playing political games with prosecution decisions?
I mean. Let's flip this around. Is there any particular reason this press conference couldn't have happened next week either?
And finally. He makes official decisions based off politics so god damn regularly that his staff felt comfortable telling a Jude that is what they are doing in some casual side comments. Why should we not assume that this is a political decision as well?

This is a really twisted and non-standard usage of "law enforcement". His purpose is to prosecute crimes. No police officer is supposed to answer to him professionally. Quite the contrary, the police are supposed to be independent of the prosecutors and investigate suspected criminal cases without bias while the prosecutor is by definition in an adversarial role. The shitty thing is when police and the DA's office see themselves as partners which is where all kinds of problems crop up.

— Most of (if not all) of their cars are rentals/leases from LW Automotive in McCandless on 19. You can drive by at anytime and see the exact cars that are featured in the videos/and or the agents claim they “own”.

Celina Pompeani from Kdka/Pittsburgh today live frequents with Simon at penguins games…they did a short segment with him back around Christmas time on PTL where Simon, victory church in cranberry teamed up to give a woman some shitty house way out in Verona as a gift.

> I think the bigger issue is he's not law enforcement
You have a serious misunderstanding of law enforcement in the state. He is the chief law enforcement officer in the county.

no, kennywood started this mess by doing those season passes so now the park is filled with unsupervised teenagers and its not a place you would actually want to go unless you are a teenager.

I mean I haven’t tasted their winning competition pizza, but it seems extremely disingenuous for them to make that claim in advertisements if they are serving something completely different.

Agree. Went to the one on Liberty when I worked at WPH. One of the worst pizzas I’ve ever had.

Not at all; it just hit me weird that he was naming this demographic in the same way a pollster might name "professional women over age 35". I just thought it was an unusual combination of traits to identify a group with. I dunno, looking at it again, maybe it wasn't him, maybe it was me.
