The neighborhood Charlie Brown is at it again. While many in the town are enjoying AAABA week, Charlie is out videoing the neighbors and alleging misdeeds on their part.
As a bit of background, years back Charlie thought he could claim a so-called paper alley as his own and lost, repeatedly, in the attempt. Charlie believed he knew the law better than the judges. Predictably, they did not agree.
Charlie’s response to his legal beatdown was to become an even larger pain in the behind.
When your life’s work is to be a human hemorrhoid and you hit that goal, should you really be proud? Charlie seems to be.
Charlie likes to intimidate women and rush to social media to claim victimhood. Why’s everybody always pickin’ on me?
His tools are profane language, a “planter” festooned with obscenities that he conveniently places across the street from people he does not like, and his ever-present video device.
Charlie once proudly boasted on social media that I was afraid to face him man to man. I showed up at a Southmont Borough council meeting to remedy that and to assure him there was no fear. Charlie had little to say face-to-face, other than I was a good writer.
That didn’t get posted online by video boy; imagine that.
Charlie also misstated some facts in a brief conversation we had at the meeting.
Charlie would fit well in the current Democrat party, always lining up on the 10- to 20-percent side of issues. He loudly cites his First Amendment rights, but fails to recognize others have rights, too.
These days, Charlie apparently is strolling the streets and alleys, trying to goad the upstanding citizens into disputes that he can video and post online, perhaps desperately seeking to procure a few bucks.
I’ve been made aware that one of these video postings from Charlie involved my house and a vehicle parked behind it under a car cover.
Charlie wondered aloud if it were a Corvette, if it were duly licensed and insured, and generally if it was violating borough ordinances by being parked there – on a gravel pull-off area, not in the grass, by the way.
So, Charlie, here are your answers: It is a Corvette, yes it is registered and insured, and no, I’m not violating borough ordinances by having it parked on my property under a car cover.
Now, Charlie, is the quasi-junkyard of vehicles parked around your family hovel all street legal?
I’m betting no on that, not that I expect you to be forthcoming with answers. Frankly, if I were you, I wouldn’t be admitting to reality, either.
But, I hope you do scrape together a few dollars with your online video gig, allowing you to buy some much-needed testosterone.
