Burning Down the House

Latest in series of Pa. fires claims 15 homes

Coatesville hits the national stage!!! Probably not how they wanted to be known but the big time none the less. I really find it hard to believe that the city, county, and state can't crack down on the lawlessness going on out in the wild west.

pretty sad, that Chester County is hitting the National Stage, by showcasing Coatesville.

I can't imagine this happening in Phoenixville. First of all I am saddened at the devastation, the total disregard for the people of Coatesville. Secondly I am discouraged with the obvious lack of leadership in this community. 12 months of arsons went by, and it appears that only this escalation in the last month has gotten action in the form of meetings and declaring a state of emergency. Asking the potential victims to clean up and put lights out is like asking a potential rape victim to wear a coat and remove her makeup. How about seriously beefing up the security/ protection in the area? Why would they hesitate in enforcing a curfew or enlisting National Guardsmen, etc to assist them? Someone is burning their town to the ground!
