Alright. So the guy who regularly and routinely orders his staff to make prosecution decisions based around what he thinks will help him politically totally by coincidence happened to have a big news story he thinks will help him politically within 24 hours of being caught up in a major ethics scandal.

And you are sticking to that story.

Alright then. Oh hey. As a side note. I have a great investment opportunity for you. It's this bridge in Brooklyn. Send me a private message and I'll get you a quote. My price is extremely fair for such a great bridge.

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?

It would appear that way. Or maybe as a political statement.

But yeah. Google actual superfund site warning signs. They don't look like this at all, and obviously the phone number goes to a federal agency and not the mayor of Pittsburgh.

Why would that be the case? They are two seperate tunnels. An emergency in one does not mean there will be an emergency in the other.

And even if that was the case and we are worried about the extreme emergencies that could hop tunnels. (I suppose, terroristic or foriegn attack) why would the hypothetical pedestrian tunnel be safe when the two main ones aren't?

It is kinda funny to think the tunnel staff and emergency services would just let traffic continue on as normal through the second tunnel as they use it as an evacuation route.

Tunnel guy screaming over the noise at an evacuating motorist "so sorry sir, it's the Tuesday special at olive garden! We need to keep these people moving! Try to stick close to the walls!"
