another case of animal saviors are animal abusers?

A friend of mine sent me a news report and a Facebook post from an animal rescue this morning. It blew me away and made me want to throw up at the same time.

At the end of May, the news in the region was filled with the horrible site of a barn, full of animals in Montgomery County, up in flames. It was known as House of Wiggle.

We all shared the articles and the GoFundMe raising money for the injured animals and family affected. The GoFundMe is up still and active.

https://gofund.me/2a2e84e7

The problem is the owner of this sanctuary or rescue or whatever the heck it was has just been charged with felony animal abuse.

For real.

Of course, a couple of weeks ago the person doing the GoFundMe had to put up a defend post because I guess things were starting to circulate?

Yeah so wonder what this Shaina thinks now?

https://www.facebook.com/share/p/15k4dGgbM3/

I just don’t understand animal abuse. And these people have a lot of children as well as per the wife’s testimony in 2024:

The testimony says 11 children, and implies some special needs, are they OK? What happens to any animals on this farm now?

I guess I am incredulous to an extent of the amount of media coverage that these people got after their fire and now they’re facing a whole other level of public scrutiny, aren’t they?

https://patch.com/pennsylvania/lowerprovidence/fire-hits-farm-animal-sanctuary-montgomery-county

So they said the cause of the fire was electrical, which is not unusual in old barns is it?

https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/philadelphia/news/house-of-wiggle-goats-animal-rescue-fire-montgomery-county/

But again, disbelief.How could they? How could they do this? How could they take money from people after this fire knowing how they treated the animals?

I guess once again this is a case of know your rescue?

This is horrible and tragically sad.

It looks like all the social media accounts for this rescue have disappeared.

police back at krebs house in east whiteland this afternoon

So we still don’t know really why, but law-enforcement had a play date at the Kreb’s house in East Whiteland again today on Conestoga Road. I have been told that today’s visit were the Chester County Detectives.

We first noticed earlier this afternoon this notice on East Whiteland‘s Facebook page:

Then this showed up as an update:

6ABC was out at the scene and I caught it on the 5 PM news. I don’t know if anyone else is covering this or not so I know residents are grateful for 6 ABC being there. more importantly residents are very grateful in East Whiteland for law enforcement and their handling of this. It has been a little unsettling for residents near that house, which is understandable.

Kevin Krebs has TWO separate court dates coming up.

https://ujsportal.pacourts.us/Report/MdjDocketSheet?docketNumber=MJ-15401-CR-0000163-2025&dnh=V9anssomRR3EPv2Ei3Sddg%3D%3D

https://ujsportal.pacourts.us/Report/MdjDocketSheet?docketNumber=MJ-15104-CR-0000125-2025&dnh=8noIvGulk6ZZlDUl5i5umA%3D%3D

I still haven’t seen anything posted to state whether or not Mr. Krebs will be facing Federal charges as well since the media reports also report the involvement of Federal law-enforcement agencies.

I wouldn’t be surprised if there was more media on this. And when I listened to the 6ABC reporter, I was somewhat gob smacked at the number of guns that the family turned in to law-enforcement that belonged to this man.

Also a related issue is I am sure we would all like to know why West Chester Borough Councilmen Bernie Flynn and Brian McGinnis allowed the Mayor of Downingtown to speak at a June meeting, but did not allow West Goshen Sunshine to ask a couple of simple questions?

West Goshen Sunshine attended this public meeting and got up and tried to speak at public comment to inquire as to the timeline of events at the No Kings Rally. She was interested in when Mr. Krebs was detained and arrested, and where that was in the whole scheme of the event that day. She also wondered when elected officials and event organizers were told about this?

Allow me to quote her:

The irony is hard to ignore: in the same town that held a “No Kings” rally, I was silenced at the Borough of West Chester meeting last night. Councilmen Bernie Flynn and Brian McGinnis have clearly crowned themselves gatekeepers of free speech–deciding who gets to speak and who doesn’t. That’s not leadership. That’s arrogance.

Fortunately, not every official in West Chester in as bombastic as Flynn and McGinnis.

https://www.dailylocal.com/2025/06/18/mayor-council-thank-police-for-response-at-no-kings-rally/ West Chester Borough Police Department

Edit Council member Nicole Scimone tried to let me speak but was drowned out by Flynn and McGinnis even though she was presiding over the meeting. Thanks for trying Nicole Scimone!

West Goshen Sunshine is well spoken and polite. I am appalled, but not necessarily surprised by the behavior of these two gentlemen in West Chester Borough.

I am not some Luddite, and I understand there are certain things the public are not going to be privy to at this stage of an investigation, and the same goes for West Goshen Sunshine. However, lots of people want to know what the timeline is for notification concerning this incident. Let’s face it if someone hadn’t blown up the original social media video so that we all saw it , how long would it have been before we knew this incident even happened?

I have felt since this happened that politics, not necessarily law enforcement tried to keep a lid on this.

Now to me, it would’ve made sense that the event organizers wanted everything to remain calm that day, because face it if lots and lots of people there on that day had known they just arrested a man with weapons it might have been chaos. And law enforcement did a tremendous job in a huge crowd.

However, I also wonder if politics kept this from getting out until that social media video from TikTok or whatever was released everywhere so we all saw it? And along those lines until people like myself and others started publicly thanking law enforcement, it seems like a lot of politicians weren’t.

Law enforcement has been amazing through this.

Anyway, if you listen to the media reports, it looks like there was at least one more weapon seized today and computers and who knows what else. People are still asking questions like was Krebs egged on by some group or something like that or did he always act alone on his own?

This has been a sad and scary situation. I hope that as Krebs has been a guest of the county that he has perhaps been getting mental health treatment? Because anyway you slice it, what almost happened that day and what they found in his house after that is not the act of a rational human being.

RESOLVED: west whiteland police are dealing with a situation

UPDATE: situation is resolved, and no one was hurt as per my information.

Wherever Southern Drive is, other than West Whiteland Township, please stay out of the area and if you are in the area stay in your homes, there is serious police activity, and an emergency alert went out that is the equivalent of a shelter in place. My late father always said crazy things happen in extreme heat. Please be careful everyone.

what didn’t happen should be celebrated by west chester…and beyond.

Screenshot

We have seen this scene of the opening screenshot so many times now. It’s captured in time. It’s a tragedy that didn’t happen, but could have.

The law enforcement, a lot of whom were local, did an amazing job. There are people who went to the protest who have sort of fluffed this off as not being a big deal, and they need to get their head out of their asses because it could’ve been a very big deal. It could have been horrible beyond imagination here in our corner of the world.

And while I have seen article after article and TV story after TV story, talking about the perpetrator and what he was carrying, and then last evening they conducted a search of his house and found more things, but I haven’t had to read about, and I think there should be some public officials standing up and really praising those who keep us safe in our communities.

Law enforcement was simply amazing here. It might be their jobs, but they are heroes.

So you have from the date of the protest which was Saturday, June 14th, West Chester Borough Police Department, Chester County Sheriffs office, FBI. Then yesterday add East Whiteland Police Department, the county and a bomb squad, which would be the one from Montgomery County that Chester County has access to – they serve Montgomery , Chester and I think Bucks Counties. I think they are then part of a larger task force, so after things were discovered where the man originally arrested from Saturday lives, who knows who all else was there, which had to include ATF at this point and Chester County Detectives and more.

My point is all of this law enforcement did this smoothly and by the book, avoided serious catastrophe, death, injuries, mass panic and where please are the elected officials? One would have thought a presser would have at least occurred by yesterday given maybe by Mayor Lillian DeBaptiste of West Chester Borough and perhaps the Chester County Commissioners, since this happened literally in the county seat with say a backdrop of the Old County Courthouse or in front of the Chester County Justice Center thanking these brave law enforcement folks for living their training so excellently, right? But where is it?

Where is the Governor of Pennsylvania or State Senators and State Representatives serving the area, including East Whiteland where the defendant lives praising law enforcement for doing something so amazing and preventing catastrophe that you quite frankly don’t see enough do you?

Law enforcement on any level doesn’t do their job for glory, it’s what they are trained to do. But people need to say thank you, and what their actions has averted and by “people”, I mean elected officials. On the TV interviews every day residents and people are all saying thank you, but where are those folks elected to public office and I do not mean local supervisors and borough officials because they do say thank you. I mean the state, county, and higher.

I am saying thank you but I am just a blogger. So time to step it up officials, as our men and women in our corner of the world have done something amazing.

Now onto other things. The accused as far as I can tell is still out on bail and one of the TV reports said his whereabouts are unknown, which after all that has happened is not comforting. I was told he made bail because bond was posted. It was high bail ($250,000), it was made. We don’t have to be comfortable with this, but that is the system, and maybe for certain kinds of arrests, the system needs to change? I don’t have those answers.

Then people are talking about why his house wasn’t searched completely after Saturday? Again, from what we can tell from media reports, law enforcement at first only had a warrant to search his personal space with the home, his bedroom I guess? It is not solely his home, and public records show the home is owned by family member, probably parents? And from the 6ABC report Leland Pinder did last evening where the accused’s brother was interviewed, it is in fact a family home so they would have had to have obtained a second warrant to search the whole house as far as my research would indicate.

Then as to the gotcha armchair warriors on social media talking about the accused’s 2nd Amendment rights, the answer is pretty clear: no concealed carry permit. Take a gun safety glass, it’s one of the things people are taught. This will undoubtedly raise a back and forth on guns in this area again, but the thing is this: there needs to be better mental health requirements surrounding gun ownership. And for things like this when people are out on bail, would it be the worst thing to have the people accused of things like this to be on ankle monitors?

For sure, this sequence of events has indeed shaken Chester County and various municipalities up. But let’s take a moment to THANK law enforcement for what they have done with no loss of life, etc. It’s remarkable in today’s world.

Thanks for stopping by.

can someone explain what happened in west chester yesterday?

Allow me to preface what I am about to show you with this was a public post. It was sent to me then I found it and all little 🌎 globe meaning all public. I’m not infringing upon anyone’s copyright and you can see who posted it. I do not know if the same person who posted it was the same person who took the video.

Now I can answer that question above for this woman whom I don’t know about no media reports yet, and I will say based upon what she posts, her political views in the majority are completely different from mine. And that’s fine, to each their own, but she’s not wrong in questioning was this guy planning.

Now back to her asking why no media picked it up so far. That’s a simple answer because there are two reporters for the Daily Local. One does courts and crime, and the other does more generalized stories and has occasional overlap with the aforementioned crime reporter. But people, as far as a local paper, that’s it for the entire county. The paper is owned by a hedge fund that owns a mash up of a bunch of other local papers, and they miss a lot. Simply put, all of what is left of these local papers are lacking feet on the street and it’s not the editors’ fault there are NOT ENOUGH feet on the street. It’s because they’re owned by a hedge fund. A hedge fund in my opinion is not in it for the news, they’re in it because these are like distressed assets or something, aren’t they?

As for regional and television media, I think they were more interested in major metropolitan cities/areas because that’s where they expected a problem which is common sense in a way. Honestly, I don’t think they expected anything like this to turn up in West Chester. However, I’m jaded and I expect things like this to turn up anywhere.

I was not at the protest yesterday. And I had a feeling about all of these protests and figured this was simply not my scene. Maybe I just watch too many Nordic noir and ITV/BBC crime dramas. I actually asked a friend in her upper years to stay home. I know that probably annoyed her on some level, but she is treasured by me so I told her how I felt.

Anyway we don’t know why this happened or who this male person was. None of us are medical health professionals, so we can’t opine on that, and you hear about that in the video I’m about to share. I will say, however, in defense of whomever that was speaking in the background, that political extremists on either side are gaslighting things on message boards and social media in my opinion. It is also my opinion they are artificially inflating at times what is happening politically in this country, and honestly, the truth is bad enough.

We don’t know what political persuasion this person who was arrested was, or what they were doing there. But is this a first time people have exhibited extreme and potentially dangerous behavior like this? No, it is simply that social media didn’t exist in those times.

We don’t know what they were carrying other than what you could hear the police discussing on the video. And what you could see them removing from his person.

Either way that’s kind of something that really gives you pause doesn’t it if we can’t even have our inalienable right to a peaceful assembly, what are we coming to in this country?

And do I believe that this was a person on the same side as the people peacefully exercising their right to protest yesterday in West Chester? Honestly, no. I think it falls into the same category of the people who turned up at the protest in Philadelphia and then trashed the city. Individuals and seperate groups like this are more opportunistic or separatist. Perhaps I’m not explaining that eloquently enough, but that’s my gut check on it. This was ONE person yesterday as far as anyone knows.

All I do know is this puts regular people and law enforcement at risk.

Above all else it makes me sad to think that occurred in West Chester.

A little shout out to West Chester‘s public information officer. He deserves much credit for not ignoring this and addressing it. So many public information officers in municipalities everywhere today like to pretend things like this don’t happen. They only want to share the happy fluffy things and we definitely don’t live in a happy fluffy world.

Please be safe out there. Once again as Americans we are relearning the lesson that liberty and freedom aren’t necessarily free.

UPDATE ⬇️

skullduggery surrounding shuttered brandywine hospital campus

Well dammmmmnnnn, this is interesting….the case is apparently in US District Court. This Banyan company (addiction treatment) alleges that a company from Wayne called Actus, falsely represented authority to lease building. This particular building the article states is owned by Coatesville MP RK6, a business associated with Remedy Medical Properties, a company based in Chicago, IL.

If you have been following the local news of it all you will remember most of this hospital campus was sold to the Lloyd Farm Folks AKA Regal Builders in March. This one lone building has another owner. According to this Philadelphia Business Journal article, the Banyan company had also been renovating the building when the real owners Coatesville MP RK6 (an LLC I presume of Remedy Medical Properties?) rolled up and said no dice kids, that’s OUR building.

And it’s funny I remember someone talking about this building being renovated in the course of a conversation about what would happen to that campus and the fact the hospital buildings were outdated. And I do remember someone else saying that this building in the article was under separate ownership.

Fascinating.

How do you represent a building you don’t actually have permission to represent? Like how did he even get inside or get keys? And I went to the Actus website and it is listed as a COMPLETED project! (Oh and under current projects on their website? Nada. Nothing.)

Guess this is shady is as shady does?

Treatment center operator claims it was tricked into fake Brandywine Hospital lease

By John George – Senior Reporter, Philadelphia Business Journal

Jun 9, 2025

Banyan is suing a Wayne company for allegedly tricking the addiction treatment center operator into signing a fraudulent lease for space on the former Brandywine Hospital campus in Chester County.

The lawsuit, filed by Banyan Coatesville on May 28 in U.S. District Court in Philadelphia, lists Actus Management and the affiliated Actus Holdings and Actus Healthcare Properties as defendants…..The lawsuit alleges Sean McDougall, a managing member at Actus who is also named as a defendant, falsely represented that he was acting as an authorized agent and landlord for the owner of the building

FINALLY. allan jay gould is being charged with the murder of his wife anna maciejewska

EIGHT years and a press conference was at 3 PM. Here is the video from the presser:

I never thought this day would come. I have been writing about a woman I never met for 8 years. When I got the text from a reporter I know I started to cry. I know it might sound dumb because I did not know her, but when you write about someone for eight years, you start to feel like you knew her. Ironically yesterday I shared the post I wrote in February to mark the coming of the 8 year anniversary.

Today authorities swarmed the house she built in Malvern where her husband Allan Jay Gould still lived with her little boy, Andrew. I hope Andrew is Ok.

Anna’s house in Malvern- not sure if today

Justice for Anna Maciejewska is long overdue.

Here is the Inquirer article:

Philadelphia Inquirer:

After 8 years, a missing Malvern woman’s husband has been charged with her murder
Anna Maciejewska’s husband, Allen Gould, had long been considered a person of interest in her 2017 disappearance and suspected murder, according to her family.

oh radnor

Sometimes when I have appointments down on the Main Line, I go back via Radnor Street Road to check on the Wayne Natatorium sign. The reason I do that is I actually do not trust Radnor Township to maintain it even though it’s a state historical marker. And I am the reason it’s there.

But as I was going through today, I noticed that the parking lot that is at the corner of Willow Avenue and Radnor Street Road for Cowan Field was magically FedEx parking.

Funny thing about that lot is it supposed to be permit parking only or if you’re using the park. I can tell you that there was no one in the park when I drove by.

So is FedEx renting parking spaces from Radnor Township? I didn’t see anything like hang tags that would make one think there’s a parking permit involved.

I did have a giggle over this because when I had come through Wayne earlier, I noticed the stealth parking enforcement fairies’ van roaming around so they could hand out tickets. I guess they don’t go all the way over into Little Chicago?

Of course, I also noticed there were plenty of cars parked around Little Chicago in places that aren’t actually legal.

But hey, that’s Radnor Township at its best: inconsistent.

Isn’t this part of Jack Larkin’s ward? He’s still the Ward 1 Commissioner, right?

Anyway, I hope these FedEx trucks have legal permits because otherwise it’s pretty crappy to get chased around by the parking enforcement fairies and there’s a double standard right?

life in the fast lane

Oh hello dear readers! How are you today on this now cloudy slightly dampish Saturday?

Did you know that I live life in the fast lane?

It’s kind of a no, not really response, but I am once again, fascinated by people whom I choose to have nothing to do with being so fascinated with me.

First up this week was an important local meeting where I shared meeting information for residents who wanted to know the details of the meeting. So I provided the location, and the fact that they could access it on Zoom.

After I posted the comments started. Today when you give people the information they’re seeking and they say they couldn’t possibly make time for what they say is important to them. It’s their community, they expect change, yet they don’t want to participate where they live.

I literally said to one person that they could Zoom it, and I continued that you don’t have to have your camera on or your audio on. You can simply have the meeting on and the volume turned up so when it gets to the part that is of interest, you can come watch it. I literally do that a lot because no, we always don’t have time to go to meetings in person or sit and listen to an entire Zoom meeting. This person subsequently replied along the lines of wow what a privileged statement and how is that a privileged statement?

How is giving someone the meeting information they wanted and giving them their options a privileged statement? Or was it the fact that I said OK I was just providing the information, and said people make time for what’s important to them?

People in communities everywhere often demand to know what’s going on in their communities because heaven forbid they look at their municipal website. But when you give them the information they seek, they couldn’t possibly, they’re too busy, they have kids.

Again, my response is pretty simple. That’s their choice but people make time for what’s important to them.

Is this something I’m supposed to do for them? Or the ones who hold up the yellow flag for kids. Do they think they are the only people who have ever had children or worked while having children or had children and did other things?

Again, people make time for what’s important to them. And the ones who want everyone else to do everything for them, don’t like it when you point that out.

Next up was an unsolicited private message from a local politician, who also happens to be a lawyer.

Let’s begin it doesn’t take a genius to read an agenda. It’s pretty straightforward. These municipal agendas tell you what’s going on in a meeting and when they include a packet with documents that further explain what’s going on in a meeting it’s not so hard to interpret is it? I love it when you get the feels like but of course it’s not an intimidation message when you point out what’s happening at an upcoming meeting…. especially when said municipality has documents to back up exactly what is happening and they are all over their website if you know where to look so how does that work, please?

Then you have the social media circus that you have to wonder is this just being propped up by a particular gaslighting guru?

There’s also one person whom I don’t really talk about except once in a while to ask with genuine curiosity about the obsession with me and other local individuals.

When you encounter someone online, who seems dangerously obsessive, are you supposed to never ask questions about that?

I also can’t figure people out who who participate in the barrage of verbal diarrhea on social media who are mostly people that have been taken off of my blog’s Facebook page or something like that … all people I just simply choose not to be around even virtually on social media.

I really don’t get it.

And then there’s this whole thing about the fact that I am showing up on political platforms like I’m a candidate to defeat except I’m not running for office.

These extraordinarily damaged people literally sit on social media platforms and bash me and others like we are a Bravolebrity. Andy Cohen, where’s our bonus?

I did learn a new term today. Someone said I had TDS. I had no idea what that was so I looked it. it’s called Trump Derangement Syndrome. He’s kind of not my guy and I don’t actually talk about him a lot so doesn’t that actually apply to them because they love him so much?

And then there are the psycho assholes with casseroles types who say I’m an operative for the Democratic Party. What’s even funnier are the Democrats who say I am an operative for the Republicans.

These people? This is what they do all day, every day. And then they also send me private messages if I don’t respond to them on a particular social media platform.

These people have zero boundaries. I am not at their beck and call.

And at the end of the day I am still bemused by the fact that I’m still just one person so why are they so obsessed? And then you have these other people who totally rile these others up because they like to see me gaslit and disparaged. And they also actually like to see me threatened. And yes, law enforcement does keep an eye on this stuff in general, as in not for me, but because that is what they do.

I don’t actually know these people who have decided I am evil. I simply don’t want to interact with them. I’m just out here living my life yet they want to tell me and everyone else how we are supposed to live our lives. They want to tell us how we’re supposed to think and what we’re supposed to do. And if we don’t wish to interact with them? That’s simply not acceptable.

And then when they’re not getting enough attention, they will throw something out there like I’m talking about their families. If I am speaking about their families, it’s only in the context of a question as to who are they anyway?

People don’t have to like me and I don’t have to like them. But that doesn’t mean that they get to just sit and try to destroy everyone’s lives, including mine by claiming that’s what I’m doing. I believe the appropriate term is projection?

So here we are life in the fast lane.

so yeah the current radnor school district book banning aficionado is the same guy from a couple of years ago.

Courtesy of Savvy Main Line.

So Savvy Main Line blew the lid off of Radnor Township School District and the book banning of it all. The complainant ONCE AGAIN was the SAME guy who tried before, only this time, Radnor’s current unimpressive Superintendent of Schools Ken Batchelor who has obviously forgotten all about the diverse communities he once served, and STILL serves, seems to be capitulating to this dude’s whims?

My opinion on Batchelor is overwhelmingly he needs to go.

What is this man who oops started this again really afraid of? Did Superintendent Ken Batchelor misplace his balls somewhere? Yes, I just did say this because libraries? Libraries are supposed to be a peaceful place. A refuge. A haven. A safe place. I was and still am a bookworm. I loved libraries as kid. It was a place to escape, to visit foreign lands, learn something new, develop your own intellectual curiosity.

A library (again) is supposed to be a safe space.

This same man who has been wreaking havoc in Radnor probably embarrasses his kids, but are they allowed to have their own opinions? So he can keep his own kids out of the library and away from certain books and I have to wonder if he knows what his own kids get up to on the internet, social media, at the mall, etc.? Probably not.

I think this Radnor secret committee is also BS. I hope more and more people jump on this and give the Radnor librarians and librarian everywhere facing these issues back their libraries. And if these committee members are so proud of what they have done, why don’t they stand up in public?

And for every book that is banned, people need to open little free libraries of banned books everywhere.

If you don’t want your kids to read something, that is your personal choice as a parent, except if you think your kids will just not check something out that you said no to like a simple book, were you ever a kid? For me it was Are You There God, It’s Me Margaret, yet I think some of those novels like Lady Chatterley’s Lover and Tom Jones or Valley of the Dolls were a lot more racy.

To follow is the excellent Savvy reporting and Radnor School District won’t allow embedding of their videos so follow this link for the March 11, 2025 Policy Committee Meeting. I also dug up some old articles from when this guy started the witch hunts and book banning circus before.

Here’s hoping Radnor finds a new superintendent along with reversing this book ban. Parents need to parent in their own homes, not an entire school district. Would that this man who is at it again be so passionate about drugs, alcohol, and bullying. And well this angry dad could put his kids in Catholic school or a Christian school. But no, he wants Radnor taxpayers to pay for his phobias. Radnor taxpayers is that ok with you? It would not be ok with me.

Choice. Look it up, Mr. Phobic. Here’s hoping you allow your kids to have choices.
