Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire What is it that the Newsies think they are accomplishing?

I had to get a new account. Had transqueers, fat freak lesbos and raccoon feeder people threatening to dox me and come squish me. lol

I like to post a news story every once in a while

but I do a good job

I don’t leave trash and clickbait crap in the body of the cut n paste. I also add pics, and include the link.

Now THAT is a scary combo.
You wound up the who's who of the mentally ill. Lol

I guesss it’s beneficial to the boomers that refuse to get a smart phone…

Be living like the 1960’s waiting for Walter Cronkite to review the happenings of the last 24 hours..

Then watch some Emergency! and Adam 12.

Instant news is free…

Pard, sarcasm Pard. I have no issue with Paul, he's a Pard

Slum,

Does Renegade have a Holler Buck patterned yet?

JUST THAT

Pards, I get all my news here so I have no problem with anyone posting anything. I quit watching all news after the 2020 election Pards.

Rock on Pards

I don't know what anyone would object to someone spreading the news.

Holy cow. Lol.

Amen.

Dang. You cud post it first and save us the trouble.

We cant voice our opinion on it until its posted.you know.

Yes you do. Glad you admitted it. Step 1

The 'Fire needs a news/link/tard forum.



And a real life forum right below it.

Keep some space between em.

I agree 100%, and I think everyone will find this to be some interesting and indispensable information.

Please, don't thank me.



Your ‘cut and paste’ approach to reporting is disappointing

Letter to the editor:

The Coalition for a Clean Dan River Region appreciates the Star Tribune publication of some of the information we provided one of your reporters several months ago.

It appeared that you either failed to read the DEQ documents provided, or did not understand the significance of them. It seemed confusing for the reader to have the violations presented as my personal opinion and simple “allegations” (without proof, doubtful, or suspect).

Your “cut and paste” approach to reporting is disappointing and fails to present the facts accurately.

This very serious situation is neither new nor questionable for our community, nor are the DEQ documented violations by First Piedmont.

Did you confirm the statements of Mr. Setliff as factual? He repeated the same denials published previously by the Tribune.

All “allegations” against First Piedmont are clearly documented. A DEQ official described this as the “worst” they have seen in Va.

Blaming Covid for their operational deficiencies is almost as ludicrous as blaming Donald Trump. If anything, Covid should have made it easier for them to operate.

Again, I invite Mr. Setliff to review hazardous waste definitions and sources, ranging from industrial wastes to batteries and the many forms, including liquids, solids, gases and sludges First Piedmont advertises that they accept.

Also, Setliff claims the landfill has operated without a permit violation for 50 years until 2021. .Perhaps he was not in a position to have access to that information.

Our community observed first hand those 50 years of having First Piedmont as a neighbor.

To quote Ben Davenport in one of your previous publications:

“Sometimes it’s just as well not to know the truth. It’s convenient”

The truth is that industrial waste may pollute nearby soil and adjacent water bodies , and can contaminate groundwater (all of which FP has done)

Industrial waste is often mixed with municipal waste, making assessment difficult. Enforcement is

always an issue. This proposes a threat to public health and the environment.

Danville Transportation Director, Marc Adelman, admittedly having a “good relationship with the owner” was quoted as saying there were no present concerns related to flight paths in or out of Danville Regional Airport. and no concerns about the height of the landfill. (that is true since the September landfill fire)

But otherwise that statement is questionable. (per emails earlier this year from the Virginia Dept of Aviation to Mr. Adelman)

A good investigational reporter could find some interesting details for publication if you really want the truth.

Thanks you.

It's not as if we are bereft of access to the news on an individual basis. Note that the bulk of the news hounds ONLY post news articles or concerns. Not much in the way of hunting, fishing, sitting around the campfire shooting the bull or reloading. I have little or no use for those folks.
