Pol-Threatening Newest Hot Crime

First demons, now this guy. Something is going on in Bucks County!

The county north of Philadelphia is well known for being shaped like a short fat man’s boot, but maybe there is something more sinister going on. The demons who vandalized churches have been caught, it seems, but now 49-year-old Katsuo Matsui Clark of Bensalem is terrorizing Buxco.

According to Bensalem police, Clark was meeting with state Sen. Tommy Tomlinson, who — like most politicians — has been in office since 1642. Sometime before, he had told Tomlinson (at the funeral home he owns, natch) that neither he nor Bensalem mayor Joseph DiGirolamo had much security and to watch out. For some reason, apparently Tomlinson took a meeting with him later, just to be nice or something, and Clark told Tomlinson to look under the couch cushions to see what he could do; the senator found a hunting knife and a cap gun!

I’m not totally positive about the timeline above; things are a little confusing in the Bucks County Courier Times story, and with good reason. The cops didn’t even want this in the newspaper!

Bensalem Public Safety Director Fred Harran declined to comment on the specifics of the case. In fact, Harran did not publicize the charges against Clark in the police department’s daily press releases to the media because he said he’s concerned about the possibility of “copycat” crimes.

“I didn’t want to comment on security issues knowing this would start a media frenzy,” Harran said Wednesday morning. “We don’t want to make too many comments on this particular case. I don’t want to sensationalize the case.”

They must be in a lot of danger. Man, how much do people hate the mayor and state senator in Bensalem? This isn’t apparently just one man with mental and other issues, there’s a whole mob out to get those two. (It’s like Resident Evil 4, only instead of disease-infected Spaniards it’s dudes with cap guns. These guys must be awesome politicians to keep getting re-elected, though.
