Looks like Ward 3 Councilor Rico Mello struck a nerve with Peabody Fire Inspector Joseph DiFranco! Making a statement in regards to the way it seemed that the Fire Dept. was treating a business man in the Dark City. Woods trucking went before the council for a permit to store fuel on their property on Farm Avenue near the site of the Department of Public Services garage. The way I see it, this gentleman was trying to follow proper protocol by attaining the proper permit to store the flammable liquid, the Peabody Fire Dept. seemed to have a "hidden agenda" by giving him an unusual/unreasonable hard time during the process. Ward 3 Councilor Rico Mello seemed to better expose the probability of a "hidden agenda" by stating that this was a "public lynching" of a person/businessman. Mello even had the support of his counterpart Jimmy "the grouch" Liacos and should have just used his prior remarks in a prior similar case which was a "public flogging!"
Who knows?? I for one am not sure that comparing the statement from Mello's mouth to thousands of deaths of African Americans is a bit much! HERE IS YOUR LINK!
Until Next Time, Let Freedom Ring!
