Who is Kevin Boyle? Pennsylvania State Rep. threatens to shut down bar, stop promotions after being asked to leave
Pennsylvania State Rep. Kevin Boyle (D-Philadelphia) was seen swearing and threatening people in a drunken state inside a Montgomery County bar in a video that has gone viral on social media.
Before being ejected from the bar, the Democratic state legislator allegedly threatened to use his position to shut it down while launching into a foul-mouthed tirade directed at the staff.
According to the widely shared video, Boyle began throwing a fit at the Gaul & Co. Malt House in Rockledge, Pennsylvania, by yelling at a female bartender and defying many commands to leave.
Boyle called the patrons of the bar “idiots” and “morons,” and also accused them of being “traitors” and “actors.” He even threatened to stop “promotion” of people present inside the bar.
“I can f*cking end this bat by the way… This bar is done! Do you know who the f*ck I am? This bar is done tomorrow,” he can be heard saying in the video. “Do you not think I’m going to prevent your promotion in the United States military?” he added.
Patrons in the bar told Boyle to leave, alleging that he is high on drugs or alcohol. It’s yet to be known when the incident exactly took place.

Pennsylvania House Democratic Leaders react to Boyle’s video
Calling the video “very troubling”, a spokesperson for the Pennsylvania House Democratic Leaders issued a statement on the incident.
“We are aware of a video circulating on social media. It is very troubling. Rep. Boyle has been open about his personal challenges,” the spokesperson said in a statement obtained by NBC10. “We are encouraged that our colleague and dear friend is seeking help. Our commitment to delivering mental health services does not stop at the Capitol Steps.”
“One of the main reasons we advocate so strongly for mental health access is the reality that challenges can and do happen to anyone, and seeking treatment should be encouraged, not stigmatized.”
Boyle’s younger brother is Pennsylvania Rep. Brendan Boyle (D-2nd District).
In a statement, Patrick Gushue, the politician’s republican opponent, referred to the Boyle’s actions as “unacceptable” and said that they “highlight the need for new leadership in the district.” Gushue expressed hope that Boyle would get the care he needed.
Johnstown, Pa. (WJAC) — The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame just released this year’s list of inductees, and a new clothing store just opened in the Johnstown Galleria.
What do these two things have in common?
If you grew up listening to 90’s hip-hop, then you’re probably familiar with the Wu-Tang Clan.

They said, “We’re in the building right now, we’re out in Johnstown making it happen, fashion and rapping, and Wu-Tang, you already know Wu-Tang is the witty, unpredictable talent and natural game. So, it’s all grassroots with us, man. We do everything from scratch.”
They’re being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this year, and Darryl Hill, aka Cappadonna, and manager Al “Heck” Felder are opening the Pillage, a clothing store in the Johnstown Galleria, selling apparel with a purpose.
Cappadonna said, “‘Cappadonna,’ that stands for ‘Consider All Poor People Acceptable, Don’t Oppress Nor Neglect Anyone,’ and we stand on that.”
They were introduced to mall owner Leo Karruli through Mustafa Curry, a childhood friend from New York, who owns a store on Main Street in Johnstown.
Heck said, “BK Styles, I’ve got to give a shout out to my boy, Mustafa. They’ve got some apparel down there, too. We’re all over. We’re spreading the word and we’re spreading the love.”

Their other clothing line, Angry Elephant, promotes being good stewards of the Earth, with a portion of the proceeds protecting the animals from poachers.
They said they believe in always putting God and family first.
Cappadonna said, “When you recognize the God in us, then you can see the God in you.”
They said they want kids to know that violence is not the answer, and it doesn’t cost anything to be kind.
Cappadonna said, “We just want to say that it’s nice to be important, but it’s even more important to be nice.”
A mother and her six children died when their Central Pennsylvania home exploded and caught on fire Sunday morning, state police said.
The explosion and fire happened at around 8:30 a.m. at a home on Long Run Road in Lamar Township, Clinton County, which is roughly 35 miles from State College. Crews arrived on the scene and found the home fully engulfed in flames, with the mother and her six children trapped.
State police identified the 34-year-old woman who died in the fire as Sarah B. Stolzfus. Her 11-year-old son, 10-year-old son, 8-year-old daughter, 6-year-old daughter, 5-year-old son and 3-year-old son also died in the blaze, according to state police.
A propane leak inside the house might’ve caused the explosion and fire, state police said. Propane tanks outside the home did not explode or contribute to the fire, according to state police.
The explosion and fire are under investigation by state police.
