Reply to comment by Aggravating_Foot_528 in Zappala threatens to keep Kennywood from opening if it doesn't comply with security demands by cooldude_4000

Just based on the article, it took two months to launch a criminal investigation, conclude a security review, and draw up security recommendations (as the park is actively being used!), then three months for Kennywood to review and implement them in the off-season. Finally, a week to review Kennywood's changes and conclude they are insufficient. What do you think is a reasonable timeline for everything to happen?

You seriously don't find it a weeee bit coincidental that this timeline just so happened to lead to the big news grabbing headline of a press conference like 48 hours after his office was busted for playing political games with prosecution decisions?

I mean. Let's flip this around. Is there any particular reason this press conference couldn't have happened next week either?

And finally. He makes official decisions based off politics so god damn regularly that his staff felt comfortable telling a Jude that is what they are doing in some casual side comments. Why should we not assume that this is a political decision as well?

I don't think you can conclude anything connecting the press conference to events from the last 48 hours without knowing when the press conference was scheduled. Even if you had that info, just knowing that last Saturday was when the County went to the park to review everything really takes the wind out of the sails of any conspiracy...

Why this week instead of next? Kennywood now has 4 weeks to address the remaining concerns instead of 3. And look at the top-level comment, they rouse suspicion for having the conference 2 months before the election- pushing it back a week lends more credence to them!

Alright. So the guy who regularly and routinely orders his staff to make prosecution decisions based around what he thinks will help him politically totally by coincidence happened to have a big news story he thinks will help him politically within 24 hours of being caught up in a major ethics scandal.

And you are sticking to that story.

Alright then. Oh hey. As a side note. I have a great investment opportunity for you. It's this bridge in Brooklyn. Send me a private message and I'll get you a quote. My price is extremely fair for such a great bridge.
