Village Idiot of the Day, July 8, 2009: dlarson, catangel, nini1, missamym, mjfan62509, Windsor

Misogyny.

We all knew it would follow the Escola/England story. Next to blacks, "liberals" and (in political season) the mentally retarded, no class of uppities deserve comeuppance more than women. Why, only a few weeks ago, Marcia Mammone got exactly what she deserved when her ex-husband murdered her two small children and her mother. Just ask "Braxton." Well, to be fair Braxton"posited that Mammone should have just killed his ex and let her family sort it out later.

To celebrate the removal of evil temptress Janine England from the Perry police we find the following comments posted under Trustees Fire Janine England During Special Meeting

catangel

nini1

missamyn

Thank God! Now the male officers working for Perry can go to work, do their jobs and not worry about her causing more problems... wives/girlfriends of the Perry cops can relax now!

dlarson

Why are women doing police work anyway? The women are doing mens jobs, Working on the street department, why can't they get a job doing what women are suppose to do? They look like they are working caring that little flag around directing traffice . Its sickening! Who hires these women? Here we are , men out of work and the women are doing our job, Nothing against women, but they should be home with there kids and taking care of the house etc. If they have to work, well, maybe they need to cut back and stop living beyond their means. Thank God someone at Perry came to their right mind. Good thing she is off of that department, I wouldn't want her stopping my son.

She looks like trouble

A women cannot perform as well as a man in many instances.you know it's true.

We guess Sampson....er we mean, Tim Escola...just couldn't help himself. We know if we were an upright law enforcement patriarch as Escola was, even we would find it impossible to escape the web of Ms. Hot Cop's charms. Of course, we have our own suspicions. It would appear from the picture at the right that Deputy England has actually removed Chief Escola's revolver from its holster and is pointing it at his...well, you know... in order to safely force her kisses on him, unmolested. Whatever. Think of it this way: Tim Escola played so we won't have to.

In celebration of Stark County Misogyny, we award "nothing against women" dlarson the grand prize Village Idiot of the Day Award, July 8, 2009. Moreoever, we share his or hers relief that Deputy England never pulled dlarson fils over. God knows what horrors he may have been forced to endure at the depraved lips of Delilah.

Our second place award is shared by nini1, windsor, and catangel.

We believe that catangel articulates the rightful anger of MRS. Escola at the moment, but since the poster made no suggestion that other women pay for the sins of Ms England we have granted catangel secondary status. If catangel wishes to be considered for a Grand Prize in the future on the subject of Janine England we recommend that an amended comment be posted condemning all women everywhere for Deputy England's actions. It's what women deserve.

Honorable mentions go to missamyn and mjfan62509.

In addition to receiving Wednesday's award, all of our winners receive a complementary viewing of "The Trouble with Women," in the hope that they will change their attitudes toward women, especially women in the workforce. At the end of the film our winners are expected to write a 500 word essay, submitted to I Hate Canton: "What's the Trouble with Me." The essays will be posted here.

The Trouble with Women:

Exclusive! I Hate Canton Catches Carnal Cops on Video

I Hate Canton is proud to present this exclusive video of Perry's most famous law enforcement power couple: Tim Escola and Janine England. The couple was caught on I Hate Canton's hidden CopCam an hour after Officer England was dismissed from the Perry Police Department on the grounds of “inexcusable” actions unbecoming an officer.

Remember! You saw it here first!

Repository: watch it and weep. Journalism at it's finest!

Update: Something Had to Give: Village Idiot Janine England Fired by Village Idiot Perry Trustees

Our Village Idiot was hardly off the press when word came down that Janine England has been fired by the Perry Township trustees. According to the Rep, Perry trustees refused to accept her resignation turned in shortly before their meeting today, and booted her instead. Deputy England's letter of resignation read in part:

It is with great regret that I announce my resignation effective today the 7th of July 2009. Even though my work history with the police department was exemplary, due to the recent media attention to this matter I firmly believe this would be in the best interest of the Perry Police Department. I sincerely hope this matter can be put to rest from now on and all parties can move forward.

Exemplary?

England started working for the Perry police on April 13 and commenced her relationship with Escola on May 18 which lasted "officially" until June 25 the day they were clandestinely popped. Dates apparently determined by emails confiscated by the trustees. Who knows what they're doing now. I Hate Canton did not run into them on our summer expedition into the wilds of Ohio, but that doesn't mean that they weren't nesting in some comfy car wash or a cozy cove near Sippo Lake.

We sympathize with England and Escola. As Frank Sinatra sang Somethin's Gotta Give (and he should know!). What were they to do? Go home to their respective spouses?

When an irresistible force such as you
Meets an old immovable object like me
You can bet just as sure as you live
Somethin's gotta give
Somethin's gotta give
Somethin's gotta give




England's firing does not invalidate anyone's recent award. Village Idiots all!

Village Idiot of the Week, July 2-July 7, 2009: Tim Escola, Janine England, Charles Hall, Perry Township Trustees

For most of the time I Hate Canton was summering on the edges of Ohio's frontier and was hence, offline, hell bubbled over in Perry Heights. To whit: the romantic antics of (now former) Perry Police Chief Tim Escola and his probationary Deputy Dawg, Janine England:

She tugs at his shirt sleeve with her teeth. He caresses her right cheek.

They smile.

Officer Janine England rests her head on the shoulder of her boss, then-Police Chief Tim Escola, as they travel together in the front seat of a police cruiser June 2. They went to the Cincinnati area to bring a burglary suspect back to Stark County.

Due to the time that's gone by since this story broke, I Hate Canton will not reiterate the unappetizing and salacious details. You know them anyway. Just go to the Rep's search engine and type in "Escola." Here, though, is the video of the frontseat event that was released to the Rep. (so far, it has over 75,000 hits!) It's only 2 minutes long. Being salacious ourselves, I Hate Canton would love to see the rest of the 7 hour tape to confirm our feeling that Chief Escola is indeed THAT boring at the wheel or anyplace else.





Back in the old days this tryst wouldn't have been news except around election time. Canton and Stark County cops hung out in brothels, blind pigs, gin joints, and gambling dens. If you needed a cop, you went to Cherry Street or Rex Avenue, not the doughnut shop.

Back in the old days, a reprobate cop would have been busted by a reformist do-gooder with a Bible or a Guide to Good Government in hand.

Today our constabulary is forced to take vice where it can...from its own ranks... in the front seat of a police cruiser...on a road trip... with Ms Hottie Cop.

Today, the reprobate busts himself by technology gone awry.

I Hate Canton loves the idea of the "on" button being pushed inadvertently by the passionate bump of a stray knee, hand, or forehead during that ride up from Cinci. We expect, though, it's not that clumsy or fun.

There has been much speculation that Escola was straight up set up by Perry Heights professional Escola haters, though how this might be accomplished is a bit fantastical. Last night's Stark County Political Report, gives a more plausible explanation of how the smoochies were caught on CopCam. Martin Olson, summarizing one of his unnamed sources,writes of what he has dubbed Perrygate:

As a parenthetical, an area law official tells the SCPR that this is an unusual arrangement. First, chief very rarely go pick up prisoners, and, second rookie officers are not normally chosen for the task either.

Obviously, with the publication of a video on line showing Escola and England kissing, someone had turned on the camera recording inside the police car activities. The Report's source believes that the person was Ms. England. However, the turn-on is not thought to be purposeful, but inadvertently (she did not understand exactly how to operate the camera).

From there the tape, upon routine review, made its murky way to Perry Township Trustee Anna Capaldi, who had a "problem" with the chief. As quick as you can say Marion Berry, Escola proffered his resignation.

This makes a lot more sense to us than a merceneary Deputy Dawg England surreptitiously taping herself and her boss making whoopee driving down the road in a police cruiser with a prisoner snug in the backseat. A confusing career move to the top of the cop heap in Perry, especially after her sexual harassment and racial discrimination suit against the Montville Township (Medina County) police where she was employed previously.

We cannot let this go without commendation. We were first tempted to award Officer Escola the Blue Ribbon he so justly deserves, but the prize really needs to be shared with Deputy Janine England, Perry Law Director Charles Hall, and the Perry Township Board of Trustees, who for their own eccentric reasons haven't removed England from her job:

Law Director Charles Hall said Wednesday afternoon that England was “under direct command” of her boss. And, he said, both officers were engaged in similar behavior.. “I don’t think I can reprimand her for a department violation when he’s there and engaging in the same activity,” Hall said....Unless new and compelling information surfaces, Hall said he sees “no reason to continue” with the investigation...Hall said England remains an officer in “good standing” despite her actions, and continues to serve her one-year probationary period that is standard for new Perry officers.

In other words:

• It's OK to monkey around on the taxpayer dime if the other monkey is your boss.

• It's OK to monkey around on the tax payer dime if both monkeys are agreeable

• It's OK to monkey around on the taxpayer dime if one of the monkeys resigns

• It's OK to monkey around om the taxpayer dime if we say it's OK
  

We, therefore, grant Officer Timothy Escola, Deputy Janine England, Charles Hall, and the entire Perry Township Board of Trustees the Village Idiot of the WEEK award, July 2-7, 2009

We also issue our warmest congratulations to now former prisoner Matthew Ruble (he was released upon return to Stark County and all charges dropped) for remaining calm during what must have been a cruel and unusual punishment experience.
