Remove Richard Anderson from Amherst town board

After Amherst town board member Richard "Jay" Anderson was called to duty for the Navy Reserves, he used a little known codicil in the Amherst Constitution to have his daddy sit in for him.

His father is former State Assemblyman Rick Anderson, Sr. After all, this is Western New York, where the old politicians never leave. They just linger around like contagious fungi. Now it seems that dad can't be bothered to attend the town board meetings because he "winters" in Florida.

These days, however, Town Board members are wondering if the replacement needs replacing, since Anderson Sr. is wintering in Florida and isn’t scheduled to return until late April or May.

Talk about entitled. Did you ever notice the only people "wintering" in Florida are the ones who made their living off the taxpayers of Western New York ?(see Jim Keane). I'm disappointed in the residents of Amherst. Get rid of this carpetbagging loser and replace him with someone from the private sector, who actually lives here year round. What a joke!...

I want my pizza

What's wrong with some people these days? Did you happen to see the video of the irate customer in Amherst who flipped out when he was told there was no more desert pizza left. The authorities are speculating he might have anger issues. I'd say if you pick up a broom and start swinging it at the 16 year olds behind the counter over a $2 slice of pizza, anger issues are a fair assumption. Give this loser some pizza...


We have some exclusive footage of an earlier incident involving this same customer...

Bomb scare at Transmit Middle School

Congratulations to these students at Transit Middle School, recently voted the number one middle school in Erie County by Business First Magazine. Your overly pretentious parents must be so proud...

AMHERST, NY-Amherst Police have charged two students at Transit Middle School in a series of bomb threats directed at the school.

After a week long investigation and with the help of the school's resource officer, police were able to identify the suspects.

Both are charged with falsely reporting an incident, a felony.

After being mugged and fingerprinted, each was released to their parents until their court date.

I can remember the last bomb scare we all experienced...

Talk to me, tell me your name
You blow me off like it's all the same
You lit a fuse, and now I'm ticking away
Like a bomb... yeah baby

Racist snob in East Amherst

This is sad. Some snob in East Amherst doesn't like the fact that a Mosque was built a few doors down from him, so he posted a racist sign. Nothing like showing the whole community how stupid you are to get your point across. It's funny. Some people say that about me. ???

Who's more likely to make a bomb?: People going to their place of worship or a lunatic angry enough to post a racist sign next to their place of worship?...

Christmas mayhem

A masked gunman robs a bank. A customer follows him out of the bank and fires 4-6 shots at him with his gun. The whole thing is witnessed by a creepy looking man, who doubles as an Eastern Hills Mall's Santa Claus. No, this is not the script of an old Richard Pryor movie. It actually happened today out in Amherst.

Safest city in America?...

They're not exactly the 10th St. Boys but these teens in Amherst might be in a lot of trouble. Whatever happened to hanging out at the Boulevard Mall?

How could this happen in the safest city in America?

Something with this story just doesn't seem to add up. Is this just a horrible tragedy where 31 year old David Park just walked into the wrong house? An anti gun person would say this is one reason we don't need guns. Too much potential for accidents. A pro gun advocate would say the Amherst homeowner was well within his rights to shoot the man. To me, it just seems like there is more going on here than the Amherst police are telling us. Shouldn't the homeowner have realized that the victim didn't pose a threat? Or was there so much confusion that the victim never realized he was in the wrong house? Since when do guys go to baby showers, much less get drunk at one? Was the neighbor's door left unlocked at 1AM? Hopefully, more information will come out regarding this story.

90 year old charged with murder

A 90 year old man has been charged with killing his 89 year old wife at a retirement home in Amherst. Talk about bizarre. The DA is seeking a life sentence, or in this case 1-3 years behind bars. It's very sad to think of a 90 year old man going to the Erie County Holding Center. At least the 100 year old pedophile will have someone to play cards with.
