For you lovers of JK8-go here, read this and pull your head out of your rear end, end the show now for the sake of the children. www.diariesoftheprofessor.com Every so often they show the first 2 episodes. At the time, they were "specials" with no series. They were such an appealing family--seemed very normal, down-to-earth. Kate wasn't such a shrew--it was before her makeover, but she was still really cute. The kids, of course, were adorable. Jon has always been a bit boring, I think. It is sad to see what a disaster they have become. But to them it is probably a big improvement--huge house, designer clothes, travel...I think it would be hard to say that they were wrong to take advantage of all the stuff, but it's too bad they couldn't have kept their original charm. However, even at that time, people who knew them felt that they were taking advantage of everyone--so who knows. Maybe they were creeps even before they had the kids. This is what exploiting your eight children gives you, a 1.3 million dollar mansion on 26 acres in the hills of Berks County, PA. Jon & Kate CHOSE to live this life... we all have choices. I just feel really bad about the kids, they are the true victims of this whole scam:(

Pigeon shooter Robert Butchkavitch intentionally commits an assault on video, and yet gets a pass by District Justice Victor M. Frederick. This is the joke of the justice system in Berks County, Pennsylvania. Where animal abusers receive protection under the law, and animals and animal protectors do not.

This racist rant occurred on February 19, 2011, during a live pigeon shoot at the Wing Pointe canned hunting resort outside Hamburg, Pennsylvania, in very corrupt Berks County. While such this behavior may be shocking, and is certainly disgusting, what more would one expect from a place where people go to slaughter cage raised animals for fun? The National Rifle Association runs Pennsylvania, and supports the cruelty and cowardice of live pigeons shoots. Live pigeon shoots are Pennsylvania's shame.

Pigeon shoot thug Robert M. Boyd, of Ringoes, New Jersey, assaults SHARK investigator Janet Enoch as she sits in her legally parked vehicle outside a live pigeon shoot at the infamous Wing Poiinte canned hunting resort, located in corrupt Berks County, Pennsylvania. Prior assaults and other acts of violence have been consistently ignored by Berks County District Attorney John Adams, who has also ignored even the most gross acts of animal abuse. Credit goes to the Pennsylvania State Police for bringing a charge of harassment against Mr. Boyd.

Mt. Penn's (Berks County Co. 1) Ladder passing by Rescue 2 as we stage at the hydrant for a mutual aid call in Birdsboro. We were called for RIT. No fire was found, but several employees were overcome by some sort of toxic fume. Love the loud exhaust on this truck, it's a shame to see it go....

This video documents some of the rescue efforts of SHARK following a December 5, 2010 live pigeon shoot held at Wing Pointe, a resort for animal serial killers located at 1414 Moselem Springs Road, outside Hamburg, Pennsylvania. Twenty-one live pigeons were rescued. Unfortunately, that was just a fraction of those who could not be found, or who were able to elude rescuers. SHARK initiated the rescue due to the steadfast refusal of Berks County District Attorney John Adams to take action. Mr. Adams has even refused to allow Pennsylvania Humane Police Officers to prosecute separately from the DA's office. It should come as no surprise that DA Adams has received contributions from the pigeon shooters. PA's live pigeon shoots are supported by the National Rifle Association (NRA).

The Hamburg Barracks of the Pennsylvania State Police are consistently ignoring animal abuse in the form of live pigeon shoots at the Wing Pointe resort for animal serial killers, located outside Hamburg, Pennsylvania, in corrupt Berks County. Are they intimidated by corrupt District Attorney John Adams, who has accepted political contributions from the pigeon shooters? Aren't the state police supposed to be better than that?
