"Chief Roger Gilbert Jr. pleaded guilty in 2001 to sexual intercourse with a 4-year-old girl and is listed in the state’s Megan’s Law database."

This person should've been burned alive in the town square.... We have become so weak as a people...

State police said it is up to each individual community to decide whether to allow sex offenders who have completed their sentences to serve in an office at the local level.

So apparently this Pennsylvania law barring convicted criminals from holding office only provides protection for citizens at the state-level:

§ 7. Ineligibility by criminal convictions.

No person hereafter convicted of embezzlement of public moneys, bribery, perjury or other infamous crime, shall be eligible to the General Assembly, or capable of holding any office of trust or profit in this Commonwealth [state.] Source

Now firefighters are going to be demonized in the media and then somebody is about to be demonized in the media for killing a firefighter

What is wrong in this town AND Pa? I found this:

Our database shows there are 3 registered Sex Offenders in Spartansburg, PA, a ratio of 89.82 Sex Offenders per 10,000 residents. This is higher than the national average of 16.06 Sex Offenders per 10,000 residents. Records indicate there are 0 incarcerated Sex Offenders in Pennsylvania, as well as 22 offenders whose location is unknown in Pennsylvania due to the Sex Offenders being transient or their address being unmappable. LOOK at the Statistics. Amazing. Is no one shocked here?

ALARM BELL!! This is his second term? The rest of the firemen are OK with a pedophile working next to them? Even in charge? I am sorry this REEKS!!! “I support the fire department and their decision to have him as chief,” Wagner told the Journal. “The firemen have always elected their own officers and that’s how it’s always been done. We don’t question their decisions.” Sorry, but I have always been under the impression that Policemen and Firemen would hate pedophiles. They are working for the city or town and are governed by laws. This Whole Dept. needs to be Investigated!!! Ding! Ding! Ding!

Just a coincidence? The VFD's address is an occult number: 330 Main St., Spartansburg, PA

In the OP article the mayor Ann Louise Wagner said:

“I support the fire department and their decision to have him as chief…The firemen have always elected their own officers and that’s how it’s always been done. We don’t question their decisions.”

What he was actually convicted of is IDSI, or involuntary deviate sexual intercourse. According to legal websites, in Pennsylvania “IDSI differs from rape by encompassing more sex acts, including penetration with foreign objects or sex with an animal.”

Article: Is Pennsylvania the center of the pedophile mafia?

"If the pedophile mafia operating at the highest echelons of the United States government had a central state, it might as well be Pennsylvania."

• [I found that article in this Voat post:] Philadelphia Regional Port Authority and the Heart of East Coast Pizzagate - Trafficking, PA State Corruption, Jerry Sandusky, and Ed Savitz. by @afterbernerthrowaway

This is one of those important stories that clearly points out how there are massive numbers of pedophiles lurking all around us, who provide a support system for fellow pedos who get caught.

HRC IS STILL FREE. OBAMA STILL FREE. ETC.. This pedo did his time , is honest about his crime and professes to save others. I don't know that I would want my fire chief to be a pedopile either but he did his time. The Mayor has put his re election on the line in support of this man . Just another way to look at things. Not trying to argue.

Just too disturbing for words.
