Surprisingly, not Fayette county:

A Westmoreland County man on a 68-mile crime spree through five counties Wednesday called 911 and threatened to “play demolition derby” with several police cars that were chasing him before his arrest in Blair County, according to court records.
Eric J. Hageder, 28, of New Florence was arrested after the chase along Interstate 99 near Tyrone about 5 a.m. He is accused of robbing a convenience store in Indiana County, stealing a former girlfriend’s car in Cambria County, taking a pickup truck from a man he beat with a wrench at a Sheetz store in Altoona and then leading police on a 16-mile chase.
This is an awesome reminder to never send people editable files:

When Redditor GloriousGherkins was delivered his lease to sign by his landlord, it was sent in a Word document instead of a .pdf file, meaning GloriousGherkins could alter the text in any way he wanted.
So the crafty renter decided to sneak in an extra clause, stating that the landlord must provide birthday cakes to the renters.
Tenacious, courageous, a man of conviction, disciplined, fearless, reasonable, ethical, uncompromising, focused, and more. He is uniquely equipped to fight an open war against monumentally powerfully enemies of our Constitutional government.
Trump is a man who is easily disparaged. He does not hide in his cocoon but stands forcefully in full view of his detractors and friends. He is precisely the strong independent that can bring down the establishment.
Was he a man of conviction when he was against H1Bs and H2Bs, or when he was for them?
Was he uncompromising when said everything was negotiable?
Who are you trying to convince? I have stated my position, firmly and clearly. Are you accusing me of stupidity, duplicity or foolishness? Surely you understand I have examined these and other issues to my satisfaction. Is it that you cannot tolerate someone honestly and firmly supporting Trump?
Tenacious - He has a bombastic personality and stubbornness that can reasonably be described as tenacious, but then Ted Cruz stood against the leadership of both parties in the Senate and held firm even when most of the rest of his colleagues rolled over for Obama.
courageous - How courageous was it to refuse to participate in a debate simply because Fox wouldn't kowtow to his demand to remove Megyn Kelley from the moderator panel?
a man of conviction - I have yet to see a single principle (other than his own aggrandizement) to which he demonstrates any conviction. he says he is pro-life but he believes Planned Parenthood does great things; he says he is committed to gun-rights and is a member of NRA, but he supported the so-called assault weapons ban;
disciplined - his vacuous vulgarity in response to any kind of criticism or challenge is the antithesis of discipline.
fearless - he is fearless when surrounded by his security guards, but is he even capable of sitting down face to face and having a conversation without shouting down his opponents? that is a trait of a coward who has no confidence in his ideas.
reasonable - reasonable people can articulate the validity of their ideas (with some specifics rather than just flowery hyperbole) rather than resorting to ridicule and name-calling. Trump is exactly like Obama in how he mocks and vilifies those who deign to disagree with him.
ethical - Trump University -- which he had to rename because including the word "University" in the name was fraudulent -- belies the notion that Trump has any ethics at all. This "institute" is a con that preys on the poor and unfortunate by promising gullible "students" that if they pay for the seminars and courses, where they get an opportunity to learn about more expensive seminars and courses, they will learn how to become wealthy real estate investors like The Don.
uncompromising - his own book "The Art of the Deal" boasts about what a dealmaker he is and how everything is negotiable. He takes advantage of illegal immigrant labor in building and operating his casinos, but has based his whole campaign on how he will get rid of illegal immigration and make Mexico build the wall to secure our border, but now is singing the praises of H1B1 visas because we need more tech workers while at the same time deploring Disney for replacing American workers with H1B1 visa immigrants.
focused - he can't finish the sentence of one insult before blurting out a different insult, and then he can't finish that insult without interjecting a comment about how smart, talented, and well-endowed he is. His "focus" makes my golden retriever's ADHD look like a zen master.
Trump can never be counted on to "bring down the establishment" because he has played the establishment for decades to benefit his own interests. His contributions of over $100K to the Clinton Foundation should be enough evidence to anyone that thinks he is taking on the establishment that his whole campaign is a fraud.
How ridiculous is it that we almost need to put the candidates into soundproof booths and only turn on their microphones when they are asked a question??!!
My my. Such a tirade. Surely you are gasping for breath (and grabbing at straws).
Has it dawned upon you that there are intelligent people who see Trump in a very different light? All of your accusations are personal attacks or hostile interpretations.
I get it. You do not like Trump. Fine. I do like him. Lambasting and hostility against Trump simply strengthens my conviction that he is precisely the right man for the job.
There is nothing personal in my post — toward you or toward Trump. I understand you believe in him, and that is not a reflection on you or your character.
You mentioned the principles (or qualities) that you see in Trump, and I responded with my opinion of the degree to which those principles apply to Trump. Nothing I posted was a personal attack on Trump, but either citation of facts about those qualities or my opinion of them.
His openly declared statement that everything is negotiable and his position even on immigration “is changing” is factual; pointing it out is neither a personal attack nor hostile. The statements about Trump University — renamed Trump Entrepreneurial Institute — were factual statements, borne out by the stories of its former students and the fact that it shut down operations in Texas rather than incorporate any changes required to comply with state law. Pointing those facts out is neither a personal attack nor hostile.
I recognize that I am unlikely to change your mind about Trump, and that is not my intention; but I will offer my opinions, backed up with facts as I can, as to why I believe he is not the right man for the job. At this point, the ONLY candidate that I trust with the issue of selecting federal and supreme court judges — IMO the SINGLE MOST CRITICAL ISSUE facing the country in this election — is Ted Cruz.
I am speaking for anyone who has ears to hear. The product, the persona of “Trump” that is being sold does not bear up to any close examination when compared to his actual behavior or history.
You are of course, free to support whom you want, but I don’t see this ending well. At all.
Very. Shock collars would be entertaining, too.
did you see the stories about the commercial breaks in the debate? during the commercial breaks, Cruz danced with his little girl and played with his kids on the stage.
No, I didn’t see that - how sweet.
You know the first time Trump interrupts Clinton during a debate it’s going to be the “male chauvinist pig shot heard round the world.”
Remember when her senate opponent (Laslo?) walked toward her to show her something and it was reacted to like he was fixing to assault her?
Trump was printing out pages about his BBB rating of Trump University and thrusting it at the moderators.
No, seriously.
Here’s something else to think about re electability. If hillary,God willing, is indicted, and replaced by the Dems with Eliz warren, Trump would have a very tough time against her bc all of the bombs he has to hurl at Hillary would be for naught. Will he attack Hillary for being a fake indian? at Trump candidacy would motivate the left to turn out in droves to prevent it, and they LUUUUUV lizzie. A trump candidacy will not turn conservatives out in droves.
Do you like the childish taunts and phrases Trump uses? Do you like the vulgar comments he made about Romney?
