John M. Crea

[AllanY2525]

I read yesterday that there has been another incident with Crew and that there is a warrant out
for his arrest.

The cops need to find him - SOON - before he hurts himself or someone else.  Judge Millich said
the cops could take him to St. Elizabeth's and have a psych hold put oil him until he can be
evaluated. 

The news article said this new incident took place by his residence and that he was seen leaving
with a suitcase afterwards.

Now according to WFMJ Crea slapped a Deputy Sheriff while being fingerprinted at the jail.

I'm voting for him, what difference does it really make?

As far as I know he does not have a family for support nor does he have a care giver.

[AllanY2525]

If he has already been diagnosed with mental issues, has already been prescribed medications
and chose to either not take them, or chose to stop taking them then he should be held
accountable for that.


As far as him being a serious candidate for mayor -  "stick a fork in him....he's done".

So what ... DOES THAT JUSTIFY HIS ACTIONS?


What you didn't say is the fact that Crea is going to have to have a MENTAL-HEALTH EVALUATION.

"John M. Crea, a mayoral candidate and a regular at Holy Trinity Missionary Baptist Church on Parkcliff Avenue, became disruptive Sunday, slapping the walls and his head as well biting his fingers and making unusual statements before suddenly leaving, said the Rev. Mr. Macklin, the church's senior pastor.
Mr. Macklin also said Crea sent him about two dozen unusual text messages — about being in love with someone's daughter, paying his taxes, urging the pastor to "tell the clown like it is," complaining about politics, and asking if he's heard of the Four Seasons band — between 4:45 and 6 a.m. Sunday before the service.
The pastor said it's not out of the ordinary for Crea to send him "kind of rambling" texts, but between that and his behavior in church, Mr. Macklin decided he needed to end the service a few minutes early and contact Youngstown Municipal Court Judge Robert P. Milich.
The judge had ordered Crea to undergo a mental-health assessment and treatment after convicting him Sept. 19 of aggravated menacing and disorderly conduct.
That mental-health assessment is supposed to be today, Judge Milich said.
"He needs to follow treatment requirements, take his meds and make all of his appointments," he said of Crea. "If he doesn't, there will be [an arrest warrant] for him."
The judge said he called police asking officers to "keep an eye out" for him."

Does he attend this church often

According to a story in today's newspaper "John M. Crea, a mayoral candidate and a regular at Holy Trinity Missionary Baptist Church on Parkcliff Avenue...."

[Towntalk]

First: Holy Trinity Missionary Baptist Church is on the South Side, and obviously Crea doesn't either belong to it, nor does he attend services there, but what difference does that make ... he created a scene there which upset church members to the extent that Rev. Dr. Macklin called the judge to report it. No outsider has the right to walk into a Sunday church service and create a scene without there being consequences. Crea is luckey that Rev.Macklin didn't call the police.

Obviously you are seeking an excuse to justify Crea's actions, but there are none. This isn't the first time that Crea created a bizarre scene, and I doubt that it won't be his last.

If you want to see Crea elected Mayor of Youngstown, then God help the city.

Does he attend this church often or was he there looking for votes?
