It is apparent that Manno is a Build Lakewood associate and was likely sent here to make posts that others dared not make because it would expose their utter disregard and contempt for the average Lakewood citizen, the Observer, and prominent critics of the hospital deal. His first post here was to attack Brian Essi and the Lakewood Observer, his second was to promote a video of Build Lakewood member Jay Carson, and his third post demanded an apology for Build Lakewood supporter David Stein. Next were posts supporting Build Lakewood supporter and council member Bullock.
The Build Lakewood cheerleading and rhetoric continued and he posted on election night, at 8:25, BEFORE THE ELECTION WAS COUNTED, that Summers had won and ended his post with a gleeful "Goodbye Lakewood Hospital!" Hmmm.
His post of November 5 stated:
The Battle for Lakewood Hospital is over. Build Lakewood has won.
Clearly, he is here representing and supporting the agenda of Build Lakewood.
His next few posts illuminated his real mission - attack Jim O'Bryan and the LO. In four separate posts, he called for O'Bryan to be replaced as publisher of the LO, suggested that the LO advertisers be boycotted, taunted that the paper was unable to publish when he didn't see the Nov 24 edition, and then insinuated that the LO leadership and staff were "not transparent."
Manno would post these provocative posts and then disappear from the conversation. Why? Because he isn't here for the conversation. He's here to "stir the pot."
His last two posts were so outrageous and egregious that the thread had to be deleted. He used the occasion of the tragic death of a young mother to further his own agenda. Some of you may have seen the posts, but I truly hope you were spared. They were despicable.
Pasquale Manno, in your quest to promote the agenda of Build Lakewood, you have crossed the line. You have used a suffering family as an opportunity to "score points" for your side. You are sick and obsessed, and obviously stop at nothing for your own gratification.
I hope that Build Lakewood publicly disassociates themselves from you and your activities. We know why you posted that, and you made a serious miscalculation.
