Oh, Jim, twisting the truth again. He reports on the HV News Facebook page:

Hyde Park Supervisor Tom Martino and his son William attacked HVN Editor Jim Langan and his wife Caroline Carey Thursday afternoon in a parking lot as they left a Chamber of Commerce ribbon cutting event in Hyde Park. Police were notified and both Martinos issued a warning to cease harrassing Mr. Langan. More in print Wednesday.

Really Jim. Well from what's been said around town is that his son called you a 'thief' outside the store. I do believe that his son was featured on the cover of his paper several weeks back. Could this be the 'just desserts' for placing the caption of 'LOSERS' over his photo?

It's also been said that William tossed change in Jim's direction and instructed him to 'pay his bills' as to the numerous judgements on file against both him and his wife. Jim doesn't have a very good track record with finances, given stealing and the federal tax lein he had places on his assets.

Poor Jim decided to call the police since he was slighted. Was it even a valid call to make? What was he requesting be done? Mr. Martino and his son be nice to him?

The word 'attack' in this case is taken very liberally in this case. Calling someone a thief that stole money and tossing change to him? It seems that Jim can dish it out but can't take it. From the chatter around town, Jim usually likes to verbally assault older senior citizens, both in person and in his paper. Get a thirty something year old call you out in public and humilate you by tossing change in your direction, it feels a little different, doesn't it.

Let this be a lesson to be learned. Every action has a consequence. If you're willing to play with fire, well then you should be willing to be burned. Mr. Langan is of the mindset that he can do whatever he wants to whomever he wants and there will no repercussions to him.

I can't wait to read what this week's edition says about this 'attack.'  I wonder if he will include this theiving past in the story as it did play a large part.

Langan is a thief and a coward. Grow up Langan.

Jim should be happy that someone threw money in his direction. Maybe he can start paying back some of his depts. I did not know that calling someone a thief and a deadbeat is a crime, it sounds more like freedom of speech something that a newspaper editor should respect.
