The Pennsylvania borough of Berwick is once again reeling after police say a man plowed his car into the Intoxicology Department restaurant and bar, killing a 50-year-old woman and injuring 17 others. Police say the suspect then drove a mile away before he repeatedly beat and killed his mother with a hammer. Social media videos show the bar was holding a benefit for the family members of a deadly house fire that killed ten people the next town over. Volunteer firefighter Harold Baker lost eight of his family members, including his son and daughter, in the fire, according to the New York Times. Last night, Baker responded to the second incident before learning his own relatives were injured at the crash site.

#Pennsylvania #CarCrash #Drivers
prayers to all this is so heart wrenching and unfathomable to think someone had it in there mind to do what he did and how sad to lose so many family members in a fire 🥲
It has been a horrible time for my community. Thank you for the thoughts and prayers. The people of Berwick and Nescopeck need them right now.
@Crystal Long yes it is and still praying for all that is needed for everyone and along with prays of protection to get everyone through this God bless you all Crystal
@Elizabeth Huntley thank you dear. There are still 5 people in critical condition the rest have either been treated and released or are to be released soon
@Crystal Long glad to hear the good report knowing with there faith and we all praying things will work out for all so bless you all as we all look for a brighter day after the storm ,
Hmmm firefighter whose houses burns down killing a large number of people? Not suspicious at all….
I guess no one noticed that we just had a full moon. I don’t know why every journalist in the country doesn’t keep a moon calendar on their phones.
Literally unbelievable.
That is what the whole community of Berwick and Nescopeck is saying right now. Stuff like this doesn’t really happen here. We have had the occasional issues with a drug bust or a robbery but murder is something that hasn’t happened here in a long time
Wtf ..
People are sick. This is why I carry a gun, every single day.
And you’re not a military or well train to use that gun you’re harming yourself and others as well
Take him out to see and feed him to sharks
Poor guy.
No ones going to take a stand till there’s another oaklahoma city situation
Awesome👍
Anchor baby+incel makes for a bad combo
Fry him.
I can tell you the motive for these killings. It’s a willingness to hate.
💔💔💔💔🥺🥺🥺 why is life so ……
I have asked myself this question so much lately 😢 not just recently with the fire and now this but the last 4 months of 2021 were tough for my family personally. I lost my 14 year old goddaughter in September of last year and then my younger brother in December of last year.
This makes perfect sense. Short people are very angry 😠.
This man is a dwarf suffering from napoleon syndrome.
WE LIVE IN THE GENERATION THAT TEASE AND LAUGH AT AMERICANS.
The rest of the world use the word ‘American’ as an indicator of stupidity.
e.g. What? are you joking, that’s sounds American.
Pennsylvania is a mess.
What is it going to take to start responding to domestic terror as we do to foreign terror?
The leadership and bondage to Capitalist Pursuit has betrayed Society. WE are Lost
And of course it won’t get as much attention from the media as it would’ve if a White guy had done it.
Maybe he set the house fire too
He was ruled out as a suspect in that.
@Crystal Long Good to know. Stranger Things have happened.
Sir, are you sure you want the reinforced bumpers? 😅
He was driving a snowplow🤔
I’m not normally for the death penalty, but this is one of those cases that I say fry this POS.
Let’s ban vehicles
He looks like a troll
Some pedophiles think if you pay the mother you own the child. Many mothers took the money. And deserve the hammer
We gotta ban assault cars
That is a pos. Condolences to the families.
Liberals do we start banning cars? Or should we start focusing on mental health?
A Vietnamese guy just did this kind of thing here in Grand Rapids MI last week.
To all parents, please do not abuse your children! They may end up as monsters and commit this kind of crime.
Eh… it’s not all abuse. It’s also the lack of discipline. This dude is Gen Z. Gen Z is having major issues accepting reality. They have no empathy for others it seems.
@J҉O҉K҉E҉R҉ And empathy is usually learned at home!
Trump was right about the wall!
Not just a burgundy suv.
I’m starting to worry.. first Anne heche.. then some dude at the white house crashes is into the barrier.. and now this.. random
😔
Was the driver vaxed?
What the heck does that have to do with it?
That is their Monday, killing people, great.
Good God this country’s mental health issues are out of control at this point
Yeah, death penalty
Maga
Why is everyone using their vehicle as a battering ram on innocent people. If you want to drive your car into other minding their own. Go drive off a cliff and do it to yourself..
I have to wonder if this guy that drove into the crowd and then killed his own mother had something to do with the fire.
No he didn’t. Police have ruled him out as a suspect in the fire. They have another suspect for that
We really need to change our laws for mental health in the United States. We need to be able to force people on lockdown to get help. We have too many choices this kid needs to be locked up forever
Dam
Terrorist.
Violent criminals are protected. We have a health issue in this country. Want a fix? Don’t ever exercise and eat burger king every day. Youll turn out like this guy. By the way, look up Adrian Reyes. The photo they have of him is probably from 6 years ago. Media is a bunch of losers.
When it rains, it pours
How many of you are for Gun control?
And how many of you, remember us, the pro 2A people telling you not only will criminals still have and get guns, but people will just use knives or cars?
God don’t like them lolol
I will pray for you!
My deepest sympathy for the victims and their families prayers for healing in my jesus name amen
Good news for you then. Some of the people who were injured less severely have already been released or should be with in the next few days.
have a feeling…higher than a kite
He was tested by the police when they arrested him. He came back clean.
@Crystal Long wow…i hope it wasn’t on purpose
@Robert Brown he was quoted in the newspaper saying he did it on a whim because he was frustrated
@Crystal Long so sad
Tired of this already.
When will this stop….
This country needs to stop traumatizing me. Crazy people are being produced in this “great nation”.
And Guns are the problem???
Heavans! Imagine what damage would have been done if the car was fun semi-automatic with high capacity fuel tanks and arm-brace-steering-wheel!
No place for jokes! Still funny though!
Is not a fun thing common
Why are we giving trials to these cases? Amend the constitution or whatever but string up all mass killers immediately.
Why do these things keep happening
Asking myself that all the time now a days
The man said I never seen them in the way.
Oh he saw them. Eyewitnesses stated he stopped in the middle of the entrance to the parking lot, revved the engine, and then sped into the crowd. He knew they were there.
Ban vehicles & hammer
When are we going to do the right thing and ban all cars? This is just one of almost 50,000 deaths caused every year by legally purchased cars in this country! Even if it saves just one life, we need to ban all cars! Don’t complain about your rights and freedom, just give them all up!
Men ☕️
My God. It’s seriously praying time !!!
How about reporting on the border crisis is this all you all can do
The overall crime rate in the United States is 47.70,out of 189 countries!,🤣🤭
Time to ban all cars
Another defective young male wreaking havoc.
In my home town Ever sence they Legalized pot murders and Domestic violence and assault,
Pot is a mellow drug. I’ve never seen anyone get violent from smoking it.
@YY4Me133 if I sell you some Pot That mellows you out and we meet in a down low place I just might decide to take your money instead, how you going to feel then ??? Or I might be feeling really mellow while driving and I run a stop light and tebone you at 45 mph what you going to do ????
Or I just might smoke my pot in front of my children and get them started on a future of mellowness, what you think , is that real mellow of me ????
Let’s get the ban the cars because of the mass vehicle attacks. Sue the carmakers and the dealer who sold them. Blame the car not the person.
I am just lost for words! What could make someone do something so evil for no reason?
No empathy comes to mind. Gen Z has been raised in such a way that they have no empathy or understanding for other people.
“PREP 4 NOT GOOD, BUT TERRIBLE TIMES”
2nd Timothy 3 (NIV/KJV)
[1]But Mark This: There Will be Terrible Times in the Last Days.
[2]People will be Lovers of Themselves, lovers of Money, Boastful, Proud, Abusive, Disobedient to their parents, Ungrateful, Unholy,
[3]Without Love, UnForgiving, Slanderous, Without Self-Control, Brutal, NOT Lovers of the Good,
[4]Treacherous, Rash, Conceited, Lovers of Pleasure rather than Lovers Of GOD — [5]Having a Form of godliness But Denying Its POWER. Have NOTHING to Do with Such People.
[6]They are the kind who Worm their way into homes and gain Control over Gullible (Silly) women, Who are Loaded Down with Sins and are Swayed (go Every which way) By ALL Kinds of Evil Desires,
[7]Always Learning (Studying Many Doctrines) But NEVER Able to Come to a Knowledge (Understanding) Of The TRUTH (This IS The END of This Age and the Beginning of the One to Come)
😴💤💤💤💤💤💤💤💤💤💤💤💤
He’s probably just ‘patriotic’
Funny ..the world is a Cesspool… high rent…gas.. homelessness .. . lying politicians ..useless wars.. senile presidents.. and yet people ” we don’t know why this is happing ”…people are fed up…snapping ..going insane. .some humans have tipping points.
On an odd note here. Has anyone noticed of late all the trouble like this is caused by young people, usually in their 20s?
Also, since we’ve been seeing more cars used in such things. Should we start expecting calls for assault car bans ?
Never vote republican again.
Nobody is looking at the medication 💊 😕 😒 🙄 😐 😑
Oh my, this is just horrible. What has gotten into people anymore? Tragedy upon tragedy upon tragedy. Mental health is in serious crisis in our country.
Ah Democrats ! Gotta love them .

@YY4Me133 “The BIBLE” Greatest Book Ever Written.
Last Days Prophecy!
Babylon The Great (America) has Fallen.
WISDOM OF SOLOMON 13:1 Surely vain are all men by nature, who are ignorant of ELOHIM, and could not out of the good things that are seen know him that is: neither by considering the works did they acknowledge the workmaster:
All Praises To The Most High and his Son, The Black Messiah.
ELOHIM Vengeance Is Upon America The Wicked!!!
@Carolyn Cox
🤣🤣 You’re funny. 🤣🤣
That house fire should be investigated fully and not swept under the rug just because it’s the firefighter’s family. I guarantee that fire was deliberately set and someone is collecting a huge payout in life insurance policies.
It’s a very poor area. Look how many people were residing in that house. I doubt any of them had insurance. So sad 🙏🏻
The perp looks like a malignant troll.
Think of the story of Job. The Bible shows us how to be strong
Where’s their good now?
We don’t need thoughts and prayers … he obviously dosnr care we need people to step up get those with the ability to fund proper mental health programs and facilities instead of ignoring vulnerable people which keeps resulting in tragedy
This is the America You Wanted !
Or did you think Supporting NAZI would lead to Peace and Love which NAZI are so Famous For.
This is happening every day,ban cars.
No. No, no it’s the cars fault. Sue the car company, hold them accountable for there machine. They must be targeting a certain group of people in there advertising. This must be stoped NOW. I demand action. No more cars. Its not safe for me or my people. Damit take action. Everyone that keeps there cars are now criminals.. off with there heads. CAR VIOLENCE. Take them all away. Car crime… that’s it all the drivers are criminal now. Why do you need them. A horse and buggy is safer or just walk. This way everyone is safe..
Ban all car’s
This is why mental healthcare should be completely subsidized by the US govt. no matter the income. Thankfully, starbucks pays for 20 counseling sessions a year. If the federal govt offered that to everyone, including people visiting the US, we would all be better off. I’m sure there were signs that something was wrong before this happened.
We’re under mental attack
Denver had an RV plow into a donut shoppe 4 people hurt including the driver, a customer and two shoppe workers.
Ban cars. We need car control.
1:02 Here’s why it’s happening.
(1 John 5:19) “the whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one.”
(2 Timothy 3:1-5) “But know that critical times hard to deal with will be here in the last days. For [people] will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, disloyal, having no natural affection, not open to any agreement, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, without the love of goodness, betrayers, headstrong, conceited, lovers of pleasures rather than lovers of God, having an appearance of godliness but proving false to its power.”
The Bible, long ago, accurately described the behavior of most people worldwide today during the “last days.”
Vault 7
First generation raised on violent video games, violent TV, movies, websites, all day long they see images of violence and hear violent language.
That’s so crazy they use to camp at my campground
I’m really saddened by this incident not only because someone died but some of my extended family that had a 4 year old and a 2 year old was almost hit by that car and killed
