Anti Albero Bloggers Planning To Disrupt Turkey Giveaway Tomorrow

"Just a heads up - I've been told that a couple of the other blogs are trying to organize a crowd to jeer and harrass Joe at the turkey giveaway. Some have even encouraged throwing rocks at him. They say it is because Joe is claiming to have paid for the turkeys when in actuality he only contributed a small portion of the purchase price. Good luck and Merry Christmas."

J. Thome

Editors Notes: Let it be known to all, Salisbury News paid 100% for all 300 turkeys being given away. If the Anti Albero Bloggers spent half as much time giving back as they spend tearing down, this would be a much better community to live.

Wow sure definately will show who is the least. If these anti Joe bloggers would do such a horrible act at an event to help needy families then God help them..Throwing rocks is child's play you so called "adults". Suppose you hit a small child or someone else for that matter..Id have law enforcement there and arrest those that throw them on the spot. Let them spend their Christmas in a holding cell thinking about their childish actions....Let Joe do his deed and help those that wont sit down to a nice holiday meal like most of you will....GROW UP!!!!!

I, personally, don't care who paid for them. The fact that you, Joe, are even participating is an illustration of your character as opposed to those who are harassing you. We should all do our part to help others less fortunate than ourselves- no matter how small. But thank you for using what you have been blessed with to help those who would otherwise go without.

Well I don't always agree with everything on this blog, but it IS a wonderful thing that you are helping the less fortunate by giving them turkeys, thank you so much for doing that.. At least you are MAN enough to not have a blog and hide behind a ficticious name. I applaud you for that. Merry Christmas, Joe.

Joe, I find it really hard to believe that anyone in "their right mind" would organize to ruin such a wonderful thing that you and Pohanka are doing for those of us in need. (Note anyone in "their right mind"). It sickens me beyond believe. Hopefully it doesn't come to this and your generous contribution to our community will go off without a hitch. If they do show up and act like a bunch of idiots, I'm most certain that Sheriff Mike Lewis will be happy to put them in jail. Thank you for doing this. It is greatly appreciated. Sincerely, Beth

If anyone sees a short fat man in a wheel chair hit him with a turkey and drop him off at accurate optical.

I hope that does NOT happen! How embarrassing to them...here at the holidays I can't imagine ANYONE being disrespectful to someone who gives so much to help those less fortunate...Joe, if they are there hold your head high, as I know you will, you've done a great thing and do you know how many people will appreciate what you are doing? I don't see where it matters WHO paid for the Turkeys anyway....Salisbury News is getting the word out they are there for those less fortunate....and just that fact alone speaks VOLUMES for Joe's character and I don't even like half the stuff posted on this site....

This is just crazy. Who do they think paid for the turkeys?

I hope they show up and get their butts locked up. That would make for a Merry Christmas for the rest of us who are sick and tired of their common, ignorant actions.

They need to get over themselves.

Joe you should bump this to the top all day so everyone can see what you are dealing with! Happy Holidays!

Hey Joe, why do you always 100% of the time, make sure you are somehow a victim. Get over yourself.

First and most importantly Joe, I want to say that we appreciate the generosity of your advertisers as well as yourself for this kind act.

On the flip side of this, I say come on to those individuals if you want. Imagine the pictures that Joe will be able to share with all of us. Then we will see who the real losers are. Just think, their faces plastered all over this website. Now that would be a Merry Christmas indeed. Particularly knowing that their butts would be arrested for assault by throwing rocks would make for even better photo opportunities. So come on you bunch of losers. I want to see you show up. I think that you might be surprised by the reaction that you get from the individuals who need the help and appreciate what they are doing. No one certainly wants the drama to overshadow your generosity; however, if they are stupid enough to show up I say bring it. I can't wait to see your mug shots.

Joe, does Jonathan Taylor qualify for a turkey? He is so used to freebies.

This is just disgusting that people have nothing better to do with their time! Get a life!! There are needy families out there and this is a wonderful thing. It doesn't matter WHO paid for the turkeys - it just matters who participates and helps the needy. If these animals do show up and do such a horrible thing - they are just a waste of space and hopefully after all is said and done - they are wasting their space in a jail cell!!

I think these cowards are just blowing smoke, no one will show up.

I disagree with 95% of Joe's views and I don't even celebrate Christmas (in Dec), but why one would attempt to disrupt a charity event is beyond me...
Who cares who paid for the turkeys?

Joe, I think its awesome that 300 families will have a hot meal during the holiday season. Thank you for taking time out of your holiday with your friends and family to help the less fortunate.

Don't worry they will not show up themselves because they hide behind silly masks and silly names. Believe me they do not want anyone to find out who they are.

Message to the Anti-Bloggers:

Look, we are the people you depend on. We cook your meals, we haul your trash, we connect your calls, we drive your ambulances. We guard you while you sleep. Do not... mess with us.

There are more of us than are of you. Also, remember we know what you look like. Time to play nice together, enough is enough!

Taylor is just mad that there might be food that he can't eat. I'm in agreement --- if these losers would just spend a bit of time HELPING others, instead of thinking of ways to disrupt the helping of others, imagine how much good could be done...just throw a couple of dozen jelly donuts down the street and these fat losers will be too distracted to remember their original plans...LOL!!!
