  • Internal Strife at CeaseFirePA?

    —Snowflakes in Hell

    Couldn’t help but notice at last night’s Radnor Township Board meeting: Diane Edbril, former Executive Director of CeaseFirePA, shows up late to meeting, and sits on the side that had all the gun owners, rather than sitting with her fellow CeaseFirePA activists.
