Delco Council Told ‘Jihadist Graffiti’ At Don Guanella Buildings — Delaware County Council, tonight, June 5, was told that “jihadist graffiti” was found in one of the former Don Guanella buildings on the county’s Delco Woods park.
The site is being considered by the county for a mental facility but many suspect it there are plans to use it to house illegals.
Charlie Alexander of Marple told Council in the first round of questions of finding graffiti saying “death to infidels” in one of the buildings. He displayed a picture of graffiti which also included an anarchist symbol.
He said the building was unsecured and easy to enter. Alexander asked why Council is letting the facilities rot and why doesn’t the community have access to either the basketball court or a swimming pool on the site.
Jimmy Small of Marple told Council he was with Alexander when they found the graffiti. He said they saw a yellow Kraft bus leaving the property.
Howard Alexander, Charlie’s father and a contractor, noted that water and electricity remain on at the property. He said the buildings are in such poor repair it would not be cost-effective to renovate them. He recommended they be torn down.
Kevin Corrigan (phonetic) of Marple said he was ashamed at the anti-Biden clothing some in the audience was wearing but expressed despair the Council is willing to break their promise to keep Don Guanella a park. He said they have a “constituency of none” on the matter.
Kathy from Haverford noted that Councilman Kevin Madden had an article in the Delaware County Daily Times in which he is now saying a mental facility would house but 16 persons. The original estimate had been 28.
Joe Finio of Marple Township made the important observation that the county was sure fighting hard for 16 measly beds, when those few beds could be easily placed at Fair Acres. He astutely commented that all the acrimony and legal expenses were not worth 16 beds and that there must be other reasons the county is so determined to have their way in this fight.
