Last week's headlines centered on a daylight assault at the Lehigh Valley Mall's Lifestyle Center. The details were a little confusing...Seems one defendant was attacking another, for robbing him previously, while attempting to sell him stolen goods. Anyway, what got my attention was the juxtaposition of defendant and lifestyle. More and more these actors are becoming the news in the Lehigh Valley.
Some people blame the media, especially the Morning Call, for reporting on such happenings. I think that not to do so would be journalistically irresponsible. The valley is no longer Mayberry, we haven't been now for decades. For many of these characters, gangster seems to be the lifestyle of choice.
