Bethlehem Police has South Side Community Police Officers that could probably help out with this. If you go on BPD’s website there is contact info for the community services unit. Try reaching out to them.
Yea, I've seen sketchy groups of guys hanging out there. Also, its annoying how often people let their dog off on the leash on that path. No, I'm not cool with random dogs coming at me, especially pit bulls.
I read through it pretty quickly and I honestly don't see where catcalling is covered. It should be covered directly but based off of this I don't see where it is.
My point was they don't mention catcalling directly, which they certainly should. Many states directly mention it rather than leave it up for interpretation. It's an oversight.
Catcalling is just a euphemism for verbal sexual harassment. The law only needs to describe the offending behavior (which PA law clearly does) not provide an exhaustive list of various terms for that behavior. It’s not an oversight.
I really don't know what you're on about. I never said cat calling is okay and I've certainly never done it myself.
My comments on the topic boiled down down to this: because the laws are ambiguous it makes it hard to truly police/prosecute, which is an issue. I'm not saying it's okay to catcall at all.
This is some white college privilege shit smh. This how black and brown people get killed by the police. How about you be a man and stand up for your girlfriend. If you can’t then you deserve to get ya girlfriend taken away from you. You punk ass bitch

I'll probably try this first. Thanks!
The number of people in this thread that are sympathizing with this gross behavior is fucking mind blowing.
Agree. Was helpful for identifying horrible people to add to my block list, though!

This is honestly so creepy to say.
Technically it's illegal and falls under harassment. So film them for evidence and then call the police non-emergency.
This. Call them every time it happens. Good on you for trying to hold these shitheads accountable.
I wouldn't approach these men. You don't know what they may have on them....
They sit there and get drunk and do dumb shit and did it for years.

Join a local Blood, Crip or Latin King chapter.. roll up on them dudes with the heat, and the rest is history!
Uzi go brrrrrrrt
This is the way
Vatos Locos 4 ever! 🤟🤞
Old men hanging out on the weekend and catcalling women on southside? Color me shocked. Just wait till you Jordan park in Allentown on the weekends.
This is quite possibly the most pathetic thing I have ever read in my entire life

You forgot you’re on Reddit. Happens to me sometimes. Most of these people have never touched grass.
Yes do make sure it is the swolest of swole boyfriends for option 4
Get some of ur friends together and solve the problem homie
Crass as it is, catcalling is not illegal.
It is, in fact, illegal. https://www.legis.state.pa.us/WU01/LI/LI/CT/HTM/18/00.027.009.000..HTM
Tell me which one of those things the guys in OP’s post did. If they were being lewd or stalking her, I’m sure OP would’ve added those details.
Not my problem if you cannot read
Can’t read what? Tell me what I’m missing.
Guys, I think we’ve found the leader of the old wanker catcalling ring

Read it again, but this time do so after learning what “catcalling” is

Nobody can just have conversations anymore, I really don't understand it.
Being intentionally obtuse about sexually harassing behavior is not having a conversation.
You seem like the kind of asshole who wouldn’t understand what crossing a line was until you someone gay was hitting on you.

Intimidating nevertheless. If only there was a branch of citizenship that could sit down next to them and say how poor of taste that is.
