They're clearly his groupies:

U put joey back in south philly and the crime down there will drop by 50% and thes reason i said this is has any1 been in south philly in the past 10 years? Its a war zone between 3 rd and broad streets from ellesworth to oregon...let him back all the property value will go up in south philly!!!!

Now I believe that the Feds are harassing this guy, but give me a fucking break. Joey Merlino is going to raise property values and lower the crime rate if he moves back to Philly?
