Mogadore's very own beloved Ritchie lost his job at Speedway, which we all know means so much to him. Ritchie was provoked by being called "retarded" and reacted as any other human being would. The fact the he was provoked should be taken into account. Ritchie has worked at Speedway for years, and loves the citizens of Mogadore, and we all love him too. It just isn't fair that Ritchie lose his job over some guy who called him the worst name you could ever call him.

The stories shared by the residents of Mogadore in the comments section highlight how deeply Ritchie is woven into the fabric of our daily lives. I am currently coordinating with local representatives to ensure that the circumstances surrounding his departure are fully understood. We continue to advocate for a fair review of this situation.

The overwhelming response from the community confirms how deeply Ritchie is valued by those he serves each day. This momentum demonstrates a collective refusal to accept an unjust outcome for a neighbor who has been a staple of Mogadore for so long.

Ritchie is a staple in this town. He has way more heart than the jerk who harassed him. Give his job back!

Ritchie is the best part of stopping at speedway. Whoever said that to him is scum. Bring him back!
