Story doesn't add up: It's another "ambulance trapped by protests" story
This sounds like a fire chief who wanted to help push another "ambulance trapped by protests" story.
Where was any of that information from the chief? Instead we're told BMC was closed to him due to traffic, South Shore was closed to him due to the traffic he transited to get to where he ended up going. Items that don't make sense like a 10 minute travel time from there to BMC. No medflight called in (they had 20 minutes while they extracted him from the car).
And all of this announced via a semi-cryptic Facebook post from the Union's page (with an odd disclaimer that this was the "opinion of individuals not even the whole union"). Which got picked up by local media and turned into an interview where the chief (and everyone else) gets to blame the protesters for this ambulance going to the closest hospital instead of Trauma 1 downtown, 25 miles away.
Sure, there are lots of specialty reasons you might go to one ER over another, but those weren't given here...while anything else but that was given for why it's the protesters at fault instead.

I-93 Black Lives Matter Statement
bostonglobe:
Utter BS
Okay I have a few moments to kill.. so why not poke some holes of this bag of crap.
First off, you're basing your stance off of this picture. You don't know where that ambulance was, it could have been stuck before or after where the entrance to the zipper lane is. And if you haven't already noticed, there's no breakdown lane, so if traffic isn't moving, it's just not going to move, zipper lane or no zipper lane.
Sorry I don't by it was fabricated by police. It's wasn't just this ambulance, but others too. This is utter BS, and this so called "Black Lives Matters" group is trying to deflect it away from them. Regardless it wasn't just this one ambulance, but every single person who has business in Boston was affected.
And as far as their statement.. Another series of crap trying to be funneled under "Black Lives Matter". You are aware that almost all the people that were arrested have records? Anyone wanna guess for what? ALL of them have been arrested for being apart of the Occupy Momvement and/or other anarchist movements. Yeah so this group wasn't even apart of the original "BlackLivesMatter" but some anarchist group trying to push their agenda further.
And nothing says this more than
This is pure and simple an anarchist statement.
These people could care less about BlackLives. Tomorrow there could be a rash of kitten killing, and these same people would be doing the same crap in protest of kitten killing, only to further their own personal anarchist agenda. Sad that people would take a cause that means so much to so many people, and turn it into their own personal agenda.
It's also sad when the community they are supposedly supporting do not have their own support. News story after news story, the leaders in black community itself in Boston has condemned the actions of these folks. And most didn't even know this was going on? Want to tell me how this was a black lives matters, when NO BLACK PEOPLE where notified, and ALL THE PROTESTERS WERE WHITE. (sorry just stating you are diverse is about as effective as the KKK stating they are diverse also)
So once again, this is nothing more than a smoke shield of another issue to mask people's real intentions. Sad to say that some people would rather further their anarchist agendas than actually do real work, and work together to solve problems. But since this movement now has been taken over by Anarchists, they don't care, they don't want to work it out, they just want to cause trouble.
Sad, but what these folks don't realize is that now, any ounce of respect people have for this movement is now gone. The good and the bad now are lumped together. Thanks anarchists for taking something was a good, strong movement, and turning into useless garbage. (like you did with the Occupy movement)
