Surprise Surprise, police
Surprise Surprise,
police were tied down in Fenway and couldn't respond in time to catch the real trouble makers.
Small, Mobile, Effective, Smart. I think they need to take these words in consideration.
do you think they had 1000
do you think they had 1000 cops in one area? they did have small groups of cops that could quickly respond to different areas. it is just impossible to cover the whole are all at once. you don't know what you are talking about.
I'm willing to bet this
I'm willing to bet this didn't happen on the swank part of Newbury, but on the "other side" that connects to Brookline Ave. right before it goes over the Pike. I could be wrong, because there's no address given on the BPD blog.
Um yeah, because Best Buy
Um yeah, because Best Buy and Dunkin' Donuts are so swank!
If I was in that car, I
If I was in that car, I would have slammed down the gas pedal, killed the moron, and taken my chance with a jury. I bet he wouldn't jump on another car again.
The only trouble is, however
The only trouble is, however, that if you did that, you just might end up with more than a jury, if you get the drift.
Christ..I mean..just WHO do these people think they are?
Christ...I mean...just who do these people think they are, believing that celebrating the Red Sox victory gives them the right to vandalize people's cars?!?Really...Just what do these idiots think they're trying to prove by those kinds of actions/behaviours. They need to be arrested and thrown in the slammer for afew hours, because they're giving Boston a black eye and a bad name. These people need to grow up already, instead of acting like big babies.
Yeah. What's so fun about
But it's so much fun to rip your own clothes off and set them on fire while the police force you to the ground.
(just kidding)
Won't someone think of the
Won't someone think of the children?!
