It was just a Computer that TMM was trying to throw out the window

He probably spent hours

He probably spent hours wandering around lost in the miserable layout of City Hall, and went bonkers. RIP

At least Charlie eventually got off the streetcar.

Local 718 tweets the guy was on an eighth-floor ledge on the inner part of the Congress Street side of the building around 2 p.m. and that fire crews deployed a large air bag in case he jumped.

He demanded to see Menino

The Globe reports he repeatedly yelled: "Yo quiero ver a Menino!"

TMM? The Mayor Menino??

But nobody sees The Menino! Not no way! Not no how!
