I think he finally got behind
I think he finally got behind the point of said fence.
Enquiring minds want to know
Where on his body did said impalement occur?
Are there gates
That they lock at night or something?
I never endeavored to visit at a late night hour, because I figured that wasn't the point of the Public Garden.
I don't think they lock the gates?
Anyway, if this happened on the Charles Street side, there's only three entrances -- one each at the NE/SE corners and one halfway between, and it's probably a couple hundred yards in between. I can easily envision a young man who's either had a few or honestly just generally being a youthful idiot deciding it'd be faster (or more impressive to his buddies) to just try to hop over.
I remember the gates being locked once or twice
But that was due to special events in the area.
The Public Garden does have some spots which are pretty at night -- like the bridge or the equestrian statue of Washington with the FiDi skyline behind it. It's also useful as a cut-through when walking from the Back Bay to Park Street and vice versa.
Did anyone hear the words "Hold my beer!"
before this occurred?
So when will city council act
So when will city council act to remove this attack fence?
Seems to be...
...quite a spike in stupid behavior.
To be fair, he had considered if he should even try it
He's was on the fence about it.
I tried to come up with another pun
But got stuck.
That's OK
It's the spear it that counts.
Maybe
He had some stolen goods and was in a rush to get to the fence.
Heard moments before...
His buddies were saying he has no balls when challenged to scale the fence...and now he proved them right.
