Don’t underestimate the power of the police unions.

Please just leave the state

It was supposed to be 2021 originally. Though clearly the essential National security argument was bogus because the law was passed in 2005.

Let in by a)Cops who were getting sprayed in the face by chemical irritants and beaten with brass knuckles, or b)Individuals illegally inside a building.

Well a few screws got loose years ago

Subsidized public housing that is usually poorly maintained, located in an undesirable neighborhood, lacking adequate heating and air conditioning for the climate, etc.

Once the city tears down these housing projects and replaced them with luxury apartments, you can’t live there on a lower salary and need the things I mentioned to live in the city comfortably (as this subreddit defines it).

Rich parents, rich spouse, biotech, finance, attorney, investments, doctor, high up on state government payroll, the projects.

How did he only get six years for abduction, drugged rape, false imprisonment, assault, and forcing someone to commit a sex act on an animal?

Yes, I believe they do. These scumbags want to violently disrupt American society to enforce their own political worldview. That's called domestic terrorism.

From Boston Children's Hospital:

>The center currently offers vaginoplasty, metoidioplasty, phalloplasty, chest reconstruction, breast augmentation, facial harmonization and other gender affirmation surgeries to eligible patients. We are guided by the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) standards and other criteria to surgically treat people who are stable in their gender identity and have documentation of persistent gender dysphoria. You do not need to be a GeMS patient to have surgery at the center. All genital surgeries are only performed on patients age 18 and older.

So to set the record straight, these are adults deciding to "castrate" themselves. The party of personal freedom, liberty, and "don't tread on me" is awfully interested in the genitals of adults (who they claim are children, making it a bit weird). If someone can go to Texas at age 18 and buy an AR-15 without a license, they should be able to come to Massachusetts and get their own vagina or penis if they want one. I doubt Texas man has ever been to MA.

If anyone is doing harm to children, it is the Texas police who made up numerous stories to explain why they didn't have the courage to shoot Salvador Ramos. No to trans health, yes to letting kids bleed out in school. Make it make sense.

Well if you go around acting like you're in Singapore there will definitely be lots of thefts.

I find it funny that a university would make such a show of using "the risks COVID-19 poses to our campus community" to justify or contextualize decisions after ending social restrictions in campus life. Like don't they know that college students regularly engage in activities where they are close to other students? Yes, it's not some SEC school, but still. Someone from Cambridge sitting at an MIT library table is much less likely to transmit COVID or any illness than people dancing at a rager.

​

I'd also like to hear more about the "security enhancements." Is there an ongoing or new threat to MIT students from a security perspective that wasn't there before COVID or in the past generally? Massachusetts in general and Cambridge in particular don't have a ton of crime, and the public access hours will probably be sufficient security, no?

Even the Boston "wimp" who turns on the heat before the Red Sox season ends is braver than people from South Texas/South Florida who start fussing when it gets below 60.

Personally I'd rather hack my own firewood and set up a wood stove in my kitchen than suffer in the cold. And as others have commented, once the pipes burst you're not brave, you're just stupid.

While some people turn it into a war of wills, others have to pick and choose whether there's heat or food for dinner.

>We’re getting people to expect two years of major shutdowns.

Why doesn't this country have any pride in having functioning public transit, or infrastructure in general? Boston is one of a few US cities with the gift of a comprehensive public transit system - and we've seemingly done everything wrong, ignored needed repairs, and then turned to shutting down entire lines for a month and not even solving all the problems. We don't need another city in the US with a pet-project light rail and a useless bus-only system.

Obviously this is a first world problem, but if we can't get trains to go on tracks without problems that need 730 days to repair, how are we ever going to solve major issues facing the city, such as systemic inequalities? We should round up all the MBTA employees and send them to Tokyo for a month. I don't even use the decrepit T, but the kinds of issues the system has are unacceptable. In Japan people would be in prison for this kind of continued neglect and malfeasance, but evidently no number of excuses are too many in Boston. Maybe a few days out at the Souza Four Seasons Resort in scenic Shirley would do the trick.

When will people take pride in the T and fix the damn problems for once? The trains breaking down is one thing, but we've had people dragged to death by the trains, trains catching fire and filling with smoke, derailments, and a nasty FTA report detailing the lack of safety culture on the T. Meanwhile, as detailed in said report:

>During the on-site portion of the SMI, all levels of the organization, from leadership to frontline workers, expressed surprise and occasional alarm at the MBTA’s declining safety performance but tended to view incidents as “one of a kind” or “freak accidents” rather than the result of systemic failures in operating procedures, training, staffing, and supervision

The best time to fix these problems was during routine maintenance that never happened about 15 years ago.

They were worse in the 80s

You’ve been trespassed from Texas

He doesn’t make a great case for attempting to cover up when he’s still exposed when responding officers arrive.

>The children repeatedly told interviewers, including Kelley, that nothing happened to them, that there were no secret rooms, and there was no clown. However, the questioning continued and eventually the children claimed all these things happened.

Either Gerald and Violet threatened the children to not say anything, or the prosecutors were really obsessed with getting a false confession from children to frame someone for child sex abuse. Why would the prosecutors desire the latter? But given the facts it seems the latter is more probable.

I don't really have an opinion about this case because every time I read about it I get more confused.

Reports now say the vehicle was in the storage room behind the back wall of the storefront. So someone, from the bend in the plaza road, drove across 30 feet of an entrance plaza and through an entire store. Usually we see these kinds of crashes at the bottom of hills (like in Newton a few years ago) or when the storefront is right in front of a parking space. This was either a malicious act or a medical emergency.

Judging from Street View this person must have suddenly accelerated while mid-turn and not braked for some time.

Westwood/Canton/Norwood/Dedham has housing stock under 900K, and abt 30 min to Logan. You can def get somewhat "woodsy" views there (probably not too much land though) and close to shops.

The actual Cheers bar.

Glad to see Avalon has a functional front desk.
