File Under "Reap What You Sow"

From the Boston Herald comes this tale of gun crime in the peace-loving hippy-dippy hamlet of Cambridge. I'm shocked, I tell you...SHOCKED!

Yes, as always, the Dead Horse Beating Alert is in full effect.

Harvard University is warning students to be wary after two incidents near campus Tuesday night in which a male student was robbed at gunpoint and a Lesley College coed was indecently assaulted.

Shortly after 9 p.m., Harvard freshman Robert K. Lord was robbed of $60 and his cellphone by two men, one of whom was armed with a handgun.

"Normal conflict is something that I can deal with. I'm a martial artist," Lord told the Harvard Crimson. "This guy pulls out a gun, points it at my stomach and the whole game changes right there."

But the police are handing out plastic whistles. If only you had taken advantage of their divine benevolence, surely you'd have been able to repel your assailant.

Here's more news from La Rive Gauche:

Cambridge parents lash out over homeless in parks.

Cambridge parents who are tired of the human waste and bedrolls left by homeless people in city playgrounds say they want the community to stop encouraging overnight sleeping.

"They are raising the rights of homeless people above the safety and health of children. That flummoxes me," said Millicent Stilwell, who said she has seen used condoms, human waste, toilet paper and bedrolls at the playground on Cambridge Common when taking her 2 1/2-year-old daughter to play there.

So, the people of Cambridge elect the most bleeding heart, leftist, politically correct candidates they can find. These elected officials then proceed to enact the most bleeding heart, leftist, politically correct legislation they can come up with. Things go south, and the people who put them in office are now "flummoxed".

Well, cry me a (Charles) river.
