What's That Burning Smell?
No need to panic, folks. Put away the fire extinguishers. It's just the mayor blowing smoke out of his ass again.
Just a quick follow-up to this post from yesterday, telling of the Rev. Bruce Wall's plans to maintain a 24-hour vigil in the streets of Dorchester in an effort to stand up to the violent thugs running rampant in his neighborhood and reclaim the streets for the people of Boston.
With ALL due respect, fuck you, Tom. You and the rest of your liberal, big-government, feel-good, do-nothing buddies in the state legislature and judiciary have done everything short of placing chocolate mints on the pillows for these "misunderstood youths" who continue to terrorize the residents of your city with relative impunity.
you want to convey a message of "not welcome" to these scumbags? What do you say you let the people of your city take responsibility for their own safety, instead of having to rely on the mercy of armed thugs for their very lives? We've seen how well that works, haven't we?
Just "give them what they want", right? No, thanks.
Memo to City Councilor (and 2005 Boston mayoral candidate) Maura Hennigan:
If, in fact, you are serious about taking out Menino this November, do yourself a big favor. Get a sleeping bag and join Reverend Wall and the rest of his supporters in this effort. No camera crews. No security detail. Trust me on this one, the people in these neighborhoods will pay attention.
Or, you could sit on your ass like the Mayor is choosing to do here and issue hollow, grammatically-impaired press releases.
Your call.

He invited city leaders and Mayor Tom Menino to join him.
"We want to work together on any means that we can to tell the bad guys that they are not welcome in our neighborhood," Menino said.

...the violent Semont Road mugging of a 17-year-old Eagle Scout, who was knifed in the back after giving up his money to his assailants.
