It's All New Hampshire's Fault
Further proof, as if any was required, that Boston Mayor Tom "Blame ______" Menino is a disingenuous fraud, addicted to the constant need to deflect blame and criticism from the failed policies of his office and his party.
Boston Herald:
Gee, what were the odds of that?
If, by the "system with the bracelet", you mean "prison with a blanket and a tin dish", I totally agree.
Emphasis on "should".
Yet, this is the same community, which year after year, elects the same liberal, criminal-coddling politicians, on the same failed promises, with the same results, and the same excuses.
The community brought this on itself, and only the communty can bring about a remedy.
Don't hold your breath.
UPDATE: Don't feel bad, Boston. You're not alone. From New York City, home to Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Tom Menino's partner in crime in their "Mayors Against Free Citizens" coalition, comes this charming tale.
Quick! Ban all long guns with checkering on the stock!!!
Jack up the gun license fee to $5,000!!!
Expand the NICS background check to include elementary school playground scuffles!!!
We've got to do something!!!
Oh, wait. Fear not! The mayor's on the job.
When idiocy and fascism collide.

Suffolk District Attorney Daniel Conley said, “The decision to bring a loaded gun to a city park and pull the trigger [there ought to be a law! - ed.] is reckless, brazen and completely unacceptable. We will not stand for it, and neither should the community.”
Emphasis on "should".
