Boston police are investigating a rash of graffiti in the city's financial district that appears to be in support of the nearby Occupy Boston movement. Police say nearly two dozen locations, including banks, were hit over the weekend by spray-painted messages that say things such as "End the Fed" and "Tax the Rich." Some of the graffiti includes a capital A in a circle, a symbol used by anarchists. Police say they have made no arrests but are looking at surveillance video from the area. Protesters from Occupy Boston are living in a tent city on the edge of the financial district. Some protesters say vandalism is counterproductive to their goals and they don't condone the graffiti.
Cue all the overly liberal friends of yours from college claiming conspiracy today! I haven't logged in to Facebook yet but I can think of three people in my feed that should be all over this and I'm almost guaranteeing that 2 of the 3 will blame Menino or the Boston Police for the Grafiti, using it as a set up to disperse Occupy Boston.
Because it would be absolutely unfathomable to think that out of 100's of people living in tents in the middle of down town, not one of them is a bad egg who would lash out in an illegal way in support of their cause. Impossible, just wouldn't happen, right guys? Out of all those people down there making creative posters all day long like it's their job (oh yea, it is...), it would be way too much of a stretch to assume a few of them are into tagging.
Glad you guys had fun while it lasted, but I'd say your time has just about run out. Menino will tolerate a lot, spitting on female coast guard members, absolutely ruining the Greenway which just happens to be the best park in the city, listening to Marxist chants from entitled students and chuckling, and even paying for police detail overtime, but I'm pretty sure when you lash out like immature children or adults that never grew up, that's where Mumbles will draw the line....Lest we forget the guy basically called for martial law in 2007 when some guerilla markters for Aqua Teen Hunger Force went around pinning up Lightbrite pictures of cartoon characters...I'm pretty sure he's going to throw a shit fit once he ties this grafiti back to the Occupy Camp.
Of course all this would've been avoided if you'd rented a hall a couple weeks ago and let leadership organize your group and run it like a real organization instead of a bunch of ragamuffins.
