Jail guest becomes jail inmate for the night
Boston Police report arresting a guest at the former Charles Street Jail (now known as the Liberty Hotel) who was allegedly spoiling for a fight in the lobby last night. When they arrived and he offered to duke it out with them, they escorted him to another building with bars on the windows.
His arrest comes a month after he was arrested for raising a similar ruckus at Olives in Charlestown.

Officers shortly thereafter observed the suspect removed his private parts from his pants, and ordered him to zip up his pants, and get off the train. The suspect stated to officers "It's too late!" At this time officers observed the suspect start to urinate all over the floor of the train causing people to scatter and scurry away from the suspect.
Finally, in the mayhem department, police report that when security guards at the Back Bay Lord and Taylor tried to stop an alleged shoplifter, he warned he was armed and willing to shoot. They backed off; police report arresting the guy at Clarendon and Stanhope.

3/30/08 Boston Globe LTE re: Right To Public Assembly on Boston Common
by MikeC
PRESERVING Boston Common should mean much more than
keeping the grass green ("Large events may become
uncommon at city's beloved park," Page B1, March 20).
The Common was America 's very first public grounds
and the city should not regulate away the right of the
people to assemble peaceably there for the sake of a
greener lawn. If greener grass is what the city wants,
they can achieve that by not allowing dogs to urinate
on the grounds. Boston Parks Department maintenance
people have told anyone who asks that dog urine, not
peaceable assemblies, is what damages the grass most.

It's right
here.
Poof!
It couldn't post the comment because the URL was missing. Because there was an error posting the comment, the comment fell into the giant bit bucket in the ether/inter net. When I clicked back, the text of the comment was no longer in the form. Poof!
Don't think it has anything to do with the value of the "Your Name:" field.

Something went poof, like you said. I hate software sometimes.
...and...
it's largely not in the same style or format of the rest of the website making it somewhat grating for those of us who come here to read the stories. Please stay, read how Adam and others write the entries (except "the Zak", use that as a how-not-to), THEN add your thoughts in similar style.
Um, so the cops really didn't do anything anyway.
So how come the cops didn't swoop down on the guy as soon as it appeared that he was going to drop trou? Isn't that considered an indecent act? Why wait for things to get worse?
He didn't drop trou
He unzipped. And good for Boston cops for showing restraint and giving him a chance to zip back up first.
But this reminds me: Why do we still have a separate MBTA police force?
Guest Fighting at Liberty Hotel
This is Kevin Shaughnessy. His Dad lives in Abington, but he is a Charlestown punk to the core. Shaughnessy made the news a month or two ago for doing something else stupid and criminal. Charlestown rat.
I'd bet my paycheck he was not a "guest" at the hotel but just stumbled in there from somewhere else where he got loaded. He can ill afford to stay at the new high end hotel or drink in it's bar.
The last time he was arrested
Causing trouble (allegedly) at Olives.
Shaughnessy
And yet again last year in Rhode Island
"Wickford Barracks
At 7:30 pm Troopers arrested Kevin Shaughnessy, age 34, of 96 Elderberry Circle, Abington MA on a 6th District Court capias for Failure to Appear for Arraignment/ Simple Assault. Result of motor vehicle stop on Route 95 South, Warwick. Subject processed at barracks and transported to ACI."
