[He] stated "I don't want your candy I want your money." The victim struck the suspect with a cane knocking him to the ground. Suspect fled on F St towards W 7th.

Jason reports that yesterday, the South Shore Plaza held a trick-or-treat thing for little kids and that everybody seemed to be participating except for the Godiva chocolate store - which he discovered when he was in there and some kids came in and went "trick or treat!" and the clerk told them they weren't participating:

... At first, I found it funny and ironic, but then I realized how idiotic and stupid the folks from Godiva were. Instead of being the store that handed out the best trick-or-treating candy in the mall - a great PR move with nominal costs - they instead became the fancy candy store that refused to give away candy to kids on Halloween.

When they had the opportunity to give candy to both the kids AND their parents - the ones with the wallets and pocketbooks who will soon be searching for holidays gifts - they created an entirely memorable yet unfavorable experience. ...

No yolk: Boston Police report numerous stores along Centre Street in West Roxbury were egged on Oct. 1. So they scrambled at E-5 and asked local supermarkets and convenience stores to refuse to sell eggs to anybody under 18, at least through Halloween. Also:

We ask that parents be attentive to their children. Look out for things such as backpacks being brought out, especially on weekends and on Halloween night. Listen! Keep an ear out for talk about egg wars. If you do overhear your children and you think they might participate in throwing eggs inform them of the consequences of these actions. We consider throwing eggs to be a very serious crime. Anyone caught throwing eggs at businesses, houses, or cars will be charged with willful and malicious destruction of property. Anyone caught throwing eggs at people will be charged with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon.
