Once again, out-of-town punks descend on Boston to cause trouble
NorthEndWaterfront.com reports on a North End community meeting that focused on both the most recent sexual attack and a series of incidents during the recent St. Anthony's Feast in which festival-goers found themselves under attack:
In an organized series of attacks, out-of-town teens set up feast visitors to be punched and shoved last Friday night at the St. Anthony's Feast. Boston Police believe the kids communicated by texting each other, identifying victims indiscriminately and then hitting them for no other reason than the thrill of assaulting random people. Observers witnessed punching, shoving and pushing in several locations on Endicott Street.
Officers identified suspects from Revere, Everett and Charlestown. Victims of the punches and fights choose not to pursue charges.
Out-of-towners were also blamed for much of the problems at the Mac Miller concert at City Hall Plaza.

Charlestown not exactly 'out
Charlestown not exactly 'out of town.'
Not the ones I was referring to, obviously
"Charlestown" was preceded in the account by "Revere, Everett."
Well yeah, obviously. You
Well yeah, obviously. You selected out the home town thugs, and focused on the (barely) suburban knuckleheads. For some reason.
Gotta love Adam as he
Gotta love Adam as he is.
Don't try to change him.
The way he tilts at suburban jackasses and supposed racists everywhere is adorable.
FLASH MOBS
Flash mobs which started out as clever fun gatherings have become the haven for thugs and muggers. The battle at Carson Beach, the concert at City Hall and now the feast gets taken over by punks.
Downtown Crossing is a ghost town because these bandits were allowed to take over,
never had or witnessed
any issues at Downtown Crossing...not sure what you're referring to unless it was like 30 years ago
Every time I see the phrase flash mob
I picture a bunch of people running around in trench coats and whipping them open to expose the public to a bit of nudity. Seems like it would be a better way to go on this concept.
say what you will
about la cosa nostra, but a strong LCN presence in the north end would have put an end to this nonsense with extreme dispatch.
Awfully nice of the police and the victims
to spare these kids a troublesome arrest and criminal record. So they know they can get away with the same behavior at least once more before facing any meaningful sanctions.
