Subway Tough
You have to hand it to T-Passengers a little lunch at Burger King gets stabbed and the only thing he's probably mad at is the orange line is late.
I just don't get it...
How does one go out for lunch (if you can even call Burger King food) and end up in a violent situation. It's just sad, absolutely sad.
That area
That area is a bit on the scuzzy side. Even with all the revitalization of Tremont Street with Suffolk, etc, there remains a certain street level skankiness that goes on around there.
Maybe they knew each other?
Maybe they knew each other? None of us know *shit* about what happened from the post. Maybe it has nothing to do with how "skanky" you find the location based on what you observe about people there being, presumably, different from you?
So...
If they knew each other, that makes it okay?
No, it would make it have
No, it would make it have nothing to do with how "skanky" anons perceive the area to be. I suspect they are conflating the poor (e.g. Bridge Over Troubled Water Services delivered at Park and Tremont) with high crime. Its a common form of ignorance.
These fools doing these
These fools doing these crimes aren't hanging around Downtown Crossing to get medical help, I can assure you that....
You
You are either joking or you never walk by there.
YES BUT
Is it more Skanky or Skuzzy?
You know what they say, Never bring a knife to a fight over a cheeseburger.
I'm willing to guess that
I'm willing to guess that none of the individuals involved just happened to be in the area for lunch. There's lots of sketchy shit going on right there every day
Is it more
Skanky Skuzzy or Sketchy?
YOU decide.
Hate to admit it
I hate to admit it but when I'm workingafter 5 I go in for a cheap cheeseburger. There are always people hanging out outside; sometimes the manager stands by the door and opens it for patrons. These people are blocked from view of the street by the T station. You have to keep your eyes open going there.
It's True
All kidding aside. I was asked to put a kiosk there in front of the new coffee place on the corner there by Winter Street. There is so much drug dealing and homeless activity there in front of Burger King and Seven Eleven that it was a full time job to keep my people safe.
We blew it off and there's currently some guy selling phone accessories there and crying all day because he's surrounded by scum.
The cops know but until there's a true zero tolerance policy it won't change. All of Winter Street and even the Irish Famine Memorial area is like this.
It's a shame because the true consumer and local are scared away buy this "riff raff".
It's very sketchy, skanky and Skuzzy.
I was asked to put a kiosk
Gee, you sure you can tell the difference between poor people and riff-raff? :rolleyes:
That area has been skanky since I was in high school (early 80s) and while it may have gotten cleaned up somewhat, it remains skanky. Anyone who thinks it's just "poor people" that raise people's suspicions probably hasn't spent much time there.
Lesson
When trying to decide between poor people and riff raff there is usually one factor that differs between the two.
Violence.
Yeah, there's that.
Not hard to figure it out really.
Which is more deadly?
The knife or the burger?
