I suppose I should be glad I haven't heard of any shootings so far. I hope its not a matter of time. I am a very tolerant fellow, but perhaps its time to get all Guliani-style draconian on the sketch artists who are up to no good there.

What's up....

Thanks man!
As long as I know I am annoying people with some of my comments I know that I have struck a nerve of truth in what I say. Nice potty fingers by the way. I'm sure your pet rat must be proud of you.

Sorry to be persnickety, but it is a pet cat. The rat just kind of lives in the basement.
Did the T Police really just use "dat" in their post?!?
Not to take the name of one of our regular posters name in vain, but...
Cripes.
No, dat wasn't the T Police.
No, dat wasn't the T Police. Read da tweet more carefully. Criiiiiipes.
"Perimeter established around dat building"
If I've learned anything from every season of '24,' setting up a perimeter is a law-enforcement code word for 'let the suspects easily escape.'
Is this a completely random,
Is this a completely random, non provoced attack? I guess so if it was robbery? We live in a scary world
A lot of times, the people
A lot of times, the people involved know each other. Druggies often accuse each other of stealing drugs, money, etc.
So...
Did they get these guys or what?
At least a couple of them
Down on Cabot Street.
Orange Line
At least the Orange Line was helpful for someone last night.
