The MBTA reports some yahoo threw something on the tracks at Park Street that came into contact with the third rail around 7 a.m., shorting out the system and forcing the T to run shuttle buses between Harvard and Broadway until a maintenance crew could undo the damage. Service resumed around 8:20 a.m.

The T has enough issues without some muppet throwing liquid on the 3rd rail and shorting the whole thing for one of the most heavily utilized parts of the line. Doing it on Sunday morning adds insult to injury.
I appreciate the creative accountability. My idea was to tie him to a pole in Boylston and make him listen to the shrieking from the rails - 1 hour for every passenger he inconvenienced.
But is the Kendall Square hammer
