Recent State Mental Patient Caught Lurking Around Mayor Welsh Cabin as President Trump Visits - Sent Dozen's of Threatening and Incomprehensible Text Messages - 14 Oct 2019

A longed for long weekend retreat for President Trump and local supporter Boson's Republican Mayor Martin Welsh was less peaceful when a man with mental problems was arrested in the woods of the East Blue Hills.

Mayor Welsh expressed frustration, "They're coming out of the woods.  People are being driven nuts by the present toxic political environment."

When asked if President Trump and the mayor himself were not adding to the current stress of the toxic political environment Mayor Welsh shook his head and wagged his finger at this reporter.

The mayor seemed to dig into his upper-class boarding school classical education and quoted Aristotle, in Classical Greek.

"Ο άνθρωπος είναι πολιτικό ζώο. Ένας άνθρωπος που ζει μόνος είναι είτε ένα κτήνος είτε ένας Θεός"

“Man is a political animal. A man who lives alone is either a Beast or a God”

― Aristotle, Politics



After using Google Translate, this reporter pointed out to Mayor Welsh that a more accurate translation of 'political animal' was 'an animal of the polis' which means an animal of the city.'

"It's all Greek to me," the mayor responded with a laugh.  "Go ask some teacher down at Boson Latin School."

President Trump, who was nowhere in sight at the mayor's cabin in the woods did not study Greek in high school or college. 

While the mayor wanted to "go off the grid" while in the forest retreat of an a cabin with no electricity for a few days both the president and mayor continued to send out tweets and text messages.

The cell phone reception in the East Blue Hills Reservation is excellent because the highest peak in the modest hills has massive cell phone towers at the summit. 

Despite the lack of electrical power lines to the isolated mayoral cabin, there are hand cranked devices at the mayoral family retreat deep in the forest.  Both chief executives insist on using their own muscles to turn the crank on the ingenious device that creates the small amount of electricity to power a cell phone or other small electrical batteries.

 But both the mayor and president were receiving unwanted threats over their vacation days. 

But a steady stream of threats were received from a man who was recently an outpatient and an involuntary in-patient of Boson's
Mattaponsett  State Hospital,  Off the record one staff member at the off the record "nut house" said that government cut backs had reduced the money for the medications many of the city's homeless insane people get to keep them functioning.  


The  man accused of sending more than a dozen threats to Mayor Welsh and visiting President Trump used Facebook Messenger and Twitter.   The tone of the messages made the mayor’s staff think he could be “the next mass shooter.”   The presidents Secret Service detail decided to leave the affair to the Boson Police as the president's security is focused on Kurdish death threats and Democratic party lunatics who can't wait for impeachment to remove Trump from office before he is illegally re-elected and hopefully not in a landslide. 

The would be assassin was arrested Friday, 11 October 2019,  according to a warrant affidavit.

Converse sent at least 14 threatening and expletive-laced messages to the mayor and the president through the messaging app on Oct. 9 and Oct. 10, the document states.

“It would be nicer to leave you all dead with no hope of life after death ... I want to see people dead,” one of the messages read, while others stated, “People will lose hands, arms, feet, and heads. Don’t even try me,” “I’ll burn you” and “I’ll silence you all for good,” according to the affidavit.

Thomas Adam Converse, 25, was charged with making a terroristic threat to a public servant and resisting arrest, both Class A misdemeanors.

In another message, Converse demanded money and wrote “I’m going to stab you,” the affidavit states.

The document said the mayor’s communications director noticed the messages on the mayor's twitter feed and Facebook page and reported them to Boson Police and the Secret Service, telling officers that “his office feared (Converse) could be the next mass shooter based on his comments.”

The director was unnamed in the affidavit. Bruce Davidson, who has that title, said Saturday the office would not comment on the arrest or on the mayor’s security. 

In the affidavit, a Boson Police Department detective stated investigators believed Converse was capable of carrying out violence, adding that he was recently been released from in an “emergency detention.”

One of the final straws was an enigmatic graphic 'daily inspirational quote' Converse sent to both President Trump and Mayor Welsh.

On Oct. 11, officers working for the department’s Mental Health Unit went to Converse’s residence, and followed him down East Blue Hills Parkway to the end of the roadway deep in the woods near Mayor Welsh's cabin where they saw him walk out with a large machete in his belt loop.




Police drew weapons and shouted to the man,"Boson Police, where are you going with that knife?"

"I'm just going into the woods to cut my hair," Converse shouted running away.  "I worship nature and my hair is a sacrifice,"


After a few warning shot that grazed his cheek Converse surrendered.

“He stated he was a contract assassin with the government and if he had a license to kill, he would kill people,” the affidavit states. When contacted, the both the CIA and FBI stated that they would not employ such an incompetent loser as an assassin, and would have killed him immediately if he had been arrested doing a 'hit' for them. 

While police attempted to detain Converse, he resisted by putting his arms behind his back and attempting to pull out the machete, the document states. After a chase through the forest he was taken into custody and transported to a hospital for an evaluation and later arrested, the affidavit said.  Boson Police added, "He was indeed wearing 'Converse' sneakers when he was arrested."


While trying to escape through the woods Converse kept shouting, "I'm not playing with you, I'm not playing with you."


Police reportedly responded, "We aren't playing either, this is our job, and we get paid for it."


When informed of the ruckus President Trump said, "Thank God for the police in this state!"


"Amen," added Mayor Welsh.
