Boson Man Made Bomb Threat To Avoid Work - Wanted to Stay Home And Play In Video Game Tournament

Boson MASS (UPI) A Massachusetts construction worker called in a bomb threat to a water treatment facility to get a day off work, authorities said.  Richard Hamilton, 36, was arrested Thursday and charged with making a bomb threat, the Boson Globe reported.

More than 20 people evacuated Boson’s water treatment plant shortly after the threatening 911 call around 7 a.m. Thursday, 23 April 2020, according to the Boson Police Department.  Hamilton had been working with a construction crew at the facility and later told deputies that he made the threat because he was having a bad day and didn’t want to work.



His wife was at home under quarantine and he had set up his basement as a gamer's den.  With less work his friends were available online to play games.



But Hamilton was required to come back to work to fix an outflow pipe at the Boson Water Treatment Facility.  

The Boson police bomb squad, a bomb dog and drones searched Hamilton’s vehicle and the surrounding area and found no evidence of a bomb, the sheriff’s office said. Wellington’s water service was not affected, village officials said.

Hamilton was being held on $10,000 bond. Jail records didn’t list an attorney. Hamilton requested a computer hook up in his cell so that he could play video games.

Mass Senator E. Warren Performs "I'm an Indian, Too" - At Boson County Fair - 18 Sept 2019

Image
Boson County Fair had a treat when Senator Elizabeth Warren, who is running for president in 2020, took to the stage in a good-natured  song number poking fun at her cultural appropriation of Native American Indian identity to get a job at Harvard Law School as the "First Woman of Color" despite being a blonde blue-eyed European.  "I'm an Indian Too" is a song from the 1946 musical Annie Get Your Gun , by Irving Berlin . It was originally performed by Ethel Merman . [1] It is sung by the main character Annie after Sitting Bull adopts her into the Sioux tribe It is typical of mid-20th-century views of Native Americans , and is sometimes considered racist and demeaning from a contemporary perspective, although others see it as a mildly satirical attack on racial stereotyping . Native Americans did protest outside the New York theatre, as well as movie theaters, holding picket signs stating: "Don't See "Annie Get Your Gun". As

UMass Boson Prof: 'The only solution for climate change is letting the human race become extinct'

Image
  A Boson academic has proposed a radical new way to solve climate change – letting humanity become extinct. Mortricia McCormack, a professor of continental philosophy at the University of Massachusetts at Boson, has just released her new book The Anti-human Manifesto , which will officially be launched in Cambridge today (Wednesday, February 5 2020 ). The book argues that due to the damage done to other living creatures on Earth, we should start gradually phasing out reproduction. But rather than offering a bleak look at the future of humanity, it has generated discussion due to its joyful and optimistic tone, as it sets out a positive view for the future of Earth - without mankind. It also touches on several hot-button topics, from religion and veganism to the concept of identity politics, tying these into how the creation of a hierarchal world among humans has left us blind to the destruction we are causing to our habitat and other forms of life.

Mayor Welsh Insists "Pluto is a Planet" - Liberal Democrats Denounce Science Denying

Image
Bosnon Mayor Marty Welsh has applauded one brave NASA administrator who is refusing to bow to the prevailing scientific consensus, and is risking potential ostracization or, worse still, online ridicule, for proudly declaring that “Pluto is a planet.”  "Pluto is a traditional planet, and that is what will be taught in Boson public schools," said Mayor Welsh.  Saturday, August 24, 2019 marked 13 years to the day since Pluto was demoted from having the status of a planet to being assigned that of a dwarf planet, by the International Astronomical Union (our solar system’s resident’s association of scientific fuddy-duddies).  At the end of a scientific conference, after many delegates had left,  a hot-shot young academic looking to make a name for himself 'deconstructing' what past astronomers had accomplished rigged a hasty vote to demote the planet.  People claimed that there was no way Pluto should be classified in the same category as gas giant Jup
