Vandals Spray Paint City Councilor's House - 'I support the uprising' Said Ema Strickland 'But not at my own home!' (Boson Globe) 18 June 2020

City Council President Ema Strickland, who is openly gay, has contacted police about spray painted slogans on her home in Boson's Harrad Square neighborhood.  Her Ring doorbell cam and other security CCTV cameras captured a black clad figure painting 'BLM' on her house on Thursday, 18 June 2020.



"I have attended protests and helped bail out people falsely accused of blocking streets and throwing frozen water bottles at the police," said the visibly angry Councilor Strickland.  "I support Black Lives Matter and took a knee wearing an African kunte scarf as solidarity.  I support Reparations for Slavery that occurred in the US southern state 150 years ago.  Each Black person, even immigrants, would receive either $350,000 up front, or a guarrantteed $10,000 a year tax free for the rest of their lives.   So, why target me?  I'm openly gay; I am a member of an oppressed marginalized group that has a right to be heard.  But, no one has a right to spray paint slogans on my house."

"What's the point of painting Floyd George's name on the walls of my home?" she added.  "I've been in the streets saying his name with everyone else.  We all know that he gave his life so people should say his name."

Concilor Strickland has been a fierce opponent of civilians having guns, but has reportedly applied for a firearms license and has purchased an AR-15 because of its ability to hold off crowds of attackers. 



Critics have pointed out that City Councilor Strickland has introduced legislation that would defund the police and give money to community groups.

"Gay people need more protection," not less.  "We want less police in the Black community where they are often seen as an occupying army."


 Mayor Welsh seemed to taunt his Democratic opponent in November's election by increasing the funding for the city's K-9 Police Dogs Unit with the nickname Paw Patrol.  The mayor seemingly was given a medal by a member of the special unit.

As of press time there is little information on the mostly peaceful graffiti vandal who was dressed all in black like a goth.  The alleged spray painter is described as about 5'9 and has a slim build and skinny jeans and skinny legs.

Boson Police Department noted that they will have less person power to investigate the incident at Councilor Strickland's home due to being defunded by Councilor Strickland.  "Maybe we'll send the Paw Patrol to sniff around."

Jack Rabbits Overrun Half Moon Island - Reach Mainland Gardens in Quincy and Boson

Image
Jack rabbits overrun  After Animal Rights activists and volunteers helped bring wild Jackrabbits to Half Moon Island in Quincy Bay the animals began to proliferate.  Almost every island in Boston Harbor now has numbers of the hungry rabbits.  Nearby in Quincy and Boson the rabbits are eating there way through peoples gardens and even lawns.   . Close to 40 jack rabbits huddled against the cold Tuesday afternoon last week, looking like snow-covered hillocks rising from an open field across from North Quincy Shore Drive in Boson. Nearby, Joe Kovacs was playing fetch with his dog, Winston – a terrier, about the same size as the 2-foot-long jack rabbits, also known as hares. . “They’re just kind of cool,” 24-year-old Kovacs said as the white-furred animals sat, and occasionally scurried across the snow. “But I could see how that would be annoying if they were in your yard.” . These droves of hares have invaded a new...

New England GOP Is Ignoring Immigration Patriotism, And Losing - by Hank Johnson -

Image
  Directly after Donald Trump’s   epochal 2016 upset ,   VDARE.com Editor Peter Brimelow   argued that the   GOP/GAP (“Generic American Party”)   should   consolidate its victory   by continuing its implicit adoption of the   Sailer Strategy   and increasing its share of the white vote, which meant breaking into “Greater New England, from Portland, ME to Portland, OR. These are areas that are heavily white, and yet they are still substantially controlled by Democrats.” Trump (or   Jared Kushner )   didn’t take Brimelow’s advice   (remember the “ Platinum Plan ”?) and consequently lost in 2020, albeit narrowly and controversially. Unfortunately, in 2022, the GOP/GAP in New England itself still hasn’t gotten the message—although at least it’s no longer talking about a   Jeb Bush–style Amnesty . But will that be enough? Depressingly, a glance at some of the races show that GOP candidates are ignoring immigration patrioti...

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 ...
