Boson City Councilor Says He Wanted To Shoot Zoom Images Not College Profs - by Geneva Bell (AP) 1 Aug 2020

 Police Accountability Meeting
- by geneva bell

On July 18, 2020, Boson Republican City Councilor Frank Gagliano attended a virtual forum hosted by the University of Massachusetts at Boson, and ITT Tech Boson entitled “Education for Transformation: What We All Need to Know about Police Accountability Fund Distribution.”

Around 80 community members and leaders, activists, and regional Police Accountability experts took part, including members of the Boson NAACP, Boson Community Compact, Grant Specialists Charity, and The People’s Peaceful Protest.

Republican City Councilor At-Large Frank Gagliano

Councilor Gagliano was active in the chat during the online forum, repeatedly thanking the participants and stating that the event was “great” and he was “walking away feeling good.”


"He was obsequiously agreeable and fawning over every idea before a person had finished their presentation," one anonymous source said.  


The next day, July 19 2020, Councilor Gagliano attended the "Back the Blue Ride and Rally" at the Candle Holder Pond Welcome Center Park. Over a hundred “Back the Blue” supporters drove and rode from Boson Commons to the pond for the event.



Councilor Gagliano was speaking with one attendee who was streaming live video of the event, and commented on the HWS forum he had attended the previous day, saying:

“…the College did their whole thing? For police accountability? What experience do these professors and part time instructors have?  They couldn't handle a day substituting in a middle school.  I had to be polite and listen to these people with a straight face.  If I could have got a gun and shot the squares on my computer screen and killed everybody…disgusting.”

Gagliano also called police reform advocates “little squawkers who think their voice is being heard…it’s not.”

Additionally, Gagliano stated that he would vote no against any efforts to create a Police Accountability Board.

The Republican town committee defended the councilor saying that he had only said he wanted to shoot images on his screen, like in a fantasy computer game, not actually go out of his house and find these people to shoot or harm in any way.  He was objecting to their ideas and sanctimonious presentations.

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...

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...

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 ...
