Man Arrested After He's Denied Burger King Breakfast - by Jesse Leavenworth (Boson Courant) 20 Oct 2020


Boson MASS — Denied a fast food breakfast because he was too late, a local man became angry and cited a movie in which a similar rejection results in a customer threatening people with a gun, police said Tuesday.



Tracked down at his home after the confrontation at a Burger King restaurant on Sunday, Kary Guhn was arrested and charged with first-degree threatening and second-degree breach of peace, police spokesman Capt. Christopher Davis said.

At about 10:55 a.m., Guhn, 55, ordered breakfast at the Burger King on Center Street, but was told that breakfast service had ended at 10:30 a.m., Davis said.



"Have you ever seen the movie, 'Falling Down' with Michael Douglas?" Guhn asked the cashier, according to Davis. "It's a movie you should watch."

Guhn told the cashier the main character in the movie shot up a burger joint after being denied breakfast and added, "That's what I feel like doing," Davis said. Kuhn then threw a coupon at the cashier and walked out, Davis said.

In the 1993 movie, Douglas' character, D-Fens, orders breakfast at a "Whammy Burger" and is told breakfast service ended five minutes earlier. D-Fens then pulls out a submachine gun, threatens everyone in the place and then decides to have lunch instead, according to the movie website, http://www.imdb.com. Before he leaves, he berates the staff for serving him a hamburger that looks nothing like the advertising posters, according to the plot synopsis.

Tracked down at his home after the confrontation at a Burger King restaurant on Sunday, Kary Guhn was arrested and charged with first-degree threatening and second-degree breach of peace, police spokesman Capt. Christopher Davis said.

Officers who arrested Guhn, of 8 Lookout Mountain Drive, asked him if he wanted to waive his right to remain silent, and he answered that "he only wanted a sandwich; he was still hungry," Davis said.

"He explained that because his mother left for work before he got up each morning he had to get his morning meal at the nearby Burger King restaurant.  We asked why he didn't just walk a few blocks down the street to Dunkin' Donuts where they sell breakfast style sandwiches and donuts all day."

"It's too far to walk," responded Guhn.

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

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.
