BOSTON (AP) – The death of a college student from a pepper-spray-filled projectile sparked anger and questions Friday about whether police used too much force to break up rowdy Red Sox revelers outside Fenway Park.
In all of the hand-wringing, though, I’ve not heard the question asked; Why didn’t this happen in St. Louis? No, it’s not for lack of drinking, as Boston’s Mayor proposed the other day…
Is it possible that the values taught by parents in each location may be the difference?
Is it also possible that the locals in St. Louis know that instead of hand-wringing like Boston’s doing now, St. Louis cops will simply come in, and kick butt in these situations, and that, therefore, people in St Louis tend not to get involved in such behavior which would require that kind of police action in the first place?
Instead of blaming the Boston cops for a death in a riot situation, should we perhaps look a bit deeper?
The reason we don’t is rather simple;
Boston, the hometown of John Kerry, is a far-leftist town.
St. Louis isn’t.
That’s the only real difference, here between these two bergs. Both their teams went to the World Series through a seven- game funnel… Both haven’t made it to the big dance in years….
And so, the reason those questions don’t get asked by those hand-wringing in Boston this morning, is because the answer would show the root cause of such riots, as having a direct connection with a leftist worldview, and the cause of not solving that problem is the desire to keep people from blaming that worldview.
If you doubt this, look at the places were such riots following championship games, have occurred. Do the math yourself.
