Officers arrested a moped operator in the South End after he threatened another driver with a gun, according to Boston police.

Maybe they should check Giovanni’s Room for the gun, so long as author James Baldwin is not there.
{Aren’t mopeds considered “environmentally friendly”?}
A fair percentage, not a majority, of environmentalist do not like bicycles and mopeds because they take up about the same amount of space on the road as a car. This sub-set believes in only walking and mass transit.
This proves to me that at least some of the environmental movement is about control
My money is on the driver with the gun.
If I was riding around Boston on a mo-ped, I would definitely have a gun.
Don't you know that Everybody Wants to Be Italian?
That, or he was confusing Saturday for Wednesday, racing home for Prince Spaghetti Day, this being a leap year, and all.
There are so many of the damn things in Hawaii, clogging up the roads going 10-25 mph slower than car traffic, they often leave greasy skidmarks after some tourist nails one. I suspect that they are motorized, they get less slack than bicycles, along with their weaving about at the edge of the road.
No way would I ride one, small motorcycles that can keep up with cars are not expensive.

The "mom" just died this month.
Went to the Prince Grotto in the 1980s once or twice. Had some co-workers that were really into lunch places, especially the pre-fab diners.
