Boston's raging drug problem has deepened after images surfaced of a man hunched over outside of the city's poshest mall.
The unidentified man could be seen lurched over and using a phone outside of Copley Place in the Democratic-led city, in footage taken by a passer-by.
It was shared to social media by a group of locals openly opposed to Democrat Mayor Michelle Wu as the latest example of the problems facing the Massachusetts city.
'Wow can't even shop in Mayor Wu's Boston without running into drug addicts,' the post said. 'This is in Boston's most luxurious mall too.'
The city has been in the spotlight after residents lashed out at Wu, blaming her policies for enabling behavior similar to what was captured outside the mall.
Locals have blamed Wu for her decision to hand out free crack pipes, syringes, and other paraphernalia to addicts in 2022 as helping fuel the problems.
While Wu's administration pitched the controversial move as 'harm reduction,' critics have countered that all she's done is increase the permissiveness of public drug use in Boston.
The intersection of Massachusetts Avenue and Melnea Cass Boulevard, known as 'Mass and Cass,' is notorious for open-air drug usage.

Give ‘em what they voted for, good and hard.
Revenge for the Opium Dens.
Every major city in the U.S. has this problem, and many not so major cities.
It’s all about who’s in charge. Democrats, every one of them.
“Is it wrong to wonder if the mayor is getting a piece of the crack cocaine action?”
Her goal is to destroy the country and bring on the communist revolution.
Very progressive.
“Red China is destroying America.”
Nope — America is destroying itself.

That looks more like somebody with osteoporosis than a drug addict.
Yup.
She will win again …. With a slam dunk. These folks are so dumb.
We stayed at a hotel in midtown then took an Uber to the cruise terminal. It was on our ride when we saw all the drug zombies. I would think it would be safe around there because the meth/fentanyl zombies were all bent over and couldn’t even walk. Sick and sad to see.
