One has to think that people become Harvard professors by having a certain amount of native intellect, but this story of a raid by police in Weare, Connecticut may shake that assumption. Two medical-school professors either facilitated a drunken party involving 70 teenagers attending their daughter’s graduation party, or they got outsmarted — by dozens of drunken teenagers:
Two Massachusetts doctors, both who teach at Harvard Medical School, were arrested Sunday and charged with facilitating an underage drinking party in which 70 teenagers — mostly new graduates of St. Paul’s School in Concord — were placed into police custody.
Police said J. Wesley Boyd, 46, and Theonia Boyd, 49, were charged with facilitating an underage drinking party.
Boyd insists that he told the kids that alcohol wouldn’t be tolerated at his party. He then told police that he had noticed one or two kids that might have been intoxicated, but that he didn’t see any evidence of them drinking. That’s funny, because police saw plenty of it:
Boyd, a psychiatrist, said he never saw anyone drinking any alcohol. He acknowledged he may have thought one or two kids were intoxicated, but he couldn’t know for sure because he saw no one drinking.
He was surprised when police showed photos, taken after the arrests, with large numbers of beer containers in the yard, he said.
Shocked, shocked I am that police found this subtle evidence that Professor Boyd somehow missed! All of that beer must have mysteriously materialized at the residence without Boyd’s eagle eye picking it up.
Even though the police did a better job of protecting the teens than the Boyds, the Boyds made sure to tell the press just how racist Weare’s finest were in dealing with the situation:
Meanwhile, he said police made derogatory comments about some of the students taken into custody. They called an Asian a special-needs student; told an African-American he must be at St. Paul’s on a basketball scholarship and described an Indian woman as a princess, Boyd said. A red-head was called “red,” he said.
“You pick the stereotype, there were derogatory remarks being made about that person,” he said.
Yeah! You know, Boyd was just going to let them get tanked and get into the 30 cars impounded at the residence. The police called a girl “Red” and another one “Princess.” Let’s get some perspective here, people!
Boyd says he’ll fight the charges, presumably by telling a judge all about the racism inherent in the system. Unless Boyd gets his representation from Harvard Law, his lawyer will probably advise him to shut the hell up and pay the fines.
Liberals everywhere yell “RACISM” at every chance to cover up their own criminality. What a bunch of skunks.
But officer, that isn’t BEER! That’s Natural Light. Nobody can get drunk from that!

There’s a pliable young mindI’d like to mould...
Based on his remarks as recorded in that story, I am almost willing to believe “Dr.” Boyd really WAS outsmarted by a group of teenagers.
LOL! A couple of goobers, pathetically trying to fashion a racism escape hatch. "How come everybody else gets to claim racism and we don't?"
It's just not fair, doc!! Maybe you should have accused the cops of uglyism. Your wife would have gotten off for sure!
I am willing to let them all off the hook, they had to sit through a John Kerry commencement speech earlier in the day!
Stupid and Guilty (in that order)
Concord is filled these types. Liberal and ugly go hand and hand.
Hot Air got the state wrong; it’s in NH (or North Massachusetts, as I sometimes call it) not Conn. St Paul’s School is in Concord and John Effin’ Kerry was an alumnus

Richie: All we had was some beer in teeny tiny glasses
Howard Cunningham: How many teenty tiny glasses did you have?
Richie: 72.
Ohio's anti-alcohol ad states parents can be fined $1000; 70 kids times $1000 and fine each parent equals a whole bunch of money!
Wonder what Connecticut law applies ?

WEARE – Police yesterday told quite a different story from what the two Harvard University professors said after being charged with facilitating a high school weekend booze bash that resulted in 70 students being detained by police.
When asked how much alcohol was at the party, Weare police Lt. Jim Carney replied, “You’d probably need a dump truck to get it out of there. We confiscated 20 or 30 cases (of beer) from the vehicles. That’s a small amount compared to what was at the house.”
Police said mostly beer and some hard liquor was found. Officers did not find illegal drugs. Numerous garbage bags and pizza boxes were piled in front of the home yesterday.
The Prof’s didn’t do it right. Fast forward to 1:36-2:20.

I was talking last weekend to a supervisor with out local parks department. Somehow the subject of hiring the summer staff of mostly teenagers (lifeguards and such) came up. He stated that he wished he could ban them from alcohol because too often they show up terribly hungover. In his view this problem has become much greater since the drinking age was raised to 21. I asked if he’d be in favor of changing it back to 18 and I was surprised when he said it should probably be more like 16. Just thought it was an interesting perspective from someone who had been employing teenagers for many years.
